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.

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.
