2015 Playoffs - Final Eighteen (Nine)

Our luck finally ran out. After a season of amazing weather on Wednesday nights, our final round and party were met with rainy and cold conditions.
A pre-game beverage and chat.
Some of the long time members couldn't recall ever having a final day like the one we had today but at least we were still able to play some golf, enjoy another very tasty meal and share some good conversations one final time this season.


Here is a final look at how the playoffs wrapped up on this day. Our final 18 holes had to be shortened to a final nine holes thanks to mother nature.

In the "A" Division, the Southpaws claimed the title after posting a round of 87 for total of 270. That was good enough for a 19 stroke margin of victory over the second place Rolling Stones who shot 105 today and a total of 289 overall. The Fat Shafts turned in a round of 100 to finish four shots back of second with a 293 total. Finishing in fourth were the Dubbers who had a round of 107 and total of 305.

Over in the "B" Division the Wedgers easily held on to their lead to coast to the win. They shot 100 even for a three round total of 279. Moving up to second on the final day were the Whizbangers who shot 92 for a total of 291. Five shots behind them with a score of 296 were was the KGB who had a 103 today. The Fivesome were well back in fourth spot scoring a 119 round and a final total of 322.

The "C" Division was also won by a significant margin. The Bogies ran away with it by posting a 92 today and had a three round total of 288. This was good for a 17 stroke victory over the second place Hackers who shot 99 today and 305 overall. The third place team was the Latecomers shooting 101 in the rain and a 312 total which was two shots better than the CCCP who finished fourth with a total of 314 after turning in a round of 106 for their final round.

Despite the less than ideal conditions there were some good scores posted today. The low round was shared by Tim Donaldson, Andy Koetstra, Denis Schick and Paul Reid who all shot two over par 29. The most honest golfer of the day was Scott Reilly.

There were a total of 14 Closest to the Pin prizes up for grabs. The winners were:
Hole 1: Denis Schick
Hole 2: Steve Westlake
Hole 3: Denis Schick
Hole 4: Dave Walker
Hole 5: Terry Hore
Hole 6: Norm Toyne
Hole 7: Coady MacGillvary
Hole 8: Frank Cusson
Hole 9: Thom Christmann
Hole 10: Mark Kennedy
Hole 11: Paul Scobie
Hole 12: Nick Vangemeren
Hole 17: Tim Donaldson
Hole 18: Mark Kennedy

As always, a special thanks goes out to Steve Powell for all of his hard work, not only for this day but for the entire season.
Watching Jim's tee shot on 10.
Our thanks to Tom and Alida St. Denis for another fun year and excellent course conditions. Also thanks to Debbie Stewart for her assistance today as well. I would also like to pass along my thanks to those of you who took the time to visit the blog this season and especially those who allowed me to post photos and videos of them. If all goes well, I'll be back to do it again next season.


Don't forget, as long as we're able to, we will still be golfing on Wednesday evening and everyone is invited to come out and take part in the scrambles and fun. If we don't see you, have a great safe and happy off season and we look forward to seeing you again next Spring.

2015 Playoffs - Second Nine

After a scorcher of a round last week, I don’t think anyone was complaining about the temperatures we were blessed with for week two of the playoffs and the second nine holes from the white tees.

Andy Koetstra of the Fat Shafts posted the low round for the evening by shooting a 26.

In the “A” Division, as most expected, it remains a two team race for the title after 18 holes. The Southpaws hold a slim one stroke lead over the Rolling Stones after shooting an 89 tonight and a total of 183. The Stones and Fat Shafts both shot 90 while the Dubbers posted a 101.The Stones have a total of 184 while the Fat Shafts jumped into third, 10 shots off the pace with an 18 hole score of 193. The Dubbers are five strokes back in fourth with 198.

Barring a major collapse on Saturday, the Wedgers appear poised for an easy victory in the “B” Division. Their 90 for the evening leaves them with an 18 hole total of 179, best among all teams and 14 strokes ahead of the KGB with 193 after they played to a 97 tonight. The Whizbangers turned in a round of 95 to remain within six strokes of second place. The Fivesome, who shot 104, dropped to fourth place with a total of 203.

Over on the “C” flight, the Bogies continue to lead after 18 holes. They shot 97 this evening and have a team total of 196 heading into the final day. The Hackers, who shot 101, are within striking distance just 10 strokes behind. The CCCP had the high total for the night shooting 108 which dropped them into third place with a total of 208. Meanwhile the Latecomers shot a 106 and fell to fourth with a total of 211.

There were eight more Closest to the Pin holes to shoot for this evening with four on the front and four on the back nine. The winners were:

Hole #3: Symen Korver

Hole #4: Tom St. Denis
Hole #5: Nick Vangemeren
Hole #6: Andy Koetstra
Hole #12: Frank Cusson
Hole #13: Kevin Wadsworth
Hole #14: Steve Westlake
Hole #15: Denis Schick

2015 Playoffs - First Nine

It was a hot night on the old links as we kicked off the 2015 league playoffs and for one particular golfer, the night was even warmer.

Norm Toyne helped his Wedgers team to a lead in the “B” Division by shooting an impressive three under par round of 24. That score combined with the rest of the team produced the low total of the night with an 89. The KGB sit seven shots back with a 96. The Fivesome turned in a 99 while the Whizbangers shot 104.
 

In the “A” Division the scores were more average which will keep things relatively tight heading into round two next Wednesday. The Southpaws and Rolling Stones each posted scores of 94 while the Dubbers shot 97. The Fat Shafts had a less than impressive start but still remain within nine strokes of the lead after posting a 103.

Over on the “C” Division, the Bogies set the high mark by turning in the groups only sub 100 round by shooting a team total of 99. That score gives them a one stroke lead over the CCCP who played to a total of 100. The Latecomers and Hackers also had strong nights and sit six shots out of first after shooting 105 each.

There were eight Closest to the Pin holes to shoot for this evening with four on the front and four on the back nine. The winners were:


Hole #1: Paul Dicrescenzo
Hole #2: Randy Conley

Hole #3: Rick Dean
Hole #4: Jim Turner
Hole #10: Tim Donaldson
Hole #11: Al Wilkinson
Hole #17: Ralph Lampert
Hole #18: Mark Kennedy

Please note that the start time for the final 18 holes on September 12th has been changed to 2:30pm. This is 30 minutes earlier than normal. See you next Wednesday night.

Playoffs Are Set

It came down to the last night and in one case a single point but the regular season is complete and the playoffs are set to begin next week.

The "A" division teams were all known except for the final spot and the Fat Shafts leapfrogged the KGB tonight to grab fourth place by one point. That was the only real change that took place in determining where the teams are placed. The Southpaws claimed the regular season title for the fourth year in a row, edging out the Rolling Stones.

On this night, the CCCP, Dubbers, Southpaws, Rolling Stones and Fat Shafts all grabbed six points. The KGB took four points while the Latecomers took two points. The Closest to the Pin winners were Denis Schick on hole #1 and Eric Korver on hole #10. The 50/50 winner was Marty MacDonald.

Week one of the playoffs will start next Wednesday night followed by another nine holes the following Wednesday and then the 18 hole final on the Saturday that week beginning at 3pm.

Here are the playoff divisions:

"A" Flight
1. Southpaws
2. Rolling Stones
3. Dubbers
4. Fat Shafts

"B" Flight

2. Wedgers
3. Whizbangers

3. Hackers
4. CCCP

Okay, Now There's One Week Left

It has come to my attention that after tonight's round, we still have one week of regular season left. Last week I was given some wrong information from Andy Koetstra regarding this and that is what led to the confusion.
Andy asks for forgiveness.
Andy feels much shame for making this error and has promised me one beer as punishment and asked for forgiveness. So in fact, NOW we only have one more week remaining before the playoffs begin.


I'm short on time so I've updated the standings and you can do the math regarding potential playoff implications of the final week.

Tonight, there were three teams that swept their matches as the Bogies, Fivesome and Southpaws each grabbed six points. The Hackers, KGB and Fat Shafts all earned four points while the Latecomers, Rolling Stones and Wedgers took two points each.

The Closest to the Pin winners this week were Paul Reid on hole #9 and Mark Kennedy on hole #18. The 50/50 winner was Steve Powell. See you next week.

WARNING: The following videos are rated PG for strong language. Someone had a bad night on the course.

One More Week Before Playoffs

With only one more week of regular season rounds remaining, the playoff picture is clear for those teams at the top and bottom of the standings, however there is still room for change in the middle with one round left.

This week the Southpaws assured themselves of at least a share of first overall by taking six points from the Rolling Stones. The Dubbers sit firmly in third. The final spot in the "A" Division of the playoffs will be determined next week as five points separate the KGB, Fat Shafts, Wedgers and Whizbangers. One will be in while the remaining three will battle it out in the "B" Division. The final "B" Division spot is also unknown as four points separate the Fivesome and Bogies for that place in the standings.

During play this week, the Fat Shafts and Southpaws were the only teams to sweep their matches and take six points. The Wedgers, Dubbers and Whizbangers took five points each. The Bogies grabbed four points from the Fivesome who took two. Taking single points were the CCCP, Latecomers and KGB.

The Closest to the Pin  winners were Kyle Wilkinson on hole #8 and Benny Brock on hole #17. The 50/50 winner this week was Randy Conley.

Century Mark Hit

It's all even at the top of the standings as the Southpaws moved into a tie with the Rolling Stones tonight. Both teams also moved into triple digits with 100 points each.

The Dubbers are well back in third place while the KGB sit in fourth just six points ahead of the Wedgers and Fat Shafts.
Sharing an after round beverage and stories.
With time running out on the regular season, the chance for teams to make moves to improve playoff positions is dwindling.


On this night there were four teams that swept their matches as the Fat Shafts, Southpaws, Dubbers and Fivesome each grabbed six points. The Rolling Stones and Bogies each earned four points while the Hackers and Wedgers took two points.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Jimmy Rogers on hole #7 and Kyle Wilkinson on hole #16. The 50/50 winner this week was Coady MacGillivary.

Holy Heatwave Batman!

Far be it for me to complain about the heat but holy guacamole that was a scorcher tonight. Add in the local insects and it made for a tough round of golf.

The sauna-like conditions didn't affect Andy Koetstra as he came close to tying the Individual Low Gross. He missed his last putt for the tie but still posted an impressive even par round of 27.

Meanwhile in the evenings matches the Southpaws moved to within two points of the first place Rolling Stones after the Stones were shutout. Taking all six points in their rounds tonight were the Fat Shafts, KGB and Latecomers. The Wedgers earned five points while the Southpaws and Fivesome took four points each. The CCCP and Whizbangers grabbed a pair of points while a single point went to the Hackers.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Jim Turner on hole #6 while Don Muldoon stuck it tight on hole #15. The 50/50 winner was Kory Hietala.

Stones Nearing Century Mark

It's still a battle at the top of the standings between the Rolling Stones and the Southpaws.
Kevin Wadsworth is dialed in on hole #16.
The Stones are closing in on the 100 points mark for the season while the Southpaws remain within striking distance of the lead should they falter.


Both teams continued their winning ways on Wednesday night as they swept their matches. Also taking all six points up for grabs were the Dubbers. The Whizbangers took five points, the Fivesome and KGB earned four, the Fat Shafts and Hackers took two while the Wedgers earned a single point.

Taking the Closest to the Pin honours tonight were Jim Conley on hole #5 and Kyle Wilkinson on hole #14. The 50/50 winner was David Swartz.

See you Wednesday night.

Something In The Air

It might have been the cooler temperatures or the pauses between swings to swat bugs but whatever it was, it was one of those nights for many where it just felt right. Several players, myself included, came close to getting aces while others were just hitting the ball well, Whatever the reason, lets hope it continues and everyone plays well down the stretch.

On this evening, all but one match was a sweep. Taking all six points up for grabs were the Fat Shafts, Rolling Stones, Southpaws, KGB and Whizbangers. The Bogies earned four points while the Wedgers took two.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Ryan Cuculuzzi on hole #4 and Benny Brock on hole #13. The 50/50 winner this week was Peter Hughes.

Sorry no photos or videos again this week. I was in the zone and forgot.

Sixes Were Wild

Sorry I'm a little late with the update guys. I'm busy busy busy these days. But better late than never.

It was a beautiful night for golf this week. It was so nice in fact that I think every mosquito in Wooler decided to feast on the course like seniors at an early bird special buffet in Florida. I'm still scratching and hearing the buzzing in my ears.

In between swatting and swearing we were able to get in our round and on this night sixes were wild as every match was swept. I think that might be a first this season. Taking all six points up for grabs were the Fat Shafts, Rolling Stones, Wedgers, Southpaws, Hackers and Latecomers.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Mark Kennedy on hole #3 and Matt Couperus on hole #12. The 50/50 winner was Art Mansfield.

Big Points Night

After three weeks of playing for 12 points, next week we'll return to the usual six point matches.
A passing shower left a nice rainbow behind tonight.
For some teams that will be a welcome sight as other teams took full advantage of the double point rounds.


All but one of the matches tonight were sweeps as the mosquitoes didn't hurt some games even if they did leave their mark on a lot of us.

Taking all 12 points up for grabs were the Southpaws, Wedgers, Bogies, Dubbers and Rolling Stones. The KGB earned 10 points while the Hackers grabbed two.

The Closest to the Pin winners this week were Paul Scobie on hole #2 and on hole # 11 it was Peter Hughes. This weeks 50/50 winner was Tom St. Denis.

Reid Is Aces

It was a perfect evening for hitting the links and the scores showed it. Even your humble blog writer shot a 28 which means Tom must have funneled the greens to hole somehow.

The most impressive shot of the night came on hole #3 where Paul Reid's tee shot landed left of the flag and spun towards the hole and dropped into the cup for a hole-in-one.
Paul Reid pulls his hole-in-one out of the cup.
Nobody in the group saw it fall in although they were curious about why the group ahead of them was celebrating.


In the evenings matches, four teams took all the points up for grabs as the Whizbangers, Southpaws, Dubbers and KGB all earned 12 points. The Rolling Stones and Wedgers came close by taking 10 points each while the Fat Shafts and Fivesome grabbed two points.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Kyle Wilkinson on hole #1 and Kim Defosse won another closest to the pin on hole #10. The 50/50 winner this week was Jim Turner who we all hope is well on the road to recovery and will be back on the course again soon.

So Long Eighteens

After several years of debate it was finally decided that we would do away with the 18 hole nights and instead stick to all nine hole rounds from now on. 

With the need to make sure each team plays the other teams twice, the former 18 hole rounds will still count as double the points.
Denis Schick makes his putt on 15.
So tonight we were playing for 12 points for nine holes played. No word yet on whether the points will work the same next season on those nights.


On this night however, two teams were able to take full advantage of the extra points as the Dubbers and Rolling Stones took all 12 points up for grabs. The Southpaws and Whizbangers each earned 10 points. Eight points each went to the Fivesome and Latecomers. The KGB and Bogies took four points while the Fat Shafts and CCCP managed only two points each.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Kim Defossee on hole #9 and Ralph Lambert on hole #18. The 50/50 winner this week was Steve Westlake.

Once again a reminder that next week will be nine holes and not the scheduled 18 holes.

My apologies for the delay in getting this weeks update online.

A Damp Round

We had our doubts that we'd get the round in but the stormy weather held off just long enough to complete the round, although we did get a little damp in the process.
Watching for groups to come in from the storm.
As the thunder got closer our pace quickened and most groups managed to get in to the clubhouse before the heavy rain arrived.


It was a clean sweep again tonight in the matches as the Southpaws, Whizbangers, Fivesome, KGB, CCCP and Dubbers all took six points.

The Closest to the Pin winners this week were Benny Brock on hole #8 and and Paul Dicrescenzo on hole #17. The 50/50 winner was Roger Bulman.

Just a reminder that starting next week we play 18 holes for three weeks straight.



Thursday, June 4, 2015

Stones Lower Low Team Gross

Other than a few annoying bugs we couldn't have asked for better conditions to golf in tonight and the scores reflected that.
Matt Knell aims for the first hole.

The Rolling Stones turned in a very impressive round and took over the Team Low Gross lead by shooting a very impressive combined score of 82. Well done guys!

The low scores of the evening were shot by Matt Couperus, Kyle Wilkinson and Andy Koetstra who all shot even par 27.

It was also a night of clean sweeps in the team matches as no points were split. The Fat Shafts, Rolling Stones, Southpaws, Bogies, Fivesome and Latecomers all took six points.

The Closest to the Pin winners this week were Tom St. Denis on hole #7 and Paul Reid on hole #16. Kyle Wilkinson was the 50/50 winner this week.

Scores Must Be Entered After Matches

 Just a reminder to everyone that someone from either team in each match for the night must record the scores on the official league points sheet. 

You must enter the scores for the players counting and tally the totals to determine the points for the match. It is not up to Steve Powell, Alida or anyone else to do this for you. We had a problem with this happening just this past week where neither team had anyone enter the scores. If you don't know how to do it, please ask someone for help. It isn't hard to do and only requires simple math.

Thanks for your cooperation with this matter guys. See you Wednesday night.

Thursday, May 28, 2015

Stones Move Into First

The scores were a bit higher overall tonight however that didn't stop the Rolling Stones from taking advantage of their head to head match up against the Southpaws. The Stones moved into the first place all alone as they swept the match. This should be an interesting battle to watch all season.

The rest of the teams near the top of the standings continue to put up good scores and grab points making for a very tight leader board at this point in the season.
Dave Wharry tees off on Hole 12.
Just six points separate seventh spot from the second place spot.


In the matches for the evening, every group was all or nothing as the Dubbers, Fat Shafts, KGB, Rolling Stones, Wedgers, Bogies and Fivesome took six points. The low team gross for the evening was turned in by the Dubbers and KGB who each shot 94. Three players shot under 30 this week as Jerry Powell, Steve Guindon and Mark Lafee each posted a 29.

The Closest to the Pin winners this week were Mike Morey on hole #6 and Mark Kennedy on hole #15. The 50/50 winner was Dave Wharry.

Everyone's On The Board

What a difference a week makes.

The Southpaws who had yet to give up a single point this season finally cracked as the KGB were up to the challenge grabbing four points from the lefties.
Art Mansfield reacts to just missing his putt.
At the same time, the previously pointless Hackers changed that this week as well by turning in an impressive round.


Only three teams this week swept all the points in their matches as the Hackers, Fivesome and Fat Shafts earned six points each. The KGB, Rolling Stones and Whizbangers each earned four points while the Southpaws and Dubbers took two points each. The low team gross for the night was 92, shot by the Rolling Stones. Paul Dicrescenzo and Al Wilkinson turned in the lowest rounds of the night as they both shot one over par 28.

The Closest to the Pin winners this week were Jerry Powell on hole #5 and Andy Koetstra on hole #14. The 50/50 winner was Art Mansfield.

Southpaws Remain Perfect

Four weeks into another season and the Southpaws remain the only team without a blemish to their record for the fourth straight week they took all six points in their match and have yet to give up a point to their opponents. The Rolling Stones are nearly perfect having lost only two points so far this season. On the opposite end of the standings, the Hackers are the lone team yet to register a point but there's lots of opportunity to change that yet to come.

It was a cool and breezy night which might have had some impact on the scores being a bit higher than normal for some but Tim Donaldson and Al Wilkinson still managed to turn in impressive rounds with each of them shooting a one over par 28. The low team gross for the night was the Southpaws with a 90.

It was another night of all or nothing for the matches as the Southpaws, Dubbers, Rolling Stones, Wedgers and Bogies all took six points. The CCCP grabbed four points while the Fivesome nabbed two.

The Closest to the Pin winners on the evening were Peter Hughes on hole #4 and Coady MacGillivary on hole #13. The 50/50 winner this week was Randy Conley.

Par Round for Koetstra

Andy Koetstra shot the low round of the night with an even par 27 to help lead his Fat Shafts team to one of their more impressive nights in some time.
Lyle Williams tees off on hole #4.
The Fat Shafts also produced the low Team Gross for the evening by turning in an 88. That was still three shots off Southpaws low round of the year as they hold the lead with an 85.


Lyle Williams came within inches of a hole in one on hole #3 but that was good enough to earn him the Closest to the Pin on the front nine. Marty MacDonald tucked it closest on the back nine with a good shot on hole #12. The 50/50 was won this week by Bill Clapp.

It was another feast or famine night in the matches. The Fat Shafts, Southpaws, Fivesome, Dubbers and Whizbangers all took six points. The earned four points while the Bogies took two.

Defosse Off To Good Start

After some miserable weather to start the season last week, we were all much happier to see an exact opposite this week with sunshine, warmth and calm conditions.
Dave Walker tees off on the ninth hole.
Hopefully it helped to give everyone better results in their game.


Kim Defosse has his swing down when it counts to start the season. For the second week in a row he took home a Closest to the Pin prize as he stuck his tee shot tight on hole #2. Jim Turner was tops on the back nine taking the honours on hole #11. For the second week in a row the 50/50 prize went to a member of the Fat Shafts as Lyle Williams had his name drawn tonight.

It was almost an all or nothing night for points as five of the six matches were swept.
Art Mansfield miss his putt left on hole #4.
The Wedgers, Southpaws, Latecomers, Rolling Stones and Whizbangers all took six points. The KGB earned four while the Dubbers grabbed two points.


There were no changes in the lead for Individual and Team Low Gross spots however Nick VanGeveren, Tim Donaldson and Kyle Wilkinson all turned in impressive rounds of 29 each.

Fair Weather Golfers Be Warned

That might have been one of the most miserable opening nights of Men's League in recent memory as far as the weather was concerned. But the cold, rainy and windy conditions couldn't keep most of the golfers from striking out and getting the first round of the season in the books.

Paul Reid come up a little short with this putt.
Despite the adverse conditions some impressive rounds were posted including the early leader for Individual Low Gross, Nick VanGemeren who shot a 26 to set the bar high right off the bat. The Team Low Gross was turned in by the Southpaws with an 85.

Four teams swept the points up for grabs in their matches as the Fat Shafts, Southpaws, Rolling Stones and Whizbangers took six points each. The Latecomers came close with five points and the KGB earned four points. The Wedgers took two points and the single point went to CCCP.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Nick VanGemeren on hole #1 and Kim Defosse on hole #10.
Carl Troke leaves his birdie attempt short on 17.
Dave Reid was the first 50/50 winner of the season.


See you next Wednesday evening when we'll do it all again, and hopefully in some better weather conditions.

Updates Will Be Delayed

Unlike previous seasons the updates to the blog may take some time to show up and could possibly be a day or two. 

Due to my current work schedule I won't be able to stick around and wait for teams to fill out the points sheet. Alida has said she'd be kind enough to email me the results at her earliest convenience which I greatly appreciate. 

As soon as I can get in front of a proper computer I will post the updates and any photos from the evenings round. 

Thanks for your patience guys. Have a good season!

Let the 2015 Season Begin

I just got off the phone with Steve Powell and have been told the course is open and we are ready to get things going.

This coming Wednesday (April 16th) will be a Fun Night and not actual league play. It's a chance to come out and get the rust off your swing and see the familiar faces and perhaps some new ones as well. It will just be a fun round of golf.

The first official round of league play will take place on Wednesday April 22nd beginning at the usual 6pm shotgun start time. Points will start counting that night.

Lets all hope this warmer weather finally holds and we can put that long cold winter behind us. See you on the course.

Spring Arrives, Snow Still Here

It has been a long, cold, windy, snowy and miserable winter. Even longer if you're a Leafs fan.

Spring has officially arrived and we're getting closer to that time when we can pull the golf clubs out of storage and get them ready for another season of hitting the links.

Obviously how soon we start the league this year will depend on Mother Nature but as soon as I hear anything I will be sure to post it here.

In the meantime, I hope everyone had a safe winter and we'll see you on the course soon.
