A Night of Sweeps

I don't know about the rest of you, but I am blaming the colder weather for my less than impressive play during tonight's round of golf.

Andy Koetstra leaves his par putt on 12 just short.

Judging by some of the other scores I saw, I wasn't the only one affected. We have to blame something don't we?

It was feast or famine with the matches tonight as all six of them were clean sweeps. The Hackers, Dubbers, Whizbangers, Southpaws, Rolling Stones and Fat Shafts all took six points. 

The low score for the night was turned in by Peter Hughes with a 29. The Southpaws took over the Team Low Gross with a 94, one shot better than the mark set last week by the Fat Shafts.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Jim Conley on hole #2 and Rick Dean on hole #11. The 50/50 winner was Jim Lidster.

Good Start to the Season

There was no rain or snow, so right off the bat we started men's league with weather we couldn't complain about.

Lyle Williams tees off on 16.

Add to that the fact there were no bugs and the course was dry and we couldn't have asked for a better first night of league play.

It was nice to see some new faces out tonight and good to see the familiar ones as well after a long winter. 

The season began with some impressive play including Denis Schick who set the bar for Individual Low Gross by turning in an impressive even par score of 27. The Closest to the Pin winners were Eric Korver on hole #1 while Tim Donaldson stuck his tee shot close on hole #10. Donaldson was also the years first winner of the 50/50.

In team play, the Whizbangers and Southpaws took all six points in their matches while the Dubbers grabbed five. The Fivesome, Wedgers and Fat Shafts each took four points. The Latecomers, Bogies and Rolling Stones earned two points each while a single point went to the KGB.

The Team Low Gross was turned in by the Fat Shafts with a 95.


 

We Have A Start Date

I have been informed that if the weather finally cooperates we will start the league on Wednesday April 20th at 6pm.

Lets keep our fingers crossed that we get some warmer weather by then and can get another season underway.

Even with all of our rust from the long winter, I hope nobody pulls an Ernie Els and six putts any greens that night.

See you then!

Are You Getting The Itch?

 With the mild winter behind us and the arrival of April, it won't be long before we can clean off the clubs and get back out on the course.

I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable time off from our favourite sport the last six months or so.

No word yet on a possible start date for the league but as soon as I know of a confirmed date I'll be sure to post it here.

Looking forward to seeing everyone back on the links again before too long.
