Dubbers Move Up

Despite the humid and buggy night, we certainly can’t complain about the golf conditions so far this season. Tonight, despite being a bit toasty, was another excellent evening to be swinging the clubs.

Tim Donaldson led all golfers tonight by shooting a round of 26 on the front nine.  That left him just shy of tying the Individual Low Gross. He did help his Southpaws teammates take six points and shorten the lead of the first place Fat Shafts to three. They only managed five points.

The Dubbers, who took six points, took advantage of a pointless night by the KGB to slip ahead of them into fourth place and the potential last spot in the “A” division of the playoffs which are quickly approaching. The Fat Shafts and Southpaws have both clinched a spot in the top division.

Also taking six points were Grip It N Sip It and the Rolling Stones. The Latecomers took four points and Fivesome earned two points. The CCCP grabbed one point.

The closest to the pin winners were Rodney Keyes on hole 5 and Coady MacGillivary on hole 14. The 50/50 winner was Brady Schick.

With only four weeks of regular season play left, we return to the blue tees next week. See you then.

Fat Shafts Regain Lead

Peter Hughes tees off on hole #2

Once again, based on the majority of the scores, hitting from the longer blue tees proved to be a challenge this evening. The Fat Shafts were the only team to post a sub 100 team score of 98.

A trio of players, Al Wilkinson, Kevin Wadsworth and Colin McDonald, had the low individual rounds of 30 tonight.

The Fat Shafts took advantage of an off night by the Southpaws to move back into sole possession of top spot. The Dubbers sit five points out of fourth while Grip It N Sip It are one point back in sixth and the Whizbangers are only two points back in seventh.

The Latecomers continue to cling to eighth place with a one point lead over Fivesome for the last spot in the B division of the playoffs. Just five weeks remain in the regular season.

Taking six points in their matches were the Rolling Stones, Wedgers and CCCP. The Fat Shafts and Whizbangers grabbed five points while Grip It N Sip It took four points. The KGB took two while the Dubbers and Southpaws settled for a single point.

The closest to the pin winners tonight were Al Wilkinson  on hole 4 and Jamie Sandercock on hole 13. The 50/50 winner was Matt Knell.

We’re back to the white tees next Wednesday.

UPDATED: The standings have been adjusted and the story should be correct now after a scoring error was found on the sheet on Thursday.

Solid Rounds For Many

Ideal conditions both on the course and weather wise resulted in some much lower scores overall tonight.

Six teams posted sub 100 team totals. Peter Hughes and Andy Koetstra had the low individual rounds shooting one over par 28. Thirteen others shot 32 or better. Good shooting guys.

There was some movement in the standings as the Dubbers moved into fifth place, just four points behind the fourth place KGB. The Latecomers have a slim one point edge on the Fivesome for the potential last spot in the B division come the playoffs. Only six weeks remain in the regular season.

In the nights matches, the Southpaws, Rolling Stones, Fat Shafts and Dubbers all took six points. The Whizbangers earned five points while the Fivesome took four points. The Hackers doubled their season point total by taking two points while one point went to the Wedgers.

The closest to the pin winners were Colin McDonald on hole 3 and Kim Defosse on hole 12. The 50/50 winner was Peter Hughes.

See you next Wednesday on the blue tees.

Feeling Hot Hot Hot

I can’t speak for everyone but the heat and humidity took a toll on my round tonight. I was ready to pack it in after three holes and based on my score, I should have. I like the heat but golfing in a sauna is frowned upon for a reason. But we made it and hopefully we see a cool down soon.

In the evenings matches, the Southpaws moved into a tie for first after the Fat Shafts faltered. The Rolling Stones sit alone in third just ahead of the KGB. There’s still lots of time to make moves and improve your playoff positioning.

Taking all six points in their matches were Grip It N Sip It, Southpaws, Rolling Stones and Whizbangers. The Latecomers and Dubbers grabbed four points each. Two points went to the Fat Shafts and KGB.

The closest to the pin winners were Dave Walker for the second week in a row, this time on hole 2 and Eric Korver on hole 11. The 50/50 winner was Kevin Wadsworth.

See you next Wednesday as we return to the hopefully more forgiving white tees.
