2017 Season Commences

After a long winter and a late start thanks to Mother Nature, we finally kicked off the 2017 Men's League with an exceptional night weather wise.

Bob Donaldson tees off on #16.

Even most of the bugs failed to show up.

A special welcome to the new faces that have joined the fun this season and it was nice to see so many diehards back at it for another year.

Four teams started off strong by sweeping their matches. The Fat Shafts, Fivesome, Rolling Stones and CCCP all earned six points. The Dubbers and KGB each took four points while two points each went to the Latecomers and Whizbangers.

Andy Koetstra and Kyle Wilkinson each shot 29 to set the early target for Individual Low Gross. The Team Low Gross after night one was set by the KGB after shooting a solid round of 94.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Eric Korver on hole #1 and Andy Koetstra on hole #10. Rick Stuckless was the years first 50/50 winner.

Hot and Sticky Round

The heatwave continues to grip the area and the drought conditions are quite unreal this year but despite the humidity, we're still enjoying zero nights of missed golf due to the weather.

Norm Toyne nearly aces number 9.

I can't help but think we'll pay for this eventually.

My apologies to the Hackers and Dubbers. Last week I switched their scores for some reason but this weeks posted standings should be correct. I almost made it the whole season without  messing up.

With only two weeks of regular season rounds left, the standings are quite interesting for some teams. The Fat Shafts took six points this week while the Southpaws grabbed five points which locks them in a tie for first place with 99 points each. The Rolling Stones faltered and are no longer capable of challenging for the top spot. The KGB took six points and currently have the final spot in the "A" division but the Dubbers and Hackers could still make a move for that spot. The Whizbangers took six points to move into a "B" division spot but the Latecomers can still fight them for that position with two weeks to play.

The Hackers and Bogies took six points tonight while the Dubbers earned one point.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Andy Koetstra on hole #8 and Benny Brock on hole #17. The 50/50 winner was Rick Stuckless.

To those members taking part in the Club Championships this weekend, best of luck.
