Southpaws Remain Perfect

What a difference a week makes. After the sweltering humid round of golf we had last week, it was a much more comfortable overcast round with a slight breeze for tonight's round of play.

Some impressive golf was turned in once again as Tim Donaldson shot an even par 27 to join Andy Koetstra and Denis Schick for the Individual Low Gross lead. Andy also shot his second round of 27 tonight, just missing a birdie on the final hole. The Fat Shafts posted their second sub-90 round as a team shooting an 89. The Southpaws had an impressive 91 score as well.

The Southpaws remain the lone team after three weeks of play to not give up a single point in their matches after taking another six points tonight. The Fat Shafts also earned six points. The Dubbers sit in second spot after taking five points while the KGB also took five points. Four points went to the Fivesome giving the Rolling Stones two points. Single points were earned by the Wedgers and Whizbangers.

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

Just a reminder to team captains to make sure your team is set for next Wednesday night and everyone knows their tee times.

Season Humming Along

It still feels a bit odd as we continue to adjust to the way things are with the league and golfing in general this year but everyone seems to be handling it well.

The weather was ideal for a round of golf Wednesday night as week two of our shortened season teed off and produced some impressive scores on the longer blue tees. Tim Donaldson had the low round of the night shooting a 29 on the front nine and combining with his teammates to post the low round of the night with a 92.

The Southpaws and Dubbers were the only two teams to take all six points in their matches. The Rolling Stones came close by earning five points. The KGB and Hackers each took four points while the Fivesome and Wedgers snagged two points. The Fat Shafts had to settle for one point.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Tim Donaldson on hole #2 and Al Wilkinson on hole #11. The 50/50 winner this week was Dave Reid.

Keep cool this week and stay safe until we hit the links again next Wednesday night. Please check the schedule for your tee times and make sure your team lineup is set ahead of time.

Better Late Than Never

Covid19 really put a wrench in our plans this year in more ways than one and although we're about two months late starting an abbreviated season, it was nice to get out tonight and see some familiar faces again.

It was a hot round in more ways than one with some impressive scores and shots along with the extreme heat and humidity.

Denis Schick and Andy Koetstra set the mark to beat for Individual Low Gross as they both posted an even par round of 27. Al Wilkinson and Stephen Westlake also had impressive rounds with each of them finishing with 29. The Team Low Gross mark was set by the Fat Shafts who combined for a total of 87.

Three teams grabbed all six points up for grabs with the Fat Shafts, Southpaws and Whizbangers sweeping their matches. The Bogies took four points while the Dubbers and Rolling Stones battled to a tie and three points each. The Wedgers earned two points on the night.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Andy Koetstra on Hole #1 and Paul Scobie on Hole #10. Lyle Williams was the first 50/50 winner of the season.

Thanks to Steve Powell and Tom and Alida for getting the league set up on short notice and during these crazy times.

Just a reminder to check your tee times for next Wednesday and make sure you have your four golfers there and ready to go 10 minutes prior.
