Fat Shafts Five Time Champs

For the fifth consecutive season, the Fat Shafts have clinched the Regular Season title. After taking four points in their match this evening, they made it impossible to be caught by the Southpaws or the Rolling Stones. Those two teams will still have to determine second and third in the final week. Congrats to the team members, Mark Kennedy, Andy Koetstra, Lyle Williams, Stephen Westlake and Gerry Fox.

The last playoff spot in the “A” Division is still unknown although Grip It N Sip It holds a slim three point lead over the KGB.

The Dubbers and Latecomers are assured to be in the “B” Division while the battle for eighth place between the Whizbangers, Fivesome and CCCP will come down to next Wednesday night. Just four points separate the teams.

Tim Donaldson had the low round of the night shooting a 28. Andy Koetstra posted a 29 and Steve Westlake shot a round of 30.

In the other matches tonight, the Southpaws, KGB and CCCP all took six points. The Rolling Stones and Grip It N Sip It earned four points while two points each went to the Whizbangers, Fivesome and Dubbers.

The closest to the pin winners were the Rolling Stones on hole 8 and Ron Eilens on hole 17. The 50/50 winner was Kim Defosse.

A special reminder to the team captains to please let Steve Powell know by next week, how many players you will have out for the final 18 holes of playoffs and the party on September 9th. Steve needs and accurate head count.

Congratulations to Andy Koetstra  who won the Club Championships last weekend. He and Nick Vangemeren needed a three hole playoff to decide things.

We’re back to the white tees for the final week of the regular season. See you then.

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.
