Dean Sinks Hole-in-One

The hole-in-one pot will be starting fresh next week after Rick Dean's tee shot on hole #2 this evening found the bottom of the cup.

Rick Dean is all smiles after sinking a hole-in-one tonight.

His choice of holes couldn't have been better as it also turned out to be the closest to the pin hole on the front nine this evening. Kyle Wilkinson was closest on the back nine with his tee shot going just a bit long on hole #11.

On what was the coolest evening we've had in some time we might have expected the scores to be pretty good overall but that wasn't the case as the majority of the rounds tonight were a tad high. Kyle Wilkinson shot a 28 for the lowest round of the night but not one team was able to score under 100.

Four teams swept their matches as the Dubbers, Rolling Stones, Whizbangers and Southpaws all took six points. The KGB grabbed five points while the Wedgers moved out of last place by taking four points. The Fivesome earned two points and a single point went to the CCCP. Dave Reid was this weeks 50/50 winner.

Changes on the Leaderboard

With only seven weeks of regular season play remaining in the league, time is starting to grow short to jockey for your playoff positions.

Steve Guindon take aim at the 4th hole.

The top four teams are starting to pull away from the rest of the pack however a lot can change in a short time.

Tonight the conditions were much more comfortable following last weeks round in the sauna and the Fat Shafts took advantage to shoot a total of 91 to take over the Team Low Gross. Paul Reid also joined Tim Donaldson and Peter Hughes for a share of the Individual Low Gross lead after posting a round of 27.

The Fat Shafts, KGB, Southpaws and Dubbers all took six points. Grabbing four points each were the Latecomers and Hackers while the Bogies and Rolling Stones each earned two points.

The closest to the pin winners were Paul Reid on hole #1 and Juddy Timson on hole #10. The 50/50 winner for the second time in three weeks was Benny Brock.

Swing & Sweat

With temperatures in the 30's and feeling like the 40's with the humidity, I think we can all cut ourselves a break if we didn't golf as well as usual. The sweltering heat and still air made playing a bit tougher and the scores for the night proved that.

The low round turned in by several golfers was 32 which is a tad higher than normal. I know by the end of my round, gripping the club was proving difficult at times but we made it. Hopefully by next week the temps drop a few degrees.

Four teams managed to sweep all their matches as the KGB, Hackers, Fat Shafts and Rolling Stones each took six points. The Dubbers and Southpaws earned four points each while the Bogies and Wedgers took two points each.

The closest to the pin winners were Don St.Denis on hole #9 and Kyle Wilkinson on hole #18. The 50/50 winner this week was Eric Korver.

Fat Shafts Tie Low Gross

The way things have been going this season we were prepared for the possibility of another rain out but luckily the wet weather passed us by and allowed us to get our round in this evening.

After coming close a few times, the Fat Shafts were able to finally tie the KGB for the Team Low Gross lead. Andy Koetstra shot 28, Stephen Westlake posted a 29 and Mark Kennedy shot 35 to combine for a 92. Paul Scobie also shot a one-over 28 to tie for the low round of the night. A total of five teams managed to post sub-100 team scores.

It was another feast or famine night in the matches as the Bogies, Fivesome, Latecomers, KGB, Fat Shafts and Southpaws all took six points. The closest to the pin winners were Denis Schick on hole #8 and Marty MacDonald on hole #17. The 50/50 winner was Benny Brock.

Feeling The Blues

On the final night of Spring we were treated to some ideal golf conditions following last weeks cancelled round.

Don Muldoon says thanks! Well done.

There was no rain, lightning or strong winds but the blue tees proved to be a challenge all on their own for many.

Only two teams managed to post a total under 100 with Al Wilkinson and Andy Koetstra shooting 29 for the low scores of the evening. 

Sweeping all six points in their matches were the Rolling Stones, Wedgers, Fat Shafts and Bogies. The KGB took five points while the Dubbers earned four points. The Latecomers grabbed two points and the Whizbangers took a single point on the night. 

The closest to the pin winners were Andy Koetstra on hole #7 and Ralph Lambert on hole #16. The 50/50 winner was Paul Reid.

Beautiful But Cancelled

Heading to the golf course tonight I wondered if I should have used a boat instead of my car as the torrential rain and lightning moved in as expected.

And also as expected it was gone as quickly as it came and by 6pm we were ready to golf on a beautiful evening.

The only problem was not enough league members showed up to play the round as the weather scared them off.

Those that did show up either went home or stuck around to play in a fun best ball scramble. The winning team at 4-under-par consisted of Denis Schick, Tom St.Denis, Mark Kennedy, Lyle Williams and Benny Brock.

See you next week.

How Sweep It Is

After a stumble last week, the KGB were able to take advantage of some help by the Southpaws to regain top spot in the league. However, the lead is a slim one with the lefties, Fat Shafts, Whizbangers and Rolling Stones all in the hunt.

It was feast or famine as we played from the blue tees this evening. All six matches were clean sweeps with the CCCP, Southpaws, KGB, Rolling Stones, Fat Shafts and Hackers taking all six points up for grabs.

The low team score was posted by the Fat Shaft with a 96. The low scores for the night were turned in by Andy Koetstra and Tim Donaldson who both shot 29. Andy also grabbed the closest to the pin on hole #15 while Carl Troke was most accurate on hole #6. The 50/50 winner was Kim Defosse.
