There may have been plenty of bugs but nobody could complain about the weather as we played our final 18 holes of the playoffs. Sunshine, clear skies and no wind meant perfect conditions as the teams started their final rounds.
The "A" Flight crowned a new champion this year as the Wedgers held off a determined KGB team for a four stroke victory.
In the "B" Flight, the Rolling Stones defended their title by a convincing margin of 12 strokes over their nearest competitor.
And in the "C" Flight the CCCP made up an 8 stroke deficit to start the day and edged the Bogies for top spot by only two strokes.
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 members 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 Alida and Tom St.Denis for another fun season. Thanks to Debbie Stewart for her help at the party following the round.
It was clear to see by the smiles, laughs, noise level and bruises that 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.

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.
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.

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.
