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.

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.

2019 Playoffs - Round Two

There was a feeling of Autumn to the second round of playoffs this evening as the breeze combined with the cooler temps made for another beautiful night for golf.

In the “A” Flight the Fat Shafts were able to extend their lead slightly over the second place KGB. The Fat Shafts shot 100 and will have a 14 stroke advantage heading into the final round on Saturday with a total score of 188. The KGB shot a 102 tonight to bring their total score to 202. The Dubbers shot 105 and the Whizbangers shot 104 and are tied 20 shots off the pace with a total of 208.

Things are very interesting in the “B” Flight where only two strokes separate the Fivesome, Southpaws and Rolling Stones. The Fivesome shot a 102 for a total of 202. The Southpaws posted a 101 and are in second place, one stroke back at 203. The Rolling Stones shot a 90 to vault them back into the hunt and are two strokes back at 204. The Bogies had a better round this week shooting a 106 but sit 16 strokes back with a 218 total.

The CCCP will have the largest lead to start the day on Saturday in the “C” Flight. After shooting 100 tonight, they have a total of 206 and a 15 stroke cushion over the second place Hackers who shot 107 for a score of 221. The Latecomers also scored 107 but sit in third spot 19 strokes back at 225. The Wedgers matched last weeks score of 113 and are 20 strokes out of first with a 226.

There were eight Closest to the Pin winners tonight. They included Carl Troke, Eric Korver, Carm Herrington, Dustin McLeod, Coady MacGillivary, Stephen Westlake, Derek LeClair and Denis Schick.

We’re done with the white tees now and on Saturday the entire 18 holes will be played from the Blues. A reminder that we tee off at 2:00pm and the wrap up party will follow the round. Bring your Toonies for the putting contest and it could be a chilly evening so bring some warm clothes. Now I sound like your mother. See you Saturday afternoon.
