2019 Playoffs - Final Round

That's all she wrote for another fun year of Men's League golf and despite a little rain shower, we managed to get all 18 holes in to wrap things up as planned.

The Fat Shafts needed to use all of their 14 stroke lead on the final day to hang on for a three shot victory over the KGB to win the "A" Flight. The Fat Shafts finished with a total of 394 while the KGB picked up 11 strokes and made it close with a total of 397. The Dubbers started the day tied with the Whizbangers 20 strokes out of first and picked up some ground to claim third spot with a total of 405. The Whizbangers also picked up a little ground but finished fourth with a score of 411.

We expected the "B" Flight to be a battle on the final day and it didn't disappoint. The Fivesome had a rough day and slipped from first place to third when the dust settled with a total of 416. The Southpaws came away as champs of the "B" Flight with a slim one stroke victory over the Rolling Stones. The Southpaws finished with a score of 400 with the Rolling Stones at 401. The Bogies rounded our the division in fourth place with a score of 426.

In the "C" Flight, the CCCP had a big lead heading into the day and despite picking up a little bit of ground, the Latecomers couldn't overcome the deficit. The CCCP claimed the "C" division with a final score of 426. The Latecomers totaled 440. The Hackers took third with a score of 450 while the Wedgers struggled on the final day and settled for fourth place with a total of 470.

No list of Closest to the Pin winners was available but as I'm sure everyone noticed, there were a lot of impressive shots to earn the honours.

Many thanks as always to everyone who helped to make the day a success behind the scenes. To Tom and Alida St.Denis for their hospitality and awesome golfing conditions all season. Stephen Powell earns our gratitude as always for keeping the league running smoothly all year and for his hard work in putting together an impressive wrap up party. Thanks also to the other helpers behind the scenes today, including Debbie Stewart, Julia Bosma and Rose Moran. We can't forget Stephen Westlake and Kim Defosse who year after year run the putting contest where half of the money raised goes to Terry Fox and the Cancer Society. Thanks to everyone who took part as well.

Just a reminder that even though league play is done, you are still invited to keep coming out Wednesday nights for some always fun best ball action. It's always a good time.

Thanks for checking out the blog each week. If all goes well, we'll keep it going again next season. Have a safe and enjoyable winter. Lets hope it's a warm and short one.

2019 Playoffs - Round Two

There was a feeling of Autumn to the second round of playoffs this evening as the breeze combined with the cooler temps made for another beautiful night for golf.

In the “A” Flight the Fat Shafts were able to extend their lead slightly over the second place KGB. The Fat Shafts shot 100 and will have a 14 stroke advantage heading into the final round on Saturday with a total score of 188. The KGB shot a 102 tonight to bring their total score to 202. The Dubbers shot 105 and the Whizbangers shot 104 and are tied 20 shots off the pace with a total of 208.

Things are very interesting in the “B” Flight where only two strokes separate the Fivesome, Southpaws and Rolling Stones. The Fivesome shot a 102 for a total of 202. The Southpaws posted a 101 and are in second place, one stroke back at 203. The Rolling Stones shot a 90 to vault them back into the hunt and are two strokes back at 204. The Bogies had a better round this week shooting a 106 but sit 16 strokes back with a 218 total.

The CCCP will have the largest lead to start the day on Saturday in the “C” Flight. After shooting 100 tonight, they have a total of 206 and a 15 stroke cushion over the second place Hackers who shot 107 for a score of 221. The Latecomers also scored 107 but sit in third spot 19 strokes back at 225. The Wedgers matched last weeks score of 113 and are 20 strokes out of first with a 226.

There were eight Closest to the Pin winners tonight. They included Carl Troke, Eric Korver, Carm Herrington, Dustin McLeod, Coady MacGillivary, Stephen Westlake, Derek LeClair and Denis Schick.

We’re done with the white tees now and on Saturday the entire 18 holes will be played from the Blues. A reminder that we tee off at 2:00pm and the wrap up party will follow the round. Bring your Toonies for the putting contest and it could be a chilly evening so bring some warm clothes. Now I sound like your mother. See you Saturday afternoon.

2019 Playoffs - Round One

As golf conditions go, the league couldn’t have asked for anything better to kick off round one of the playoffs.

The biggest lead after night one is in the “A” Flight where the Fat Shafts will take a 12 stroke lead into round two after shooting an 88. The KGB shot 100 to sit in second, two strokes ahead of the Dubbers who posted a 102. The Whizbangers are 16 strokes off the lead after scoring a 104.

Over in the “B” Flight the battle for first is very close. The Fivesome, after shooting a round of 100, have the early lead by two strokes over the Southpaws who scored 102. The other two teams stumbled on night one as the Bogies shot 112 and the Rolling Stones finished with 114.

The CCCP find themselves with a bit of a cushion after night one. They posted a 106 and are seven strokes up on the second place Wedgers who shot 113. The Hackers were only one worse with a 114 while the Latecomers are 12 off the pace after shooting 118.

There were eight Closest to the Pin winners tonight. They included Kim Defosse, Rick Turtle, Andy Koetstra, Derek LeClair, Symen Korver, Tim Donaldson, Jim Lidster and Paul Scobie.

A lot can happen in a short time and no lead is safe as we’ve seen in the past. It’s back to the White tees next Wednesday and then on Saturday September 7th we’ll play the final 18 holes from the Blue tees followed by the wrap up party.

Bring On The Playoffs

It’s hard to believe but another regular season of golf has come to an end and we start playoffs next Wednesday night. As expected, the final night gave teams a chance to solidify their spots for the playoff groupings.

In tonight’s play, the Bogies and Fivesome leapfrogged the Southpaws and CCCP to ensure their place in the “B” Flight. Also joining them there are the Rolling Stones and Southpaws.

The CCCP stumbled and dropped back to ninth spot to land in the “C” Flight with the Latecomers, Hackers and Wedgers.

The “A” Flight was already decided. The Fat Shafts finished in first place with an 18 point cushion over the KGB. The Dubbers and Whizbangers round out the top four spots.

Tim Donaldson, Andy Koetstra, Stephen Westlake  and Paul Scobie share the seasons Individual Low Gross honours having all shot even par 27. The Team Low Gross for the year goes to the Fat Shafts with an 88.

The Closest to the Pin winners tonight were Peter Hughes on hole #8 and Taylor Rivando on hole #17. The 50/50 winner was Dave Powell.

Playoffs begin with the White tees the next two Wednesday’s and then on Saturday September 7th we’ll play the final 18 holes from the Blue tees followed by the wrap up party.

Playoff Spots Up For Grabs

With only one week of play remaining before the playoffs begin, the “A” Flight participants are the only certainty so far.

Only three points separates sixth place and ninth place so the final week will determine the groupings for “B” and “C” flights. The Southpaws, CCCP, Bogies and Fivesome all have a chance to either clinch their spot or make a move to the higher grouping.

In tonight’s play, the Bogies, KGB and Fat Shafts all earned six points. Five points went to the Dubbers while the Southpaws and CCCP took four points each. The Rolling Stones and Wedgers each grabbed two points while a single point went to the Latecomers.
 

The Closest to the Pin winners were Symen Korver on hole #7 and Stephen Powell on hole #16. The 50/50 winner was Tim Donaldson.

Wednesday 7 August 2019

Hole in One for Wilky

A good round was made even better for Al Wilkinson tonight as he became the latest league member to shoot a hole-in-one.
Al Wilkinson aced hole #2 tonight.
Wilkinson used a pitching wedge on hole number two and sank his tee shot to earn the ace. Congrats Al!


The Individual Low Gross leader board also got a bit more crowded as Tim Donaldson shot a round of even par 27 to tie the three others at that low score for the year. There's still two weeks left for someone try and beat them.

Scoring was spread out tonight with only the KGB and Rolling Stones taking all six point in their matches. Elsewhere the Hackers, Fat Shafts, Whizbangers and Latecomers took four points each while two points went to the Bogies, CCCP, Dubbers and Fivesome.

The Closest to the pin winners were Tim Donaldson on hole #6 and Symen Korver on hole #15. The 50/50 winner was Dustin McLeod.

Fat Shafts Clinch First

(Update: A couple days after posting the update below, an error was found on the score sheet. The standings are correct now but this story contains some inaccuracies based on the original scores.)

With three weeks left to play in the regular season, the Fat Shafts (consisting of Mark Kennedy, Andy Koetstra, Lyle Williams, Stephen Westlake and Dave Reid) have clinched the league championship. With a 22 point lead they can’t be caught by the now second place KGB.

The Fat Shafts earned six points in their match against the Dubbers this evening.
Peter Hughes fires at hole #1.
The Rolling Stones also took six points and still mathematically have a chance to challenge for a spot in the “A” flight of the upcoming playoffs. They currently sit nine points behind the fourth place Whizbangers. Also taking six points were the KGB.

Further down in the standings, the Bogies, Latecomers and Hackers are all tied for ninth place with 27 points but any of them could slip into the “B” flight as they are only nine points back of the eighth place CCCP.

Also taking points this evening were the Southpaws, Hackers and Fivesome who earned four point each. Two points went to the Whizbangers, Wedgers and CCCP.

Tim Donaldson had the low round of the night with a 29. The Closest to the Pin winners were Dave Walker on hole #5 and Eric Mofina on hole #14. The 50/50 winner was Rick Turtle.


Wednesday 24 July 2019

Westlake Ties Low Gross

It was another perfect night for golf as the season continues to slowly wind down on us with only four weeks remaining after tonight's round before the playoffs begin.

Stephen Westlake shot an impressive round of even par 27 to move into a three way tie for the Individual Low Gross with Paul Scobie and Andy Koetstra.

The Fat Shafts and KGB squared off in the battle of the top two teams and the Shafts took all six points to increase their team total to 74 points and overall lead to 19 points. The Dubbers slipped past the KGB into second spot with four points this evening while the Whizbangers earned five points and moved within two points of third.

The battle for fifth continues to be interesting as the Rolling Stones took six points and the Southpaws nabbed five points and are now tied for fifth with 37 points each. The Hackers took four points tonight while the Fivesome and CCCP each earned two points. The Wedgers and Latecomers both grabbed one point each.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Carl Troke on hole #4 and Jim Conley on hole #13. The 50/50 winner was Benny Brock.

Apologies for not having any photos or videos to post but I'm on holidays and was unable to attend. See you next week.

Tight Race for Fifth

Was that hot and muggy enough for you guys? It was easily one of the hottest and stickiest rounds of the year but that didn’t stop teams from making moves in the standings.

With only five regular season weeks left to play, several teams are making moves to solidify their playoff positions. Currently the “A” flight looks pretty solid.
This little guy played thru on the 8th green
The Fat Shafts have a 16 point lead over the KGB but the Dubbers sit just one point back in third spot. The Whizbangers are further back in fourth but hold a 13 point cushion over the fifth place teams.

The biggest battle right now is for that fifth place and the top spot in “B” flight. The Fivesome, CCCP and Southpaws are all tied for fifth with the Rolling Stones one point back of them. Even the Bogies and Latecomers could challenge for a spot in the “B” flight if they play well and get some help.

Taking all six points tonight were the Fat Shafts, Rolling Stones and Whizbangers. The Dubbers and Southpaws took five points while the Bogies earned four points. Two points went to the Wedgers while the Hackers and KGB grabbed one point each.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Kim Defosse on hole #3 and Taylor Rivando on hole #12. The 50/50 winner was Jim Turner.


Wednesday 10 July 2019

Fat Shafts Set New Low

The heat of the night seemed to have a different effect on the golfers this evening than it did last week as some much lower rounds were posted overall.

Andy Koetstra tied Paul Scobie’s low score of even par 27 to earn a share of the Individual Low Gross lead. Koetstra’s score also combined with teammates Stephen Westlake and Mark Kennedy to set the new Team Low Gross mark by shooting an 88. Special mention to Carl Troke who had his best round of the year posting a 32 with back to back birdies on his last two holes.

The matches were all sweeps tonight as the Fat Shafts, Whizbangers, Dubbers, Southpaws, Latecomers and KGB all took six points.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Tyler Donaldson on hole #2 and Jimmy Rogers on hole #11. The 50/50 winner was Steve Guindon.


Wednesday 3 July 2019

Bug Bites and Bogies

Judging by some of the scores posted this evening, I can only assume the plentiful mosquitoes were causing havoc with some games. Aside from the bugs, the summer heat was back again to make for a sticky night on the links.

There wasn’t much change to the overall standings. The Latecomers, Bogies and CCCP all took six points. Four points each were earned by the Fat Shafts, KGB and Dubbers. The Southpaws, Fivesome and Hackers took two points each.

Andy Koetstra shot the low round of the night with a 28. The low team score was turned in by the Fat Shafts with a 95. The Southpaws were the only other team under the century mark with a 99.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Neil Nelson on hole #1 and Jordan Mercer on hole #10. The 50/50 winner was Andy Koetstra.


Wednesday 26 June 2019

Scobie Aces Fourteen

For the third time in just two weeks, a league member had a hole-in-one. Tonight it was Paul Scobie who achieved this honour as he drained his tee shot on hole 14 using a six iron.

Scobie’s luck didn’t end there.
Paul Scobie had a hole-in-one on hole 14.
He also picked up the closest to the pin prize on hole #18 and set the new mark to beat for the Individual Low Gross by shooting an even par 27. Denis Schick and Andy Koetstra also played well and shot 28 each. The low team score for the night was turned in by the Fat Shafts with a 95.

Taking all six points up for grabs in their matches were the Fivesome, Bogies, Fat Shafts and KGB who were awarded their points when the CCCP were unable to field a team. Earning four points each were the Dubbers and Whizbangers while the Hackers and Latecomers took two points.

The Other Closest to the Pin winner was Justin Timson on hole #9. The 50/50 winner was Derek LeClair.


Wednesday 19 June 2019

Heat Doesn't Help

By far tonight’s round of golf was the warmest and most humid of the season but that didn’t translate into hot scoring.

The lowest team score of the evening was a 104 and Scott Reilly shot a solid round of 32 but nobody challenged the low scores of the year.

The first place Fat Shafts were gifted six points  after the second place Whizbangers were unable to field a team. Earning six points tonight were the now second place KGB, Bogies and Hackers. Four points each went to the CCCP and Dubbers while the Southpaws and Wedgers grabbed two points.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Paul Reid on hole #8 and Symen Korver on hole #17. The 50/50 winner was Don Muldoon.


Wednesday 12 June 2019

Koetstra and Hietala are Aces

It was nice to get back to golf again after last weeks rain out and two golfers had even more reason to celebrate the round.

Andy Koetstra and Kory Hietala each shot a hole-in-one this evening. For Hietala it came on hole 3 with a 7 iron and for Koetstra it was jarred on hole 15 with a PW.
Andy and Kory all smiles after their aces tonight.
Congratulations to both of you.

The standings saw a bit of movement as the Fivesome dropped out of third place while the Whizbangers now have some company in second with the KGB. The Fat Shafts increased their lead atop the standings with the low round of the night. Five teams in total  posted scores in the 90’s.

Grabbing all six points in their matches tonight were the KGB, CCCP, Dubbers, Southpaws and the Fat Shafts. The Rolling Stones earned four points while the Whizbangers took two points.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Mark Adams on hole #7 and Marsh Ferguson on hole #16. The 50/50 winner was Denis Schick.

Terry Fox Fundraiser

As I'm sure many of you have noticed during your visits to the golf course this season, and in particular your visits to the bar, a fundraiser is taking place all summer in an effort to raise more money to help fight Cancer.

Every October the golf course hosts the Terry Fox Charity Golf Tournament to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society. Thousands have been raised thanks to everyone involved, including many of our league members who take part faithfully every year.

You can help to raise even more money this year with the 50/50 contest. For only $1 you can take a guess at how many golf tees are located in the large jar. The winner will be announced October 12th.

So if you have a spare Loonie or more, please take a moment to make a guess and help out a very worthy cause that has affected us all.

Rained Out Again

This has been another awful Spring and our league play is paying the price for it.

As I'm sure most are aware already, the incessant rain has forced us to cancel our round for tonight. We'll pick things up again next Wednesday night if all goes well. 

See you next week!

Wednesday 29 May 2019

Rivando Adds His Name

Is eight really enough? When it comes to the Individual Low Gross leaders, it seems to be the case for now as Taylor Rivando posted a 29 tonight to add his name to the growing list.

It’s likely only a matter of time before someone shoots a lower score to claim the lead all to themselves but in the meantime, it seems it’s the more the merrier.

Al Wilkinson, Andy Koetstra and Tim Donaldson all posted 29’s but they already share the top spot.

In other news, the 1st place Fat Shafts finally lost points as the Hackers took 2 points in their match. The Shafts had to settle for four.

Elsewhere, the Southpaws are starting to claw their way out of the basement by taking six points from the Rolling Stones and they also shot a 93 which was the low round of the night. Also earning all six points were the CCCP, Dubbers and Fivesome. The Whizbangers had another solid night and took five points from the KGB who split the net to get a single point.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Tim Donaldson on hole #6 and Ralph Lambert on hole #15. The 50/50 winner was Roger Bulman.

It was another cool and overcast Wednesday evening but luckily the weather cooperated with just a few raindrops during the round.

The already crowded Individual Low Gross leader board now has a seventh name added to it as Jerry Powell shot a 29 to join the group at that score.
Coady MacGillivary takes aim at hole #8.
Andy Koetstra also shoot 29 but is already among the low scorers.

The Fat Shafts nearly tied the Team Low Gross leaders but only managed to shoot a 94 for the low score of the night. That was good enough to earn them six points to increase their lead in the standings slightly.

The other teams that swept all six points in their matches were the Fivesome, Bogies, KGB and Rolling Stones. The Whizbangers took four points while the Dubbers grabbed two points.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Peter Hughes on hole #5 and Jim Turner on hole #14. The 50/50 winner was Jordan Mercer.

The KGB who already held the Team Low Gross lead matched their low total of 92 again this evening but the Whizbangers also shot 92 and share that mark as well.

The Whizbangers took six points to move into second place behind the Fat Shafts who also earned six points to remain on top.

No Golf Tonight

I'm sure it's no surprise to any of you that the decision has been made to cancel our round of golf tonight due to the extremely moist conditions.

The rain is actually expected to intensify right around our 6pm tee time. So, enjoy the night off and lets hope next week brings improved conditions.

Wednesday 24 April 2019

Wilkinson Ties Low Gross

It was a chilly, overcast and judging by some of the scores, a difficult round as week two saw us play the longer blue tees for the first time this season.

Only one team posted a sub-100 round this evening as the Fat Shafts turned in a 99 and took six points in their match.
Glenn Lonergan just misses on hole #8.
Also taking all six were the Dubbers and CCCP. The KGB and Southpaws each earned five points while the Whizbangers grabbed four points. Taking two points was the Hackers while single points went to the Wedgers and Fivesome.

Al Wilkinson shot the low round of 29 to earn a share of the Individual Low Gross lead. The closest to the pin winners were Mark Adams on hole #2 and Tom St.Denis on hole #11. The 50/50 winner this week was Randy Conley.


Wednesday 17 April 2019

And We're Off

Welcome back golfers! I don't want to my jinx anything but unlike last year when we weren't able to start play until May 2nd, this year after a long winter, we were able to get the league started on time.
Tony Schick tees off at the 14th hole.
I don't think we could have asked for a nicer evening for mid-April.

Two teams began the year by taking all the points in their matches as the KGB and Fat Shafts each earned six points. The Rolling Stones came close by taking five while the Fivesome, Latecomers and Bogies each grabbed four points. Two points went to the Dubbers, Wedgers and Whizbangers while a single point was nabbed by the CCCP.

Tim Donaldson set the early mark to beat for Individual Low Gross by posting a round of 29 while the KGB shot a combined score of 92 to grab the Team Low Gross lead.

The closest to the pin winners were Jerry Powell on hole #1 and Glenn Lonergan on hole #10. The 50/50 winner was Rick Dean.

Rule Changes for 2019

On the eve of our league beginning play for this new season, some of you might be interested in familiarizing yourself with the new rule changes for 2019.

One rule I think will be of particular help to our league is the speed of play changes. Some of our members take far too much time to play their shots and this needs to be adjusted so our rounds are quicker and more enjoyable for everyone. It should take no more than 40 seconds to play your shot and even that might be too long. Ready golf is a great way to help speed things up.

Some local course rules may be slightly different or take precedence.

I See Grass!


UPDATE: I have been informed by Andy that the league is scheduled to start at 6:00pm on Wednesday April 17th...weather and conditions permitting.

It has been a long winter away and we aren't quite ready to hit the course yet but the signs of Spring are slowly making their presence known.

Last season we had some bad luck with the last gasp of winter forcing us to cancel the first two weeks of the season. Hopefully that won't be the case in 2019.

The schedule isn't available yet but as soon as I hear a start date for the league I will be sure to post it here. Also, once I have a schedule, I will try and post it like I did last year with a link to the right that you can click on at any time to view it.

We hope everyone had a good and safe winter and we look forward to seeing you at the golf course in the near future.
