Settling Into A Routine

With a few weeks under our belts now, things are starting to settle into the groove for the season. And after a day that saw impressive heat, we actually had to bundle up a bit tonight for the round. But at least there was no rain although it looked like it might most of the round.

David Wharry misses his birdie putt.

In the matches tonight according to the scores submitted at the time I recorded them, the Rolling Stones did some damage against the league leading Southpaws taking all six points up for grabs. Also sweeping their matches were the Fat Shafts, Whizbangers and Bogies. The Dubbers took five points, Wedgers earned four, CCCP took 2 points and the Latecomers took 1.

Jerry Powell continued his impressive season of golf by grabbing the Closest to the Pin on hole #5 while Paul Reid stuck it close on hole #14. The 50/50 winner this week was Rick Turtle.

We enter June next week which means the first of the 18 hole rounds aren't far off so be prepared for them coming soon.

Ian MacDonald tees off on hole 4.

How About Those Mosquitoes?

I don't think anyone is surprised, after the long snowy Winter and the wet Spring, by the over abundance of mosquitoes and black flies we're seeing this year. Some say this will be one of the worst years ever. Hopefully you guys had your bug spray tonight as they were plentiful.

One thing that wasn't plentiful was sub-30 rounds of golf. Nobody was able to break into the 20's as Tom St.Denis and David Schwartz both shot 30 to share the low scores of the evening.

Schwartz was also lucky enough to have his name drawn to win the 50/50 prize.

Andy Koetstra tees off on the ninth hole.

The Closest to the Pin winners tonight were Peter Hughes on hole #4 while Mark Adams took the honours on the back nine on hole #13.

In the team play, sixes were wild once again as five teams swept their matches. The CCCP, Dubbers, Hackers, Southpaws and Wedgers all grabbed six points. The Latecomers took four while the Fivesome earned two points.

Just a reminder that to be eligible to take part in the year end playoff day and party you have to play at least one round in each half of the season. See you guys next week.

Koetstra On Fire Tonight

It's early in the season but Andy Koetstra of the Fat Shafts was in mid-season form as he turned in an impressive round tonight.

His round of one under par 26 led all golfers and moved him into sole possession of the Individual Low Gross. Andy's first shot of the night on hole #12 also held up and garnered him the Closest to the Pin prize for the back nine.

Mark Adams tees off on hole three.

The front nine winner was Barry Defosse on hole #3. The 50/50 winner this week was Marsh Ferguson.

Five of the six matches for the evening were swept as the Fat Shafts, CCCP, Southpaws, Bogies and Wedgers all took six points. The Rolling Stones came close with five points while a single point went to the Latecomers.

I also want to say welcome to all of the new league members we have this year as I see several new faces have joined us. We all hope you enjoy your time in the league this season.

Sorry for the delay updating guys. Work and errands take priority sadly.

Scott Reilly finds trouble on hole four.

Whizbangers Have Strong Night

Was this week two or week four. I'm confused after the late start and the rain out last week. Either way, tonight was a cool but clear and comfortable night for golf after the rain washed out last weeks round.

The Whizbangers obviously enjoyed the conditions as they turned in a strong effort and posted the new Team Low Gross with an 88.

They also took the six points up for grabs in their match. Other teams taking all six points in their matches were the Hackers, Dubbers, Southpaws and Bogies who upset the Rolling Stones. The Fat Shafts took four points from the KGB who earned two.

Len Bosma had a strong individual effort tonight as he set the new low for Individual Low Gross by shooting a 27.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Coady MacGillvary on hole #2 while Brian Moelker saved his best shot for the last hole to grab closest on hole #11. The 50/50 winner was Jim Rogers.
