Still Time For Moves

With just two weeks of regular season play remaining, there’s still plenty left to be decided.

Both the Southpaws and Rolling Stones have a chance to catch the first place Fat Shafts who hold a nine point lead.

The fourth spot in the top playoff division is also yet to be determined as Grip It N Sip It and KGB battle it out. The Dubbers are mathematically still in the mix.

The “B” Division is also anyone’s guess as several teams can solidify their spot or drop to the “C” Division. Next week could clear things up a bit more.

Taking all six points tonight were the Fat Shafts, Southpaws, Grip It N Sip It, Fivesome and the Latecomers. The Rolling Stones earned five points while the KGB took one point.

Tim Donaldson had the low round of the night shooting a 28 while Peter Hughes posted a 29.

The closest to the pin winners were Terry Letch on hole 7 and Ian Rogers on hole 16. The 50/50 winner was Al Wilkinson.

We’re back to the blue tees next week. See you then.

For those members taking part in the Club Championships this weekend, best of luck and think dry thoughts.

2022 Playoffs - Week One Results

After a season of dry weather on Wednesday nights, we were subjected to some damp conditions at times as we began the 2022 Playoffs. 

Perhaps it was the rain or maybe playing from the blue tees but scoring overall was on the high side tonight. The end result was a close competition in all three divisions with two weeks remaining. The low rounds of the evening were turned in by Gerry Fox and Colin MacDonald who both shot 30. 

The standings after week one are below. The 50/50 winner was Rob Campbell and the closest to the pin winners were as follows:

Steve Guindon - Hole #1

Ross Prophet - Hole # 4

Jimmy Rogers - Hole #7

Gerry Fox - Hole #10

Andy Koetstra - Hole #13

Gerry Fox - Hole #16

CCCP Are On The Board

I hope you had your bug spray handy when you took to the links tonight. The annoying biters were out in full force on this overcast but comfortable evening for golf. 

The blue tees once again proved to be an overall challenge as scoring was a bit higher this round. Both the Rolling Stones and Fat Shafts shot a team score of 97 to be the only teams in double digits.

Taking all six points in their matches were Grip It N Sip It, Fat Shafts and CCCP who scored their first points of the season. The Whizbangers took five points while the Latecomers and Rolling Stones both grabbed four points. The Dubbers and Southpaws earned two points each while a single point went to K.G.B.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Tom St. Denis on hole #5 and Mark Kennedy on hole #14. The 50/50 winner was Jim Rogers. 

We were sorry to see Lyle Williams caught the “Blue Tees Flu” but hope he’s feeling better and back next week when we play the white tees. See you then.

Fivesome Jump To Fourth

With the standings being as tight as they are, it's no surprise that things can change quickly one week to the next.

For the Fivesome, who took five points tonight, that moved them up several places into fourth place, albeit by a slim margin.

In other action tonight, the CCCP and Latecomers were the only teams to sweep all six points. The Fat Shafts took five points while the Rolling Stones and Southpaws earned four points each. The Dubbers and KGB took two points while the Wedgers and Whizbangers settled for single points each.

The Closest to the Pin winners tonight were Andrew Brennan on hole #7 and Eric Korver on hole #16. The 50/50 winner was Ian Rogers.

No video this week. I was bribed to erase all evidence. See you next Wednesday.

Fat Shafts Set New Low

The heat of the night seemed to have a different effect on the golfers this evening than it did last week as some much lower rounds were posted overall.

Andy Koetstra tied Paul Scobie’s low score of even par 27 to earn a share of the Individual Low Gross lead. Koetstra’s score also combined with teammates Stephen Westlake and Mark Kennedy to set the new Team Low Gross mark by shooting an 88. Special mention to Carl Troke who had his best round of the year posting a 32 with back to back birdies on his last two holes.

The matches were all sweeps tonight as the Fat Shafts, Whizbangers, Dubbers, Southpaws, Latecomers and KGB all took six points.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Tyler Donaldson on hole #2 and Jimmy Rogers on hole #11. The 50/50 winner was Steve Guindon.

Crowded Low Gross

The score of 29 was a popular one tonight as four golfers posted this low score.

Al Wilkinson on hole #8.

Paul Scobie, Denis Schick, Andy Koetstra and Rick Dean now hold a share of the Individual Low Gross lead with Tim Donaldson and Al Wilkinson.

The KGB who already held the Team Low Gross lead matched their low total of 92 again this evening but the Whizbangers also shot 92 and share that mark as well.

The Whizbangers took six points to move into second place behind the Fat Shafts who also earned six points to remain on top. The KGB grabbed five points while the Rolling Stones and Wedgers each took four. The CCCP and Fivesome halved their match for three points each. The Latecomers and Hackers both snagged two points while the Bogies left with a single point.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Mark Kennedy on hole #4 and Derek LeClair on hole #13. The 50/50 winner was Jimmy Rogers.
