Storms Miss But Rain Hits

The storms moved out in time but at least one torrential ten minutes of rain managed to soak the golfers tonight. On the bright side it cooled us down for about five minutes before the humidity kicked in again.

Sorry guys but I had to leave before everyone had made it off the course so no update this week to the standings yet. Hopefully I'll get it done before next week...but don't count on it. I do know that Jim Conley won the 50/50 this week.

Have a good weekend and see you next Wednesday.

Blue Tees Play Tough

The play from the blue tees proved to be a challenge tonight for many. The distance combined with some stiff breezes made for some challenging holes and in some cases some higher scores than normal.

The Rolling Stones, Latecomers, Wedgers, Hackers and KGB all took six points while the Dubbers grabbed four from the CCCP.

The Closest to the Pin prizes were won by Kim Defosse (#5) and Nick Vangemeren (#14). Andy Koetstra grabbed the 50/50 prize.

Yup, It's Summer Golf

While the heat wasn't quite at the level it was last week there's no doubt the sauna was still open for business as we hit the links tonight.

The humidity might be getting to some but for most we're enjoying the sun, warmth and golf game while we can. We know all too well what awaits us in four months or so.

With only one player in attendance, the Wedgers were forced to forfeit their match, thus handing all six points to the Bogies. The KGB, Fivesome and Fat Shafts also swept their matches.

Dave Powell zeroed in on hole #4 and lipped out just missing his ace but held on to win the Closest the the Pin. Scott Reilly also put his close on #13. The 50/50 was won by Michael Walker.

Like Golfing in a Sauna

If anyone ever wanted to know what it would be like to golf in a sauna, wonder no more. With no breeze and the humidity making it feel like 41C (that's 105F for the non-metric folks) we were thankful that it was only 9 holes tonight and not 18. If the heat wasn't enough to make you a little grumpy, the deer flies certainly helped.

The Whizbangers, Wedgers, Rolling Stones, Southpaws and CCCP all took six points while the Fat Shafts managed to grab five from the Bogies.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Alec McQuarrie on #3 and Nick Vangemeren on #12. This weeks 50/50 winner was Larry Tomchick.
