For the first time this season there is a different team at the top of the league standings as the KGB took all six points in their match to pass the Fat Shafts who failed to earn a single point tonight in their match against the Whizbangers. The KGB now sit in first with a five point lead and a total of 73 points.
One member of the Fat Shafts had a very good round. Andy Koetstra, who sat out for his team, was picked up by the Rolling Stones and shot a one under par round of 26. This was good enough to give him sole possession of the Individual Low Gross lead heading into August. Andy also won a Closest to the Pin prize by sticking his tee shot on hole #6 within a foot of the hole.
The Latecomers joined the KGB and Whizbangers as the only other team to take all six points in their match. The Rolling Stones, Southpaws and Dubbers all earned four points while the Wedgers, Hackers and CCCP each took two points.
The other Closest to the Pin winner tonight was Mike Lessard on hole #15 while Bob Donaldson was this weeks 50/50 winner.

Time To Make Moves
Believe it or not, the end of the season is quickly approaching and time is running out for teams to make their moves to get to the playoff positions they hope to be in at the end.

The KGB, Fat Shafts and Whizbangers all took six points in their rounds for the evening. Five points were earned by the Dubbers and Southpaws while the Hackers grabbed four points. The CCCP took two points while single points went to the Bogies and Wedgers.
The low score for the evening was turned in by Tim Donaldson with an even par round of 27. The Closest to the Pin winners were Rick Turtle on hole #5 and Denis Schick on hole #14. Benny Brock was the 50/50 winner.

On A Hot Summer Night
Boy oh boy did summer finally show up tonight. It was a hot, humid, sticky and buggy round for sure but it's nice to see more seasonal golfing conditions for a change.
The Fat Shafts took six points against the Wedgers to keep their slim one point league lead over the KGB who took all six points when the Rolling Stones failed to field a team. The Dubbers also took six points to move into fourth place.
Also taking six points tonight were the Whizbangers, Hackers and Bogies. Sandy McLeod had the low round of the night shooting a 2-over-par score of 29.
The Closest to the Pin winners were Eric Mofina for the second week in a row on hole #4 and Andy Koetstra on hole #13. Randy Grills was the 50/50 winner this week.

Hughes Aces Sixteen
It was a race to beat the weather tonight but for most of us it was a race we lost as we had to finish the last couple of holes in the rain. Even the mosquitoes were taking cover under the umbrellas.
Congratulations to Peter Hughes who didn't let the threat of rain keep him from getting a hole-in-one.
Peter used a Gap Wedge to ace the 108 yard sixteenth hole.
The battle for first overall continues to tighten as the Fat Shafts hold a slim one point lead over the surging KGB squad. The Fat Shafts took five points tonight while the KGB swept all six points in their match against the Whizbangers.
The idea of possibly getting damp kept several golfers away and that led to some forfeits. Both the Southpaws and CCCP were given six points each as the Rolling Stones and Wedgers failed to have enough players. The Dubbers also earned six points while the Bogies took four. The Fivesome managed two points while the Hackers posted a single point.
The low rounds of the evening were turned in by Tim Donaldson and Rick Dean who both shot a 29. Donaldson also earned Closest to the Pin honours on hole #3 while Eric Mofina stuck his tee shot close on hole #12. Thom Christmann was the 50/50 winner this week.

Fat Shafts First to 50
As we settle into the heart of the season the Fat Shafts are the first team to surpass 50 points this year despite only taking two points in their match tonight against the impressive CCCP team who took four points.
The evening was perfect weather wise as it finally felt like a summer night of golf.
The warm weather and calm air did little however to help the scoring as not one team could post a sub-100 total.
Just three teams swept their matches as the Hackers, KGB and Rolling Stones all eared six points. The Dubbers and Latecomers grabbed four points while the Whizbangers and Fivesome took two points each.
Andy Koetstra shot even par 27 for the low round of the night and moved into a four way tie for the Individual Low Gross.
The Closest to the Pin winners were Peter Hughes on hole #2 and Kyle Wilkinson on hole #11. Mark Kennedy was the 50/50 winner this week.

After seeing teams struggle to post low scores to start the season, tonight things improved a great deal with several posting totals in the 90's.
In the process, two teams posted scores of 92 as both the Fat Shafts and KGB are tied for the team low gross.
It's also getting crowded in the race for individual low gross as Tim Donaldson shot even par 27 to move into a tie with Kyle Wilkinson and Rick Dean. Other low scores tonight included a 28 by Steve Westlake and 29's by both Jerry Powell and Denis Schick.
It was a night of sweeps in the matches as the Fivesome, Southpaws, KGB, Rolling Stones, Fat Shafts and Wedgers all took six points.

Blues Prove Tough
Judging by the scores posted tonight, it seems the long blue tees combined with some breezy conditions, made for some less than stellar shooting tonight for many.
Even your humble blog host posted an epic score of which we will never speak of again.
By no means can we blame those scores on the course conditions as the greens were quick and looking in great shape. Hats off to Tom and the crew for their hard work during this damp Spring. But Summer is finally here and hopefully that will bring more sunshine and warmer temps.
In the evenings matches, the Fivesome, CCCP, Wedgers and Bogies all took six points. The Southpaws and KGB grabbed four each while the Latecomers and Fat Shafts managed two points.
The Closest to the Pin winners this week were Marsh Ferguson on hole #9 and Kevin Wadsworth on hole #18. Lyle Williams was this weeks 50/50 winner.

Ride For Dad Thanks
To the Wooler Wednesday Night Men's League. I would like to thank all the members for their support over the years for "The Ride For Dad" fight against prostate cancer.
The ride was in Ottawa on June 6th this year and there were 1600 riders. Donation numbers were not complete for this year but last year 1.3 million dollars was raised and over the 17 years of the ride over 24 million dollars has been raised.
With you generous help I was able to raise over $500 dollars this year to donate to the worthy cause. Thanks again for your help.

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.
