Golf Cancelled Tonight

Due to the lovely rainy weather and the cold damp conditions, golf has been cancelled for tonight.

See you next Wednesday!

Week One Finally Happens

After what seemed like the winter that would never end, the league finally saw the first swings of the new season. For some of us, it was a lot of swings.

A chilly night and a stiff breeze made for less than favourable conditions but the course was in good shape and there was no snow to be found so how could anyone really complain?

My apologies for not getting the results up sooner but I had to work at 9pm Wednesday night and some folks were tardy in entering their scores before I had to leave. But I have the results from night one now. I would appreciate it if you guys could tally the scores as soon as you can get in if at all possible.

Five teams swept all six points as the KGB, Dubbers, Whizbangers, CCCP and Southpaws all won their matches. Meanwhile the Fat Shafts and Bogies battled to a split taking three points each.

Rick Dean grabbed the Closest to the Pin prize on Hole #1 while Tim Donaldson was the sharpest on the back nine on Hole #10. The 50/50 was won by Dave Reid.

Setting the standard to beat for Individual Low Gross was Tim Donaldson shooting a 28 and the Team Low Gross was turned in by the Southpaws with a 95.

Here are a few photos I snapped on night one. You can click on them to see them bigger. See you next week.

Sad News Prior To Start The Season

Our League received some sad news prior to the start of the season when we learned that Ron MacDonald had passed away on Monday at the age of 78.

Ron was a long time member of the Dubbers. He was a quiet man on the course but was always willing to share a laugh or some good conversation and he will be sadly missed. Our most sincere condolences go out to Ron's wife Karen and the entire family.

Friends are invited to call at the Weaver Family Funeral Home - East Chapel, 29 Bay St., Trenton on Friday April 25th, 2014 from 10 - 11 AM. A Celebration of Life will follow at 11 AM in the East Chapel.

Here We Go!

I just got the word from Steve Powell.

We start the league on Wednesday April 23rd at 6pm.

Hopefully we're done with the snow and the temperatures will start to climb again finally.

See you guys then.

The Winter That Won't End

Are you guys getting cabin fever and itching to get the clubs out of storage and start swinging again? I know I'm looking forward to losing my first balls of the new season.

As it stands right now there's no word on any official start date for the upcoming league season. Obviously it all depends on the return of some heat and the melting of the snow along with the drying of the course.

Last year it was mid-April before we got things going and I'm guessing this year won't start any sooner but as soon as I hear any concrete date or get an update of any kind on the course, I'll be sure to post it here.

I know that Alida has also started a Murray Hills Facebook page where you might also be able to get details even sooner so you might want to Like that page if you haven't already. That's provided you're a Facebook user of course.

Hope to see you on the course within the next few weeks.
