Regular Season Nearly Done

I don't know if it was the heat or the blue tees but low scoring rounds were hard to come by tonight with not one team shooting a sub-100 round. Andy Koetstra had the lowest individual score of the night shooting a 31.

With just one week left to play, playoff positions have yet to be decided officially and a lot could change in the final round next Wednesday night. Once things have been finalized and I have received the playoff schedule and format, I will try to get it up here as quickly as possible.

In tonight's action the Whizbangers, Dubbers and Southpaws all took six points. The Fat Shafts, Wedgers and KGB all earned four points while two points each went to the Rolling Stones, Fivesome and CCCP.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Dave Schwartz on hole #1 and Eric Korver on hole #10. The 50/50 winner was Kory Hietala.

Scobie Shoots Par

The blue tees proved to be a challenge for some again this week but for some it was a piece of cake. Paul Scobie had the low round of the night posting an even par 27.

Marsh Ferguson fires away at hole 7.

Al Wilkinson and Andy Koetstra both shot two over 29 for the evening.

In the nights matches, four teams swept their opponents as the KGB, Southpaws, Fat Shafts and Dubbers all took six points. The Rolling Stones and CCCP came close by earning five points each while the Whizbangers and Hackers each settled for single points. The standings continue to be close with no one team running away with it at this point of the season.

The Closest to the Pin winners tonight were Randy Conley on hole #8 and Kal Hietala on hole #17. The 50/50 winner was Tom St.Denis. See you next week. 

Koetstra and Hietala are Aces

It was nice to get back to golf again after last weeks rain out and two golfers had even more reason to celebrate the round.

Andy Koetstra and Kory Hietala each shot a hole-in-one this evening. For Hietala it came on hole 3 with a 7 iron and for Koetstra it was jarred on hole 15 with a PW.

Andy and Kory all smiles after their aces tonight.

Congratulations to both of you.

The standings saw a bit of movement as the Fivesome dropped out of third place while the Whizbangers now have some company in second with the KGB. The Fat Shafts increased their lead atop the standings with the low round of the night. Five teams in total  posted scores in the 90’s.

Grabbing all six points in their matches tonight were the KGB, CCCP, Dubbers, Southpaws and the Fat Shafts. The Rolling Stones earned four points while the Whizbangers took two points.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Mark Adams on hole #7 and Marsh Ferguson on hole #16. The 50/50 winner was Denis Schick.

Feel The Heat

It's amazing how the weather can turn so quickly. It doesn't seem that long ago the league was delayed starting due to ice and snow and then here tonight it almost felt like a mid summer round in the hot sun. I think we'll take more nights like this.

The ideal conditions didn't translate into overly impressive games as the long blue tees and some tricky pin placements gave us a real challenge. 

Three teams managed to sweep their matches. The KGB, Whizbangers and Bogies all took six points while the Rolling Stones earned five points tonight. The Fat Shafts and Southpaws both grabbed four points while the Latecomers and Hackers took two points each. A single point was awarded to the Fivesome. 

The closest to the pin winners this evening were Marty MacDonald on hole #4 and Mark Kennedy on hole #13. The 50/50 winner was Kory Hietala.
