2017 Playoffs - Round Two

What a difference one round made for several teams tonight as moves were made to set up an interesting final round on Saturday. Before we go any further, a reminder that the new start time for the final round of 18 holes will be 2:00pm, an hour earlier than previous years.

We must also congratulate Al Wilkinson who aced the 5th hole this evening.
Andy, Tom and Kory wait for Lyle to putt on 13.
Not surprisingly his hole-in-one also stood up for the closest to the pin on that hole. Well done Al.

In the "A" Flight the Southpaws took advantage of some mistakes made by their opponents to move up to first place with a two stroke lead over the KGB. The Fat Shafts are just five strokes off the pace while the Dubbers sit 13 strokes behind.

Over in the "B" Flight the Rolling Stones have a total of 198 and appear to be on cruise control. Unless they fail to show up on Saturday they should be able to hold their 19 stroke lead over the Fivesome. The Whizbangers are 20 off the pace while the CCCP need to make up a 21 stroke deficit on the weekend.

The battle for "C" Flight is a bit tighter as the Hackers sit atop the standings with a 208 total. That puts them four strokes ahead of the Wedgers and seven strokes up on the Latecomers. Sitting 15 strokes back are the Bogies.

Their were two golfers who shared the low round for the night as Al Wilkinson and Tim Donaldson both shot one over par 28. The rest of the closest to the pin winners were Kyle Wilkinson on holes 6 and 8. Al Wilkinson had another on hole 7. On the back nine the winners were Jim Conley, Andy Koetstra, Tom St.Denis and Don Muldoon.

Once again a reminder that the final round will take place on Saturday at 2:00pm with the meal and party to follow. I'm sure Steve Westlake and Kim Defosse will have the putting contest going as well. See you there and please don't drink and drive.

2017 Playoffs - Round One

Round one of the playoffs is in the books and some teams played well while others struggled but after only nine holes nobody is out of it.

In the "A" Flight the KGB and Fat Shafts share the lead having both shot 95. The Southpaws are only four shots back with a 99 while the Dubbers are seven shots off the lead after scoring a 102.

Steve Powell takes aim at Hole #8.
The Whizbangers sit seven shots back after shooting a 110 while a score of 114 leaves the Fivesome 11 strokes off the lead.

The low score of the night was turned in by Kyle Wilkinson with an even par 27. Several others posted sub-30 rounds for the night.

The closest to the pin winners were Tim Donaldson, Paul Reid, Tyler Donaldson, Marty McDonald, Kyle Wilkinson, Coady MacGillvary, Kim Defosse and Ian MacDonald.

Let The Playoffs Begin

With so many possible playoff scenarios heading into tonight's matches, the final standings were decided without the need for tie-breakers, coin flips or calculators.

When the dust settled on this final night of the regular season, the three playoff brackets were clearly defined heading into round one next Wednesday night.
Scott Reilly starts his round on hole 12.
The playoff flights are listed below.

On this night, three teams swept their matches as the KGB, Hackers and Rolling Stones took six points. Earning four points were the Fat Shafts, Southpaws and Latecomers while two points each went to the CCCP, Fivesome and Bogies. Tim Donaldson shot a round of 28 for the low score of the night.

The 50/50 was won by Dave Pemberton while the closest to the pin winners were Randy Conley on hole #9 and Andy Koetstra on hole #18. Andy's round of 26 this season held up to win the Individual Low Gross while the KGB won the Team Low Gross with their score of 88.

Playoffs will take place the next two Wednesday nights from the White tees and on Saturday September 9th we play the final 18 holes from the Blue tees followed by the wrap up party. Everyone think sunny thoughts.

KGB Move Into First

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.

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 Hughes all smiles after 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.

Team Low Gross Tie

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.
Jim Conley takes aim at hole #12.
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.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Jimmy Rodgers on hole #1 and Jim Turner on hole #10. Nick Defosse 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.

Down The Stretch We Come

The summer is flying by as we will soon head into August. That means we'll be down to the last weeks of regular season play before the Playoffs begin again and time is running out to earn the points needed to secure your place in each flight.

While the top three teams appear to have a lock on their "A" Flight positions, the KGB, Dubbers and Hackers can still battle it out for the last spot.
Rob Campbell takes aim at hole #16.
The Whizbangers also have time to move from their current "C" Flight position into the "B" Flight with some points down the home stretch.


The top three teams all swept their matches tonight with the Southpaws, Fat Shafts and Rolling Stones taking six points each. The Dubbers moved into a tie for fifth with the Hackers by taking five points along with the Latecomers. The Bogies earned four points while the Hackers took two points. Single points went to the Whizbangers and Fivesome.

Nick Vangemeren had the low round of the night shooting even par 27. The low team scores were shot by the Southpaws and Fat Shafts with 93 each. Vangemeren also took the Closet to the Pin prize on hole #6 while Jerry Powell had a terrific shot on hole #15. Tim Donaldson was this weeks 50/50 winner.

An Ace for Muldoon

I wasn't able to attend tonight's round but I was informed that Don Muldoon stepped up to the first hole and deposited his tee shot into the cup for what I believe is the first hole-in-one of the season for the league. I'm sure he had a wine or two following the round. Congratulations Don!

This was also the last round of double points for the year I believe which puts us half way through the season if you can believe it. Grabbing all 12 points in their matches were the Fat Shafts, Hackers, KGB, Rolling Stones and Southpaws. The CCCP took 8 points while four points went to the Latecomers.

The Team Low Gross lead is becoming a log jam as the Southpaws became the third team to shoot a low round of 88. Tim Donaldson had the low round of the night with a 26. Kyle Wilkinson continued his hot streak by earning his fourth Closest to the Pin prize in five weeks by putting one close on hole #11. Scott Reilly put his tee shot on hole #2 close for the honour on the front nine. This weeks 50/50 winner was Don St.Denis.

Brisk and Blustery Round


Mother Nature can have a sick sense of humour sometimes and tonight was one of those times. After dealing with hot and humid conditions recently, it was back to cool and windy golf weather tonight. I wish she’d pick a medium temperature and stick with it.

The strong winds made the round more challenging but that didn't stop some teams from turning in good performances. The standings continue to be rather sectioned off but that could change next week when we start our rounds of double points.

Five teams took all six points in their matches this evening. Sweeping their opponents were the Latecomers, Fat Shafts, KGB, Southpaws and Dubbers. The Hackers had a strong night taking five points from the Rolling Stones who earned a single point. The Fat Shafts came close to challenging for the Team Low Gross by shooting a 93 and were led by Andy Koetstra who had the low round for the night with a 29. 

Andy also took home a Closest to the Pin prize with a good shot on hole #8 while Bobby Richardson had the honours on the back nine on hole #17. Bob Donaldson was this weeks 50/50 winner.

Rick Dean Was Dialed In Tonight

After a slow start for many to the season, the cobwebs are starting to disappear and the lower scores are being posted. Rick Dean was turned in the lowest individual round of the young season tonight by shooting a one under par round of 26. Paul Reid also had an impressive even par round of 27 this evening as well.

It was almost another week of clean sweeps in the matches with the Fivesome, Southpaws, KGB, Rolling Stones and Wedgers all taking six points. The Fat Shafts earned four points while the Dubbers took two.

The Closest to the Pin winners tonight were Symen Korver on hole #3 with a very tight shot while Tyler Donaldson also put his tee shot close on hole #12. The 50/50 winner was Randy Conley.

A clerical error week one resulted in a missed low team score and the Team Low Gross being reported erroneously. The current leaders in this category are the Whizbangers with a score of 91. Sorry for the confusion.

Good Start to the Season

There was no rain or snow, so right off the bat we started men's league with weather we couldn't complain about.
Lyle Williams tees off on 16.
Add to that the fact there were no bugs and the course was dry and we couldn't have asked for a better first night of league play.

It was nice to see some new faces out tonight and good to see the familiar ones as well after a long winter. 

The season began with some impressive play including Denis Schick who set the bar for Individual Low Gross by turning in an impressive even par score of 27. The Closest to the Pin winners were Eric Korver on hole #1 while Tim Donaldson stuck his tee shot close on hole #10. Donaldson was also the years first winner of the 50/50.

In team play, the Whizbangers and Southpaws took all six points in their matches while the Dubbers grabbed five. The Fivesome, Wedgers and Fat Shafts each took four points. The Latecomers, Bogies and Rolling Stones earned two points each while a single point went to the KGB.

The Team Low Gross was turned in by the Fat Shafts with a 95.

2015 Playoffs - Final Eighteen (Nine)

Our luck finally ran out. After a season of amazing weather on Wednesday nights, our final round and party were met with rainy and cold conditions.
A pre-game beverage and chat.
Some of the long time members couldn't recall ever having a final day like the one we had today but at least we were still able to play some golf, enjoy another very tasty meal and share some good conversations one final time this season.


Here is a final look at how the playoffs wrapped up on this day. Our final 18 holes had to be shortened to a final nine holes thanks to mother nature.

In the "A" Division, the Southpaws claimed the title after posting a round of 87 for total of 270. That was good enough for a 19 stroke margin of victory over the second place Rolling Stones who shot 105 today and a total of 289 overall. The Fat Shafts turned in a round of 100 to finish four shots back of second with a 293 total. Finishing in fourth were the Dubbers who had a round of 107 and total of 305.

Over in the "B" Division the Wedgers easily held on to their lead to coast to the win. They shot 100 even for a three round total of 279. Moving up to second on the final day were the Whizbangers who shot 92 for a total of 291. Five shots behind them with a score of 296 were was the KGB who had a 103 today. The Fivesome were well back in fourth spot scoring a 119 round and a final total of 322.

The "C" Division was also won by a significant margin. The Bogies ran away with it by posting a 92 today and had a three round total of 288. This was good for a 17 stroke victory over the second place Hackers who shot 99 today and 305 overall. The third place team was the Latecomers shooting 101 in the rain and a 312 total which was two shots better than the CCCP who finished fourth with a total of 314 after turning in a round of 106 for their final round.

Despite the less than ideal conditions there were some good scores posted today. The low round was shared by Tim Donaldson, Andy Koetstra, Denis Schick and Paul Reid who all shot two over par 29. The most honest golfer of the day was Scott Reilly.

There were a total of 14 Closest to the Pin prizes up for grabs. The winners were:
Hole 1: Denis Schick
Hole 2: Steve Westlake
Hole 3: Denis Schick
Hole 4: Dave Walker
Hole 5: Terry Hore
Hole 6: Norm Toyne
Hole 7: Coady MacGillvary
Hole 8: Frank Cusson
Hole 9: Thom Christmann
Hole 10: Mark Kennedy
Hole 11: Paul Scobie
Hole 12: Nick Vangemeren
Hole 17: Tim Donaldson
Hole 18: Mark Kennedy

As always, a special thanks goes out to Steve Powell for all of his hard work, not only for this day but for the entire season.
Watching Jim's tee shot on 10.
Our thanks to Tom and Alida St. Denis for another fun year and excellent course conditions. Also thanks to Debbie Stewart for her assistance today as well. I would also like to pass along my thanks to those of you who took the time to visit the blog this season and especially those who allowed me to post photos and videos of them. If all goes well, I'll be back to do it again next season.


Don't forget, as long as we're able to, we will still be golfing on Wednesday evening and everyone is invited to come out and take part in the scrambles and fun. If we don't see you, have a great safe and happy off season and we look forward to seeing you again next Spring.

2015 Playoffs - First Nine

It was a hot night on the old links as we kicked off the 2015 league playoffs and for one particular golfer, the night was even warmer.

Norm Toyne helped his Wedgers team to a lead in the “B” Division by shooting an impressive three under par round of 24. That score combined with the rest of the team produced the low total of the night with an 89. The KGB sit seven shots back with a 96. The Fivesome turned in a 99 while the Whizbangers shot 104.
 

In the “A” Division the scores were more average which will keep things relatively tight heading into round two next Wednesday. The Southpaws and Rolling Stones each posted scores of 94 while the Dubbers shot 97. The Fat Shafts had a less than impressive start but still remain within nine strokes of the lead after posting a 103.

Over on the “C” Division, the Bogies set the high mark by turning in the groups only sub 100 round by shooting a team total of 99. That score gives them a one stroke lead over the CCCP who played to a total of 100. The Latecomers and Hackers also had strong nights and sit six shots out of first after shooting 105 each.

There were eight Closest to the Pin holes to shoot for this evening with four on the front and four on the back nine. The winners were:


Hole #1: Paul Dicrescenzo
Hole #2: Randy Conley

Hole #3: Rick Dean
Hole #4: Jim Turner
Hole #10: Tim Donaldson
Hole #11: Al Wilkinson
Hole #17: Ralph Lampert
Hole #18: Mark Kennedy

Southpaws Remain Perfect

Four weeks into another season and the Southpaws remain the only team without a blemish to their record for the fourth straight week they took all six points in their match and have yet to give up a point to their opponents. The Rolling Stones are nearly perfect having lost only two points so far this season. On the opposite end of the standings, the Hackers are the lone team yet to register a point but there's lots of opportunity to change that yet to come.

It was a cool and breezy night which might have had some impact on the scores being a bit higher than normal for some but Tim Donaldson and Al Wilkinson still managed to turn in impressive rounds with each of them shooting a one over par 28. The low team gross for the night was the Southpaws with a 90.

It was another night of all or nothing for the matches as the Southpaws, Dubbers, Rolling Stones, Wedgers and Bogies all took six points. The CCCP grabbed four points while the Fivesome nabbed two.

The Closest to the Pin winners on the evening were Peter Hughes on hole #4 and Coady MacGillivary on hole #13. The 50/50 winner this week was Randy Conley.

Defosse Off To Good Start

After some miserable weather to start the season last week, we were all much happier to see an exact opposite this week with sunshine, warmth and calm conditions.
Dave Walker tees off on the ninth hole.
Hopefully it helped to give everyone better results in their game.


Kim Defosse has his swing down when it counts to start the season. For the second week in a row he took home a Closest to the Pin prize as he stuck his tee shot tight on hole #2. Jim Turner was tops on the back nine taking the honours on hole #11. For the second week in a row the 50/50 prize went to a member of the Fat Shafts as Lyle Williams had his name drawn tonight.

It was almost an all or nothing night for points as five of the six matches were swept.
Art Mansfield miss his putt left on hole #4.
The Wedgers, Southpaws, Latecomers, Rolling Stones and Whizbangers all took six points. The KGB earned four while the Dubbers grabbed two points.


There were no changes in the lead for Individual and Team Low Gross spots however Nick VanGeveren, Tim Donaldson and Kyle Wilkinson all turned in impressive rounds of 29 each.

Does It Get Any Better?

Carl Troke chips out of trouble on hole 12.
I think we can all agree, as July nights for golf go, that was pretty sweet! Tonight was easily the most comfortable evening for Men's League in recent memory. And even the bugs decided to leave us alone for the most part.

The conditions also helped to produce some very good scores for many of us with Tim Donaldson and Al Wilkinson posting the low score for the night at even par 27.
Terry Hore tees off on 18.
Wilkinson also nabbed the Closest to the Pin prize on hole #1 while Paul Dekeyser stuck it tight on hole #10. The 50/50 winner was Randy Conley.


The points were a bit more spread out tonight however four teams still managed to take all six points up for grabs as the Rolling Stones, Southpaws, Fat Shafts and Wedgers won their matches. The Hackers grabbed five points, Latecomers four, CCCP 2 and the Whizbangers earned a single point.

Honourable mention goes to Dave Reid and Terry Hore who both made long chip-ins for birdies on the back nine.
Dave Reid misses his putt on 12.

Stones Still Hot

Kyle Wilkinson tees off on the first hole.
The Rolling Stones turned in another impressive team effort tonight by matching last week's Team Low Gross score of 82. The Stones were led by Matt Couperus who posted a round of one under par 53 for the evening by shooting 26 & 27. Norm Toyne posted a nine hole score of 25 for the second week in a row falling just short of tying the Individual Low Gross set last week by Kyle Wilkinson.

Ryan Cuculuzzi makes his putt.
Ryan Cuculuzzi saved his best shot for his second last hole of the night and grabbed the Closest to the Pin prize on hole #8. Tim Donaldson also took the honours on hole #17. The 50/50 was won by Al Wilkinson.

Four teams swept their matches tonight as the Hackers, KGB, Southpaws and Wedgers took all 12 points up for grabs. The Rolling Stones earned 11 points, the Latecomers took 7 points with the Whizbangers getting 5 points and the Fat Shafts managed a single point.

I believe next week we're back to the usual 9 hole rounds as we're now officially into the second half of the season. See you then.
Don Muldoon gets some help from Dave Walker to figure out the scores.

Week One Finally Happens

After what seemed like the winter that would never end, the league finally saw the first swings of the new season. For some of us, it was a lot of swings.

A chilly night and a stiff breeze made for less than favourable conditions but the course was in good shape and there was no snow to be found so how could anyone really complain?

My apologies for not getting the results up sooner but I had to work at 9pm Wednesday night and some folks were tardy in entering their scores before I had to leave. But I have the results from night one now. I would appreciate it if you guys could tally the scores as soon as you can get in if at all possible.

Five teams swept all six points as the KGB, Dubbers, Whizbangers, CCCP and Southpaws all won their matches. Meanwhile the Fat Shafts and Bogies battled to a split taking three points each.

Rick Dean grabbed the Closest to the Pin prize on Hole #1 while Tim Donaldson was the sharpest on the back nine on Hole #10. The 50/50 was won by Dave Reid.

Setting the standard to beat for Individual Low Gross was Tim Donaldson shooting a 28 and the Team Low Gross was turned in by the Southpaws with a 95.

Here are a few photos I snapped on night one. You can click on them to see them bigger. See you next week.

Aces Were Wild Tonight

Terry Hore & Carl Troke celebrate their Hole-in-One's in the Clubhouse
It usually happens a few times each season that a league member will get a hole-in-one. It's always special, especially when it's that golfers first ever. But how often does it happen that two golfers get their very first aces on the same night just minutes apart? Not very often for sure. Add to the fact that tonight those two golfers play on the same team and the odds grow significantly.

That was the case this evening as both Carl Troke and Terry Hore of the Bogies sank their first ever hole-in-one's within minutes of each other. Carl's ace came on the 126 yard 15th hole using an 8 iron. Although his fellow golfers knew it was in, Carl had to wait until he looked in the cup before he would let himself believe it had actually happened. As it turns out it was also the Closest to the Pin hole on the back nine so Carl had a bit of a bonus.

Terry Hore removes his ace from the 16h hole.
Terry, who only moments earlier had been discussing with yours truly how he'd never had one in all his years golfing, stepped up to the 108 yard 16th hole with a pitching wedge and settled his tee shot onto the green. He then watched as it rolled right to the hole and quickly disappeared into the cup leading to a long awaited celebration. Congratulations to both Carl and Terry!

The other Closest to the Pin prize went to Dave Reid who stuck his tee shot close on hole #6. The 50/50 winner for the night was Matt Kearns. Tim Donaldson had the low round for the evening shooting an even par 27.

The point totals for the night went as follows... The Southpaws and KGB each took six points while the Rolling Stones and Whizbangers earned five points each. The Bogies and CCCP took four points while the Latecomers and Fat Shafts each grabbed two points. Single points went to the Dubbers and Hackers.

Don't forget just three weeks of regular season remain before the playoffs begin.
