Koetstra Aces Sixteen

Andy All Smiles After His Hole-in-One

With only four weeks left in the regular season there is still plenty to be decided in the standings and how the playoff picture will unfold. 

Only the Fat Shafts have assured themselves of a spot in the “A” flight at this point. Mathematically six other teams are still in the hunt for the top division. The Hackers have ensured their spot in the “C” flight. All other spots are still up for grabs and it could come down to the last week to see what happens when the dust settles.

There were some impressive rounds tonight. Andy Koetstra of the Fat Shafts had our leagues first hole-in-one of the year. Andy aced the 16th hole using a 56 degree wedge. The best rounds of the night went to Murdoch Garrett and Paul Scobie who each shot even par 27’s. 

In the nights matches, the Fivesome, Whizbangers, Rolling Stones, Fat Shafts and Wedgers all took six points. Grip It N Sip It took five points and the K.G.B earned one point. 

The closest to the pin winners were Josh McDonald on hole #5 and Al Wilkinson on hole #14. The 50/50 winner was Tyler Rittwage.

See you next week on the blue tees.

Blues Were Buggy and Boiling

The sweltering heat and humidity combined with the constant buzzing of bugs made playing from the blue tees extra challenging tonight.

I couldn’t even find time to take any photos or videos tonight as I was either trying to dry off, swing or defend myself.

In the evenings matches, the Dubbers moved up two places into fourth spot after taking four points and leapfrogging the KGB and Grip It N Sip It. The CCCP took two points. 

Elsewhere the Fivesome, Whizbangers and Fat Shafts all took six points. In a very tight match the Southpaws earned five points while the Latecomers took one point. The Rolling Stones took four points while Grip It N Sip It finished with two points.

The closest to the pin winners were Jordan Mercer on hole #4 and Gerry Fox on hole #13. The 50/50 winner was Kim Defosse.

We’re back to the white tees next week and hopefully more comfortable temperatures. See you then.

Low Scoring Night For Many

We couldn’t have timed the completion of tonight’s round much better as the rain waited until we finished before the soaking began. 

After a quick check of the scoresheet it was clear to see the scores for many were very impressive. Although nobody matched the individual low gross leading score, at least five golfers shot scores under 30. The lowest score was turned in by Tim Donaldson who shot an even par 27. Tim was also the 50/50 winner. 

In the nights matches, the Fivesome, Whizbangers, Grip It N Sip It, Southpaws and Fat Shafts all took six points. The Dubbers earned four points while two points went to the KGB. 

The closest to the pin winners were Tom St.Denis on hole #3 and Don Muldoon on hole #12. 

We’re back to the blue tees next week. See you then.

The Standings Shuffle

With just seven weeks of regular season play left before the playoffs, things remain tight and ever changing.

From one week to the next the teams from 3rd to 8th place continue to flip flop spots. With just a nine point spread, these teams continue to battle for playoff positioning.

In tonight’s action, the Fat Shafts, Whizbangers, KGB, CCCP and Rolling Stones all took six points. The Southpaws earned five while the Fivesome tied the Net for a single point. 

Nick VanGemeren was both good and lucky tonight grabbing the closest to the pin on hole #11 and the 50/50. Kim Defosse was closest on hole #2.
