A Wednesday Wash Out

For those of you who showed up on Wednesday night, you know first hand that this weeks golf was cancelled due to inclement weather.

Heavy rain and lightning caused a half hour delay before it was finally decided that we would cancel the matches for the evening and try again next Wednesday night.

For those of you who paid for the Closest To The Pin competition it is my understanding that there will be two CTTP holes on each nine next week. Those who didn't have their money in will pay double next week to be included.

This is the first time I can recall a Mens League night being cancelled due to the weather although I'm sure it has happened in the past at some point. We've golfed in some pretty heavy rain before but the lightning is nothing to play with so it was best to ere on the side of caution.

See you all next week!

Happy Canada Day

To all of our league members and their families, we hope you have a wonderful and relaxing Canada Day.

Happy Birthday to us all!

Hole-in-One For Walker

Congratulations to Dave Walker of the Latecomers who earned his first ever ace on Wednesday night.

Using a 56-degree wedge, he sank his tee shot on the 102 yard 5th hole.

Joining Walker was his team-mate Don Muldoon and from the Hackers, Mick Berridge and Don St.Denis.

It's the second hole-in-one for a member of our league in as many weeks and everyone will be wanting to golf with Don as he was also witness to that one.

Way to go Dave!

Adams Aces Eighteen

Congratulations to Mark Adams of the Hackers who recorded his second career hole-in-one.

Adams used a seven iron on the 18th hole from the white tees. The hole was hidden from view on the tee and after searching for his ball he finally looked in the cup and was thrilled to find it nestled in the bottom of the cup.

Also golfing in the group and witnessing the ace were Don St.Denis, Lyle Williams and Mark Kennedy.

As a bonus, the 18th hole was also one of the Closest to the Pin holes for the night.

Stormy Weather Advice

This has been an unusually stormy start to the golf season and when we head out on the course, safety should be our first concern.

According to the USGA there are some things to remember when the bad weather approaches.

AVOID
- Solitary Trees
- Small rain or sun shelters
- Large open areas
- Wet areas
- Elevated areas
- All metal objects including: golf clubs, golf carts, fences, electrical and maintenance machinery and power lines

SEEK
- Large permanent building
- Fully enclosed metal vehicle: car, truck or van
- Lowest elevation areas

If sudden, close-in lightning does not permit evacuation to a safer place, crouch into a baseball catchers type position with feet together and hands on knees.

Any player has the right to stop play if they think lightning threatens them or they feel unsafe even if no signal from the clubhouse has sounded. Safety first.

Happy Father's Day

To all of the Dad's in our league, here's hoping you have a relaxing and Happy Father's Day today. Mulligan's are allowed this day if you get a chance to go golfing. Have a great day!

Tiger Being Tiger

Whether you love him or hate him....or just hate how much the announcers talk about him, you can't deny the talent Tiger Woods has when it comes to golf.

He has a flare for the dramatics and Round 3 of the 2008 U.S. Open was no exception.

Here now are a few of his highlights on the back nine on Saturday.

18 Holes For Three Weeks

Hey guys, just a reminder to everyone that starting tonight June 11th we will have three straight weeks of playing 18 holes instead of the usual nine.

While some of you might think the start time will change, that isn't the case. We will be teeing off at the usual 6:00pm tee time and the round should last about 3 hours.

Don't forget your bug spray to ward off the mosquitoes and black flies.

League Begins Finally

Thanks to mother nature we didn't start on the date we'd hoped but another season of Men's League is finally underway.

It is our hope to keep this site as up to date as possible and to provide a quick online source where you can get any information league members may need.

League schedules are available at the golf course and we'll also keep the schedule updated here as well.

Have a great year guys and hit them straight.

League Starts Wednesday

The course is open and the league begins on Wednesday night April 23rd.

I haven't seen a schedule yet but I was out and played nine holes on Friday night and other than being a little damp in spots, the course looks good. There was just a bit of snow left in the woods on hole number 5

See you there.
