Vangemeren Shoots Twenty Six

It’s not officially summer yet but things were definitely heating up on the course tonight with some great scores and the weather. 

We have a new leader for the Individual Low Gross after Nick Vangemeren posted a one under par round of 26. His score combined with a pair of 30’s by Paul Scobie and Tim Donaldson improved the Southpaws Team Low Gross with an 86. 

The Fat Shafts finally faltered and lost their first point of the season as they took five from the Whizbangers who earned a single point by splitting the net in their match. 

The Southpaws, KGB, Dubbers and Rolling Stones all took six points. Grip It N Sip It grabbed four points and the Latecomers took two. 

The closest to the pin winners were Thom Christmann on hole #8 and John Keuning on hole #17. The 50/50 winner was David Schwartz. 

The schedule for next week shows we will be playing the white tees again but I was informed that it’s likely that we will be playing the blue tees instead. See you then.

Let The Games Begin

Much like the start of last season, we didn't know when or how we'd get the season started but it finally happened tonight and hopefully the rest of the year will go smoothly.

To the new golfers joining us this season we are happy to have you join us and we hope you have a lot of fun.

The weather couldn't have been better as 11 teams hit the links for our friendly competition. Unfortunately the Bogies will not be taking part this year which means each week one team will get an automatic six points and can come out at their scheduled time for a round just for fun if they wish. Tonight, it was the Fat Shafts who received the six points and played for fun.

In actual matches there were four teams that took all six points up for grabs. The Hackers, Dubbers, Southpaws and KGB all swept their games. The Latecomers took four points and the CCCP earned two points in their return to play after missing last season. Happy to have them back.

Scott Reilly shot his best round ever, a 28, to earn the early lead for Individual Low Gross. The Southpaws set the mark to beat for Team Low Gross shooting a 99. The Closest to the Pin winners were Coady MacGillivary on Hole #1 and Stephen Westlake on Hole #10. The first 50/50 winner this year was Thom Christmann.

REMINDER: Please make sure you know your tee times and be sure to arrive at the course ONLY 10 MINUTES prior to your tee time. We can not have people hanging out in the parking lot before or after the rounds. Also remember if you haven't paid your league dues, please make sure you give Steve Powell your $30 next week. See you then.
