Not Much Change This Week

The standings saw very little change after our round tonight. With the regular season quickly approaching the end, the divisions continue to become a little clearer. The main reason for this is lack of movement as teams remain in the same positions.

The only change this week saw the Bogies take five points from the Rolling Stones and slipped one point ahead of the Fivesome for the last spot in the "B" Division. All other positions stayed the same.

Paul Reid shot a 27 which was good enough to move him into a tie for the Individual Low Gross with three other players.

The Closest to the Pin winners this week were Roger Bulman on hole #7 and Tom St.Denis on hole #16. The 50/50 winner this week was Jim Fiorini.

Aces-O-Plenty Lately

For the last two weeks the 16th hole has been more generous than usual as two golfers found the cup with their tee shots.

Last week Dan Jess of the Fat Shafts helped propel his team to take over the Team Low Gross (87) with his first Hole-in-One on 16. This week Kevin Wadsworth from the KGB followed up winning the Closest to the Pin prize on hole 15 with his ace on 16. Congratulations to both Dan and Wally.

With just five weeks remaining in the regular season the playoff picture is starting to become clearer and if teams are looking to make a move they'll need to do it sooner rather than later.

The other Closest to the Pin winner this week was Bill Hewson on Hole 6. The 50/50 winner was Glen Lonergan.

Toyne Has Good Night

Norm Toyne turned in the best round of the year so far and won some cash in process.

Toyne shot the low round of 27 or even par to take over lone possession of the Low Gross score. He also managed to win the closest to the pin prize on the back nine with an impressive shot on hole 14. The best shot on the front nine was turned in by Dave Reid on hole number 5.

The Wedgers team total of 91 moved them into a tie for Team Low Gross with the Southpaws. Barry Defosse won the 50/50 this week.

Sad News & Scores Improve

The sunny and cool weather continued which allowed for our members scores to continue to drop overall.

A quick look at the scores of those that counted showed an improvement as everyone continues to shake the winter rust off and steadily get back to the usual form.

There was no change at the top of the leader board as the Wedgers and Southpaws remain tied with a perfect 18 points each. The Whizbangers and Dubbers also remained solid to start the season with another strong week to remain in the top four.

Only two teams have yet to win a point this season but it's only a matter of time.

Paul Scobie's low score of 28 was good enough to move him into a tie for the Low Gross with Tim Donaldson and Norm Toyne. Andy Koetstra shot a 27 but was not counting this week for the Fat Shafts and was not eligible.

Scobie also had a good enough shot on hole 12 to take away the Closest to the Pin winnings on the back nine. Mark Kennedy was closest on the third hole to take the honours on the front nine.

Members also received some sad news as longtime Mens League and golf course member Lou Boudreau passed away earlier in the day. Lou was 77 and is survived by his wife of 52 years Peggy and his children. Lou loved to golf and we will miss seeing him walking the course.

Wet Week Two

The rain threatened to make the second week of the league a damp and miserable one but luckily the weather co-operated in the end. It was cool but the round was able to be completed as we continue to settle back in to the regular Wednesday night routine.

Only two teams remain perfect after two weeks as the Wedgers and South Paws upped their total points to 12. The Dubbers and Whizbangers continued their strong early play improving to 11 points each and a tie for third. Three teams have yet to register a point.

The low round of the week was turned in by Norm Toyne and his 28 was good enough to move him into a tie with Tim Donaldson for the lead in the race for Low Gross.

See you next Wednesday night!
