2017 Playoffs - Final Round

After two straight years of rain shortened final rounds, we were treated to an absolutely perfect day for golf to complete the final 18 holes of playoffs and enjoy our wrap-up party.

In the "A" Flight it was a surprising, yet decisive victory for the Fat Shafts who went from third place and five shots back to finishing in first place by ten strokes. They were also the only team to finish below 400 total strokes overall. The Southpaws finished in second spot with the KGB three strokes back in third and the Dubbers rounded out the division finishing 23 strokes off the pace..

The Rolling Stones started the day with a 19 stroke cushion in the "B" Flight and held on for the win despite a charge by the Whizbangers who managed to pull within eight strokes for second place.

The Fivesome and CCCP struggled and fell further behind finishing in third and fourth respectively.

Over in the battle for "C" Flight it was close all day long but in the end the Hackers managed to hang on to their lead to take the victory and finished just three strokes ahead of the Wedgers. The Latecomers came in third spot while the Bogies were in fourth at the end of the day.

At this time I know all of you will join me giving thanks to some folks who made this day and our entire season a big success. Steve Powell is the driving force behind the running of the league and his endless efforts behind the scenes are greatly appreciated throughout the summer and culminating with a terrific finaly day. We also thank Tom and Alida St.Denis for providing us with a wonderful golf experience and excellent course conditions all season.

Thanks also to Debbie Stewart and Julia Bosma for assisting with the setup today and in tallying the final scores. And of course thanks once again to Steve Westlake and Kim Defosse for organizing and running our annual putting contests after our round again this year.

On a personal note, I want to thank everyone who approached me today and throughout the season to let me know how much they look forward to checking and reading the blog each week. It's nice to know the effort that I put into it is enjoyed by so many of you. I hope to continue the blog again next summer although I should mention that a change in the website and address may be coming before next season. Don't worry, I will post the details here if it happens so you can find the new site.

Don't forget that although the season has ended, everyone is invited to continue coming out on Wednesday nights as we switch to an informal best ball format for those not ready to put the clubs away just yet. If we don't see you out until the Spring, have a safe Winter and we'll see you in 2018.
