Like He Planned It

This hole in one at the 2009 Canadian Open is worth seeing one more time.

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.

No Update Yet

Hi guys,

Sorry for the lack of an update this week to the standings and so forth. I missed golf this past Wednesday night and haven't had a chance yet to get the updated standings or to see if anything else interesting took place.

Once I get the information I will update the site.

Thanks and see you Wednesday.

Returning To Normal

After four straight weeks of playing 18-hole rounds, the league returned to the usual nine hole match tonight which meant a quicker finish and return to the clubhouse for social time.

The skies were threatening to begin the round but the sun returned and made for a muggy evening of golf.

Five of the six matches were clean sweeps as the Bogies, Wedgers, Southpaws, KGB and Rolling Stones each took six points.

Now into the second half of the season, points become even more important as teams battle for playoff positions.

Paul Scobie's tee shot on hole number four was accurate enough to win the Closest to the Pin prize on the front nine while Peter Hughes shot on hole 13 did the trick on the back nine. Mark Kennedy was the 50/50 winner this week.

18 Holes - Week Three

It was a hot and humid evening as we played our last 18 hole match of the season. The temperature was pushing 30 degrees when we teed off but cooled off a bit as the sun set and the mosquitoes came out.

It was business as usual as teams continued to jockey for positions. The Dubbers and Wedgers were the only teams to take all 12 points in their matches for the night.

Nick Vangemeren had the low nine hole score of the night with a 27 which was good enough to move him into a three-way tie for the Low Individual Gross.

Mark Adams put one tight on hole #2 to take the Closest to the Pin prize on the front nine while Paul Dicrescenzo had the best shot on hole #11 for the honour. The 50/50 prize went to Sean Jarvis.

Just a reminder that next Wednesday night (July 1st) is the 18 hole team scramble. The cost is $10 per team and is the only chance you'll have to play a whole round with your team this season.

18 Holes - Week Two

Mother nature must have been on our side tonight as the rain stopped just before we teed off and started again shortly after we finished.

The Rolling Stones put together a solid night as they not only took 12 points from the Hackers but also posted the new Team Low Gross with an 88.

The rest of the standings remain relatively close with some teams making moves to improve their position. Most notable were the Whizbangers who leapfrogged two teams to move into fourth place and a potential spot in the "A" flight of the playoffs if they can hold or improve on that position.

It was a Father / Son sweep when it came to the closest to the pin prizes as Michael Walker took the honour on hole 1 and Dave Walker stuck it tight on hole 18. The 50/50 was won by Jim Conley and we also send our best wishes to Jim for a speedy recovery.

Just a reminder we have one more week of 18 holes of league play before our Team Scramble on July 1st.

PGA Top Shots

The first three months of the PGA season have produced some great shots and the folks at PGATOUR.COM have compiled their list of the Top 10 shots so far.

You may or may not agree with the order but some of these shots are pretty impressive.

18 Holes - Week One

Despite a recent sighting of a black bear on the golf course our members safely completed their first 18-hole round relatively unscathed.

Congratulations to Al Wilkinson who used a pitching wedge to ace the 143 yard ninth hole for the leagues first hole-in-one of the year. Nice shooting Al!

With a possible 12 points up for grabs and the standings being so close for some teams the 18 hole nights are an excellent chance to make a move. Seizing the opportunity tonight were the CCCP who blanked the Hackers and vaulted out of last place to move into eighth. The Fat Shafts were the only other team to take all 12 points at the expense of the Fivesome.

While the Wedgers continue to enjoy a comfortable lead, the battle for second is still anyone's race at this point with only three points separating second from fifth.

Sandy McLeod had a good nine hole round of even par 27 which moved him into a tie for the Individual Low Gross with Norm Toyne.

The closest to the pin winners for the night were Doug Stewart on hole #9 and Brian Moelker on hole #18. Dennis Schick took home the 50/50 winnings.

Wedgers Finally Falter

It took seven weeks but the Wedgers finally suffered their first blemish of the season as they dropped six points to the Fat Shafts Wednesday night. They had yet to lose a point through the first six weeks of the season but despite the loss they remain one point ahead of the Southpaws for first place. The Fat Shafts moved into sixth place by themselves.

At the same time, two teams near the bottom of the standings moved out of last as the Latecomers and Bogies each took six points. The Fivesome and KGB also took six points each to remain tied for fourth place while the Dubbers were shutout but remain in third spot by three points.

The closest to the pin winners for the week were Paul Reid on the front nine (hole 8) and Doug Stewart on the back nine (hole 17). The 50/50 winner was Jim Lidster.

Just a reminder that for the next several weeks we will be playing 18 holes. The start time will remain 6:00pm.
