2013 Playoffs - Final Round

I don't know what weather radar the Weather Network uses or who posts the forecasts on their website but they might want to rethink their methods because they're useless. Although rain was called for earlier, a quick check of the local radar showed no rain in the area or expected for our final round of playoffs today. As we quickly found out, that wasn't the case as light rain fell for most of the last 18 holes of another Men's League final.

Andy Koetstra tees off on Hole #11

Despite the soggy conditions it did remain relatively warm at least which made golfing a bit less uncomfortable and some teams and golfers were able to post some impressive scores.

Before I run down the final standings I want to congratulate all of the winners of each division, the Closest to the Pins cash and the prize winners following the round. Also you'll find more photos by scrolling down.

Thanks to Steve Powell for his continued hard work each season to keep the league and final day running smoothly for all members to enjoy. It's safe to say that the work by Steve behind the scenes may not be noticed by many but it certainly is appreciated by all.

Dave Walker prepares to hit his tee shot on Hole #17.

We should also thank Tom and Alida St.Denis for another great year at the course. The course was in great shape all season long even when Mother Nature wasn't providing much help. Also thanks to Alida, Debbie Stewart and Lynn McPhee for their efforts today in tallying the results and organizing the meal. I hear that dessert was even located by some guys.

And last but not least, thanks to Kim Defosse and Peter Hughes for looking after the organization and running of the annual putting competition. Peter did a fine job filling in for Steve Westlake who I understand is now home and resting comfortably. We hope to see Steve back on the course soon.

In the "A" Division the Rolling Stones turned in an impressive effort today posting nine hole scores of 83 and 85 and turned their slim one stroke lead from Wednesday into a 26 stroke margin of victory with a total of 351. The Southpaws finished in second place posting a 377 total.

Over in the "B" Division the Whizbangers were unable to close the gap enough on the KGB who grabbed the title by just two strokes. The KGB finished with a 368 while the Whizbangers posted a 370 total.

In the "C" Division the Bogies lead wire to wire and kept the pedal to the metal today by shooting rounds of 96 and 99 which allowed them to cruise to a 21 stroke victory over the second place CCCP.

Even Leafs & Habs fans get along on the final day.

To all of our league members, thanks for another great summer of golf and good times. Hopefully we're back out for another season before we know it. Have a safe Autumn and Winter and we look forward to seeing you again next Spring.

And on a personal note, thanks again to those of you who checked in on the blog each week. Each year I think a few more guys find out about it and I hope you enjoyed the updates all season long.

2012 Playoffs - Final Round

I don't know what everybody was worried about. There was never a doubt that we'd get the final 18 holes of playoffs in on this day. Okay, maybe there was a smidgen of doubt when only a few hours prior to tee-off the entire region was dealing with torrential rain and high winds.

But despite the threatening skies to start the round we only had a brief light rain. Oh, and of course some very gusty conditions but I don't think anyone was complaining too loudly considering what it could have been like. The wet conditions also made the greens more receptive I'm sure most will agree.

The day was about wrapping up the season and crowning the playoff champs in all three divisions and we did just that.

In the "A" Division, the Rolling Stones couldn't hold on to their lead as they faltered on the final day and opened the door for the Southpaws who took full advantage and cruised to a eight stroke victory.

The Whizbangers held a seven stroke lead on the Dubbers in the "B" Division prior to the start of the round and they managed to increase their lead and cruised to a 15 stroke margin of victory.

Over in the "C" Division the CCCP lead wire to wire to claim the title by seven shots.

There were no hole-in-one's to be had today but several golfers cleaned up on the Closest to the Pin prizes and other awards following the round.

Once again this year everyone was treated to a scrumptious BBQ steak dinner with so much food there was no excuse to leave the table hungry. Be sure to check below to see more photos from the evening.

I know I speak for all the league members when I thank Steve Powell for all of his hard work, not only for today but for the entire season. He's a big reason why we can all relax and enjoy ourselves. Thanks also to Tom and Alida St.Denis for a wonderful season and excellent course conditions all year long despite one of the driest summer's in recent memory. Thanks also to Debbie Stewart and Lynn McPhee for their help and volunteer work for the day.

To all our league members, thanks for making this such a great summer and enjoy the Autumn and Winter months ahead. Stay safe and we look forward to seeing you again in the Spring of 2013.

On a personal note I'd like to thank those of you who took the time to visit this league blog throughout the season. I know more of you found it this year and I hope you enjoyed it. I know I've had fun keeping it updated for another year.

2011 Playoffs - Final Round

After a season that saw more rainy Wednesday nights for golf then I can ever recall since joining the league, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day to play the final 18 holes of our playoffs.

Congratulations to the Southpaws who cruised to a 10 stroke margin of victory in the "A" Division.

The "B" Division was the tightest as the Whizbangers finished in first by one stroke over the Wedgers.

The Latecomers lead was too great and they won by 20 stroked to claim the "C" Division title.

The meal following the round was delicious as always and it appeared that everyone had a fun time taking part in the putting contests. Congratulations to all of the Closest to the Pin winners that are too numerous to mention.

Thanks to Steve Powell once again this season for all of his hard work and dedication to the league and his efforts on the final day as well.

Also thanks to Lynn and Debbie for keeping us hydrated during the final round and a big thank you to Tom and Alida for all they do to make our league more enjoyable.

2010 Playoffs - Final Results

I don't think we could have had a much better day to play our final 18 holes of the year or a better evening for the wrap-up party. In fact it may have been one of the most comfortable rounds of golf we've had all season.

The meal was excellent once again this year and there was no lack of food or beverages.

There are a few people who deserve our gratitude in helping to make the final day a success. To the ladies who kept us from getting thirsty, tallied up the scores and helped with getting the meal ready, we say thanks to Alida, Lynn and Debbie.

Also thanks to Alida and Tom for another great season at the golf course which was in great shape all year long.

Finally, thanks to Steve Powell for his work behind the scenes. I'm sure many don't notice all that Steve does but the league, playoffs and final party wouldn't go nearly as well without his efforts.

The season went by too quickly but it was another fun year golfing with everyone. If anyone is still interested, we usually keep golfing on Wednesday nights as long as we can so feel free to come out and take part in some scramble or cross-country action. The start time usually changes to around 5:30 as the sun is setting a lot sooner.

For the rest of you, have a safe Autumn and Winter and we'll see you on the links again in the Spring.

2009 Playoffs - Day 3 Final Results

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.

2008 Playoffs – Day 3 Final Results

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.
