St.Denis Hot Again

When you're hot, you're hot and for Tom St.Denis, he's on fire when it comes to the Closest to the Pin holes. For the third straight week Tom walked away with a share of the pot by landing his ball closest on hole #8. Scott Reilly was dialed in and earned the honour on hole #17.

If you forgot your bug spray you were extra busy during tonight's round swatting the pesky mosquitoes between or even during your shots.

For the first time in a long time there was a forfeit as the Rolling Stones were unable to field a team which resulted in the Fivesome being awarded all six points. Also taking six were the Dubbers, CCCP, Wedgers and Fat Shafts. The Southpaws earned five points while a single point went to the Hackers.

Paul Scobie shot the Low round of the evening with a 29. Tom St.Denis and Andy Koetstra each shot 30. No teams came close to challenging the Team Low Gross. Marty MacDonald  was the 50/50 winner this week.

Shutouts Galore

We were blessed with another beautiful night for golf. The sun was shining, the shorts were on for some but we won't talk about the pesky mosquitoes.

The perfect conditions helped many to post some very impressive scores.

Both Rick Dean and Kyle Wilkinson shot even par 27 and now share the Individual Low Gross lead.

It was all or nothing when it came time to add up the scores for the night. All six matches were sweeps as the Fat Shafts, Whizbangers, KGB, CCCP, Rolling Stones and Southpaws took all six points up for grabs

For the second week in a row Tom St.Denis took a Closest to the Pin prize by sticking it tight on hole #16. Kevin Wadsworth's first shot of the night on hole #7 finished just over a foot away to take the honour on the front nine. Dave Horner was the 50/50 winner this week.

New Team Low Gross

While driving to the golf course tonight I wasn't sure if we would be lucky enough to get our night in but fortunately the thunderstorms didn't develop and we were able to play a storm free round.

The KGB were the hottest team on this evening as they posted a team score of 93, good enough to take over sole possession of the Team Low Gross spot.

Jim Bruce tees off on Hole 14.

Nice shooting guys. The Low round of the night was turned in by Kyle Wilkinson who shot a two over par 29.

The first place Fat Shafts were one of four teams to sweep all six points in their matches. The Dubbers, Rolling Stones and Whizbangers also blanked their opponents. The KGB came close earning five points while the Wedgers took four from the Latecomers who settled for two points. The Hackers finished the night with a single point.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Tom St.Denis on hole #6 and Ralph Lambert on hole #15. Eric Korver was the 50/50 winner this week.

I Didn't Mean To Bug Ya

After all of the wet weather we've been getting I don't think anyone was surprised by the number of flying annoyances we had to deal with tonight. However, judging by some of the scores, they didn't appear to bother everyone.

All but two matches this evening were very tight for points. Only the Fat Shafts and CCCP swept all six points. The Southpaws and Hackers  earned five points while the Latecomers and Wedgers each took four points.

Two points went to the Fivesome and Whizbangers while single points were earned by the Bogies and Dubbers.

Once again this week, team scoring was on the high side as only the Fat Shafts and Southpaws posted sub-100 totals of 98.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Jim Bruce on hole #5 and Kevin Wadsworth on hole #14. Jordan Mercer was the 50/50 winner this week.

Season Heats Up

The black flies and mosquitoes were plentiful but nobody seemed to care too much because thankfully we had some warmer weather finally. But judging by the scores, the temperature was the only thing that was hot.

Four of the six matches tonight swept all of the available points as the KGB, Dubbers, Latecomers and Rolling Stones each earned six points. The CCCP took five points while the Fat Shafts managed four points against the Whizbangers who took two. The Southpaws tied the net in their match and picked up one point.

Scoring proved tough tonight as only two teams shot below 100. The KGB posted a 95 and the Fat Shafts turned in a 98.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Symen Korver on hole #4 and Al Wilkinson on hole #13. Tom St.Denis was the 50/50 winner this week.

Chilly But Dry Round

It was nice of mother nature to give us a break from the rain after the torrential storms moved through over the past week. The course was in pretty good shape for our round tonight despite the recent inclement weather. I think we all can agree it's well past time for the heat to arrive.

There were some close matches this evening but three teams managed to sweep their points as the Fat Shafts, KGB and Dubbers each took six. Four points each went to the Wedgers and CCCP. In the closest match of the evening the Rolling Stones and Whizbangers tied both the Gross and Net for three points each while two points were earned by the Southpaws and Hackers.

Kim Defosse hit the stick on hole #3 and earned the closest to the pin prize while Eric Mofina earned the honour on hole #12. The 50/50 winner this week was Dave Walker.

Nobody's Perfect

After only two weeks, no teams have a perfect start by sweeping all of their points. If this continues it could make for a very interesting season.

There were four teams that swept their matches this evening as the KGB, Southpaws, Bogies and Whizbangers all took six points.

Kim Defosse hit the ninth green with this tee shot.

The Wedgers and Latecomers came close earning five points each while the Fat Shafts and Hackers squeaked out single points for the night.

Rick Dean set the new low mark to beat for Individual Low Gross by shooting a 28. The Wedgers equalled the round by the KGB last week by shooting a 94 to grab a share of the Team Low Gross lead.

The closest to the pin winners were Kyle Wilkinson on hole #2 and Jordan Mercer on hole #11. The 50/50 winner was Thom Christmann.

Just a reminder to make sure when entering the closest to the pin pool that you add the correct amount.

2017 Season Commences

After a long winter and a late start thanks to Mother Nature, we finally kicked off the 2017 Men's League with an exceptional night weather wise.

Bob Donaldson tees off on #16.

Even most of the bugs failed to show up.

A special welcome to the new faces that have joined the fun this season and it was nice to see so many diehards back at it for another year.

Four teams started off strong by sweeping their matches. The Fat Shafts, Fivesome, Rolling Stones and CCCP all earned six points. The Dubbers and KGB each took four points while two points each went to the Latecomers and Whizbangers.

Andy Koetstra and Kyle Wilkinson each shot 29 to set the early target for Individual Low Gross. The Team Low Gross after night one was set by the KGB after shooting a solid round of 94.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Eric Korver on hole #1 and Andy Koetstra on hole #10. Rick Stuckless was the years first 50/50 winner.

Night One Cancelled

No Golf Tonight!!

It looks like our luck has run out early this year.

After zero rain outs last season we're starting off with one as tonight's first night of league play has been cancelled due to the inclement weather.

We'll try again next Wednesday night.

April 19th It Begins

Bundy and Denis get some early practice in on the course.

It's official!

The league will begin play on Wednesday April 19th at 6:00 p.m.

Please pass along the word to your fellow team mates if they haven't already been contacted by the team captain.

A rag tag group waits to tee off on hole #4.

The course is open now if you'd like to get out and get the rust off and play a round or two before the league starts.

Several members were already out golfing last Wednesday night (April 5th) for fun and the course was in good shape but a little damp which is to be expected at this time of the year.

So get your clubs and shoes out of storage and we'll see you on the 19th to start another year of fun.
