2016 Playoffs - Final Round

What a way to wrap up a year that never saw one rain out or lost night due to bad weather. Typical of the summer of 2016, we had probably one of, if not the hottest night for a final round ever

Storms threatened and the forecast was ominous so we shortened the number of holes we'd play and it worked in our favour as the thunderstorms and tornado watches eventually showed up after we finished.

The "A" Flight champs were the Southpaws who nearly let a large lead slip away but held on for a six stroke victory over the Rolling Stones. The Fat Shafts came in third and were ten shots off the pace while the KGB came fourth.

Over in the "B" Flight, the Dubbers had a strong final round to increase their lead and cruise to a 15 stroke margin of victory over the Whizbangers. The Bogies took third place while the Hackers came last in the flight.

The "C" Flight was a runaway contest from start to finish as the Wedgers cruised to the win finishing 23 strokes ahead of the second place Latecomers. The Fivesome were third and the CCCP trailed in fourth spot.

Congratulations to all of the closest to the pin winners who were too numerous to mention and also the prize winners.

Despite the rain, a good chunk of change was raised during the putting contest to be donated towards the Terry Fox foundation and the annual golf tournament at the course this coming October.

A special thanks to Steve Powell for all of his hard work once again this season to make not only today run smoothly but for all of his efforts all season long.

Thanks also to Tom and Alida St.Denis for another wonderful year of golf. Despite the intense heat and dry conditions this summer the course continued to be in great shape and a constant challenge. Our thanks to Debbie Stewart for assisting Alida on this final night with making sure everyone was fed and taken care of.

Below you will find the final totals for the playoffs along with some photos and videos I took during the day. I hope you enjoy them and I hope you enjoyed the league blog again this season. If all goes well, I'll be back to do it again next season. Have a great winter and we'll see you again in the Spring.
