What A Smoke Show

The unprecedented wildfire season continues to bring very bad air quality to our area but luckily we got our round in tonight before the worst of it arrived.

Unfortunately a couple of teams must have had players get lost in the haze as they had to forfeit their matches this evening.

Denis Schick and Andy Koetstra played well tonight and both shot two over par rounds of 29. Al Wilkinson and Dave Horner both shot 30.

In the nights matches, the Fat Shafts, Whizbangers, KGB, CCCP and Rolling Stones took six points each. The Southpaws earned four points while the Fivesome took two points.

The closest to the pin winners were Ron Eliens on hole 1 and Dave Walker on hole 10. The 50/50 winner was Jared Culkin.

See you next Wednesday as we tackle the blue tees again.

Horner On Fire Tonight

With the local fire ban lifted, David Horner of the KGB wasted no time turning up the heat by shooting a 2 under par round of 25 tonight. This gives Horner the lead for the Individual Low Gross.

The team scores were equally impressive tonight with the KGB shooting 88, the Fat Shafts posted a 90 and the Southpaws a 92.

In the evenings matches the Dubbers, KGB, Fat Shafts, Latecomers and Southpaws all took six points. The Fivesome grabbed five points while the Wedgers took one point.

The closest to the pin winners were David Horner on hole 8 and Tom St. Denis on hole 17. The 50/50 winner was Laurie Brown.

We hit the halfway point of the season next week when we return to the blue tees.

2022 Playoffs - Week Two Results

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

The Heat Is On

That was hotter than a Leafs fan after another game seven collapse out there tonight. 

Summer arrived in full force as the temperature was above 30 degrees when we teed off for tonight’s round. A return to the blue tees also saw some impressive scores overall. Stephen Westlake had the low round of the night shooting a 29. 

In the evenings matches the Southpaws and Grip It N Sip It had a close game as they tied and split the gross but the Southpaws grabbed the net by one. So the Southpaws took four points and Grip It N Sip It earned two points. 

In the other matches, the Fat Shafts, Latecomers, Dubbers and K.G.B. all swept six points. Meanwhile, the Fivesome took four points and the Wedgers got two points. 

The Fat Shafts increased their lead in first to 12 points ahead of the Southpaws. 

The closest to the pin winners were Tyler Donaldson on hole #9 and David Horner on hole #18. The 50/50 winner was Neil Nelson. 

We should be back to the white tees next week. See you there.

Hot and Humid Round

The summer hasn't officially arrived yet but you'd never know that based on the conditions we faced on night two of league play and the first round playing from the blue tees.

The added distance of the blues always provides an extra challenge and judging by the scores for most of us that was the case.

The low round of the night was 30, shot by both Dave Horner and Tim Donaldson. A new Team Low Gross was turned in by the KGB with a 97.

In the evenings matches, the Wedgers, Southpaws, KGB, Whizbangers and Fat Shafts all took six points. The Fivesome grabbed four points while the Rolling Stones took two points.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Derick LeClair on hole #2 and Brent Donnan on hole #11. The 50/50 winner was Rick Dean.

We're back to the white tees next week. See you then.
