For those of you who may be interested, here is a breakdown of the league finances for the season.
Things are a bit different than normal since the Hole in One pot, 50/50 and Closest to the Pin money are taken from league dues. Under normal circumstances we would pay that each week to enter ourselves into a chance to win those prizes and that money would be used to cover the final party. With any luck we can return to that next Spring.
Another excellent season of league play has come to an end and the final playoff results were competitive right up to the last nine holes.
In the “A” flight, the Fat Shafts were the winners once again this year, although Grip It N Sip It kept it close just five strokes back. The Fat Shafts posted a score of 92 for a three round total of 282. Grip It N Sip It finished second, shooting 91 tonight for a total of 287. The Southpaws placed third with a total score of 292 and the Whizbangers were fourth shooting 334.
In the “B” flight, the Dubbers sat two shots back before the round began but faltered and the Rolling Stones won the title by eight strokes with a total of 302. The Latecomers and KGB tied for second with scores of 310 while the Dubbers were one shot back in fourth with a total of 311.
Over in the “C” flight the CCCP held on to first all through the playoffs and took the title with a total score of 325. The Hackers were five strokes off the lead and shot a 330. The Wedgers grabbed third with a score of 340 while the Fivesome ended up fourth shooting 341. The full standings are below.
Congratulations to Andy Koetstra, who as a result of being the only one to get a hole in one this year, takes home the pot.
Rodney Keyes was the 50/50 winner and the closest to the pin winners on the 18 holes were:
Our thanks as always to Stephen Powell for all of his hard work and organization behind the scenes. Thanks also to Alida and Tom St.Denis for their work to keep things safe and running smoothly at the clubhouse and for the exemplary playing conditions all season long. If all goes well, I know we hope to return to our usual playoff format and party next year.
Just a reminder, for those who would still like to get out and play, we are still meeting each Wednesday night at 5:30pm to play for fun. It's usually a friendly round of best ball in teams so we hope to see you out. If not, have a safe and enjoyable Fall and Winter and we'll see you next season.

I don’t think we could have asked for better conditions for week two of our playoffs. The course was in great shape, the temperature was ideal and the bugs…okay, two out of three isn’t bad.
The overall scoring for the round was also improved over last week and this allowed for some changes to the standings and some good scores.
Andy Koetstra had the low round of the night with an even par 27. This helped the Fat Shafts to shoot 90 and move into a slim lead in the “A” Flight. The Southpaws shot 94 and sit two shots back in second while Grip It N Sip It had a solid round of 92 and are only six shots back. The Whizbangers are 21 shots off the lead in fourth.
In the “B” Flight, the Latecomers struggled tonight and have dropped out of the lead. The Rolling Stones shot 100 again this week and have a two stroke advantage over the second place Dubbers who shot 102. The Latecomers shot 111 and sit in a tie with the KGB for third after they shot a 103.
In the “C” Flight, the CCCP who shot a 110, remain in first but their lead has shrunk to four shots over the Hackers who posted an impressive score of 103. The Wedgers and Fivesome are tied for third and are only 9 shots off the lead so anything could happen.
The full standings after week two are below. The 50/50 winner was Mike Leslie and the closest to the pin winners were as follows:
Andy Koetstra - Hole #2
Jamie Sandercock - Hole #5
Pat Flynn - Hole #8
David Horner - Hole #11
Terry Letch - Hole #14
Terry Letch - Hole #17
