Despite a few showers early in the round, the final 18 holes of our Mens League Playoffs were enjoyed by everyone.
It was an overcast and cooler day and the few rain showers didn’t keep the teams from turning in some impressive scores for the day.
All 12 teams took part in the final round of competition for the year and the 2008 champions were crowned.
In the "A Division" the Southpaws nearly let their lead slip away but held on for a three stroke victory of the Wedgers.
In the "B Division", the Rolling Stones bested their competition handily and cruised to a convincing 11 stroke win ahead of the Dubbers.
And in the "C Division" the top honours came down to a tie breaker between the Bogies and the Fivesome with the Bogies getting the victory.
Several individuals also walked away with awards for closest to the pins and cleaners while many more won draw prizes. A delicious steak meal followed the awards and many more took part in the putting competitions late into the evening.
Special thanks to Steve Powell whose hard work made the days events run smoothly as always. Also thanks to Tom, Alida, Debbie & Jessie for their efforts as well during the day.
A good day was had by all as we wrapped up another year. Congratulations to all of the winners and to all league members have a safe winter and we'll see you in the Spring.

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!

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!
