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.

KGB Finally Stumble

It took a while but the KGB finally faltered and the Whizbangers took full advantage to leapfrog them and move into first place in the league. The KGB hadn't lost a point going into tonight's round but the Fat Shafts changed that by taking four points in their match. The Whizbangers grabbed all six points and have now moved into first place by three points.

The heat actually didn't seem to bother too many as some lower rounds were posted. The Fat Shafts had the low team score of 93, one off the Team Low Gross lead. Three other teams also posted sub-100 rounds. The low individual score for the round was shot by Al Wilkinson with a 28. That was one shy of tying the Individual Low Gross score. Peter Hughes shot a score of 29.

The Dubbers were the only other team to take all six points. The Southpaws grabbed five points while the Fivesome and Rolling Stones each took four points. Two points each went to the KGB, Hackers and Bogies while a single point was earned by the Latecomers.

The closest to the pin winners were Eric Korver on hole #5 and Ryan Cuculuzzi on hole #14. The 50/50 winner was Tom St Denis.

Feel The Heat

It's amazing how the weather can turn so quickly. It doesn't seem that long ago the league was delayed starting due to ice and snow and then here tonight it almost felt like a mid summer round in the hot sun. I think we'll take more nights like this.

The ideal conditions didn't translate into overly impressive games as the long blue tees and some tricky pin placements gave us a real challenge. 

Three teams managed to sweep their matches. The KGB, Whizbangers and Bogies all took six points while the Rolling Stones earned five points tonight. The Fat Shafts and Southpaws both grabbed four points while the Latecomers and Hackers took two points each. A single point was awarded to the Fivesome. 

The closest to the pin winners this evening were Marty MacDonald on hole #4 and Mark Kennedy on hole #13. The 50/50 winner was Kory Hietala.

KGB Still Perfect

I don't want to jinx us but after the wet start to the season we've been fortunate the last three weeks to have ideal golfing conditions. Overall the scores were slightly better tonight but teams continue to struggle despite the amazing conditions of the course to start the year. 

The KGB remain the only team that hasn't given up a single point after week three as they swept their match against the Wedgers to earn another six points.

Glenn Lonergan tees off on hole #4.

The Whizbangers, Rolling Stones and Southpaws also took six points. The Fat Shafts and CCCP each earned four points while the Bogies and Latecomers settled for two points. 

The low round of the night was posted by Kyle Wilkinson with a 31. The closest to the pin winners were Jim Turner on hole #3 and Kyle Wilkinson on hole #12. The 50/50 winner was Eric Mofina.

Have a safe and enjoyable Victoria Day long weekend.
