Fat Shafts Remain Perfect

It was another beautiful night for golf as we once again tackled the blue tees. Despite the calm conditions, just two teams were able to shoot rounds in the 90’s tonight. Stephen Westlake had the low round of the evening posting a 29. 

After seven weeks of play, the Fat Shafts have yet to surrender a single point and hold an eight point lead over the Whizbangers. The Southpaws moved up in the standings to sit alone in third place. 

All of the matches tonight were sweeps as all six points went to the Southpaws, Whizbangers, Fat Shafts, K.G.B, C.C.C.P and Dubbers. 

The closest to the pin winners were Tim Donaldson on hole #7 and Josh Hogan on hole #16. The 50/50 winner was Mark Adams.

Glenn Kernaghan Passes Away

I'm saddened to share the news that long time league player and member of the golf course, Glenn Kernaghan passed away peacefully in Napanee on Thursday June 2, 2022 at the age of 84.

A service will be held at a later date but I know we all send our sincerest condolences to Glenn's family and friends.

Glenn was a member of the Wedgers for many years and his laughter and friendship both on the course and at the clubhouse will be missed. 

Southpaws Set Team Low Gross

After a stormy day, the skies cleared and the sun came out to provide excellent golf conditions for our round. 

Many teams took advantage and posted some impressive scores. Five teams shot scores in the 90’s and the Southpaws went even lower by posting an 88 to set the new Team Low Gross score. 

Steve Guindon shot a 28 to move into a tie with Tim Donaldson for the Individual Low Gross. Tim also matched his low of 28 again tonight.

In the evenings matches, the Fat Shafts, Southpaws, Grip It N Sip It and Latecomers all took six points. The Whizbangers earned five points while K.G.B took four points. The Rolling Stones grabbed two points and a single point went to the Fivesome. 

The closest to the pin winners were Kim Defosse who was inches away from an ace on hole #6 and Turner Wallace was best on hole #15. The 50/50 winner was Matt Knell. 

Sorry no video this week. I was too busy looking for my ball. See you next week on the blue tees.

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.

Donaldson Sets New Low Score

Although not as chilly as our first round of the season, tonight was still on the cool side. On the plus side, at least the bugs were staying in to keep warm.

Tim Donaldson had the low round of the evening shooting a 28. That gives him sole possession of the individual low gross lead.

In the evening’s matches, Grip It N Sip It, Southpaws, Rolling Stones, Fat Shafts and Latecomers all took six points. The Whizbangers earned four points while the Dubbers managed two points.

The Closest to the Pin winners were Mike Brummel on Hole #4 and Andy Koetstra on Hole #13. The 50/50 winner was Don Muldoon.

Fat Shafts Alone In First

Despite a few black flies and mosquitoes we had a beautiful night for a round of golf. It was time to play the blue tees again and they proved to be a little difficult for some.

Andy Koetstra had the low round of the night shooting a 30 while Denis Schick posted a 31 and Mark Kennedy had a 32. The Fat Shafts had the low team score with a 95 and moved into sole possession of 1st place. The Southpaws moved up to second while the Whizbangers and Fivesome share third. 

It was nearly a clean sweep for all the matches as the Fat Shafts, Wedgers, Southpaws, Fivesome and K.G.B. all took six points. The Rolling Stones took four points while the Latecomers earned two points. 

Andy Koetstra had the Closest to the Pin on hole #3 while Tim Donaldson had the best shot on hole #12. Dave Powell was the 50/50 winner this week. 

Back to the white tees next week.

Turner Strikes Again

What a difference a week makes. After last weeks frosty round it was nice to feel some warmth and see the sun during our round tonight.

It looks like everyone is settling in nicely and the scores are pretty good for the most part.  The low rounds of the night were turned in by Andy Koetstra and Sandy McLeod who both shot 29. Sandy adds his name to the Individual Low Gross leaderboard. 

The Fat Shafts shaved 10 strokes off their score last week by shooting a score of 90 to set the new mark for Team Low Gross.

In the evenings matches, the Fat Shafts, Fivesome, Dubbers and Whizbangers all took six points. Grip It N Sip It took five points while the Latecomers earned four points. The Southpaws grabbed two points and the Rolling Stones took a single point. 

Jim Turner won his second Closest to the Pin in as many weeks sticking his shot tight on Hole #2 while Colin MacDonald took the honours on Hole #11. The 50/50 winner was Rodney Keyes.

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