Fat Shafts Tie Low Gross

The way things have been going this season we were prepared for the possibility of another rain out but luckily the wet weather passed us by and allowed us to get our round in this evening.

After coming close a few times, the Fat Shafts were able to finally tie the KGB for the Team Low Gross lead. Andy Koetstra shot 28, Stephen Westlake posted a 29 and Mark Kennedy shot 35 to combine for a 92. Paul Scobie also shot a one-over 28 to tie for the low round of the night. A total of five teams managed to post sub-100 team scores.

It was another feast or famine night in the matches as the Bogies, Fivesome, Latecomers, KGB, Fat Shafts and Southpaws all took six points. The closest to the pin winners were Denis Schick on hole #8 and Marty MacDonald on hole #17. The 50/50 winner was Benny Brock.

Feeling The Blues


On the final night of Spring we were treated to some ideal golf conditions following last weeks cancelled round.
Don Muldoon says thanks! Well done.
There was no rain, lightning or strong winds but the blue tees proved to be a challenge all on their own for many.

Only two teams managed to post a total under 100 with Al Wilkinson and Andy Koetstra shooting 29 for the low scores of the evening. 

Sweeping all six points in their matches were the Rolling Stones, Wedgers, Fat Shafts and Bogies. The KGB took five points while the Dubbers earned four points. The Latecomers grabbed two points and the Whizbangers took a single point on the night. 

The closest to the pin winners were Andy Koetstra on hole #7 and Ralph Lambert on hole #16. The 50/50 winner was Paul Reid.

Beautiful But Cancelled


Heading to the golf course tonight I wondered if I should have used a boat instead of my car as the torrential rain and lightning moved in as expected.

And also as expected it was gone as quickly as it came and by 6pm we were ready to golf on a beautiful evening.
The only problem was not enough league members showed up to play the round as the weather scared them off.

Those that did show up either went home or stuck around to play in a fun best ball scramble. The winning team at 4-under-par consisted of Denis Schick, Tom St.Denis, Mark Kennedy, Lyle Williams and Benny Brock.

See you next week.

How Sweep It Is


After a stumble last week, the KGB were able to take advantage of some help by the Southpaws to regain top spot in the league. However, the lead is a slim one with the lefties, Fat Shafts, Whizbangers and Rolling Stones all in the hunt.

It was feast or famine as we played from the blue tees this evening. All six matches were clean sweeps with the CCCP, Southpaws, KGB, Rolling Stones, Fat Shafts and Hackers taking all six points up for grabs.

The low team score was posted by the Fat Shaft with a 96. The low scores for the night were turned in by Andy Koetstra and Tim Donaldson who both shot 29. Andy also grabbed the closest to the pin on hole #15 while Carl Troke was most accurate on hole #6. The 50/50 winner was Kim Defosse.
