2022 Season Is Almost Here

If all goes well and Mother Nature doesn't get any crazy plans, we should be starting another season of golf in the near future. I hope you all made it through another long cold and snowy winter.

No official dates have been released at this point of course, but we're starting to make plans for the upcoming summer of fun on the links. Much like the last two years, we're hoping for the best with regards to Covid19 but will adapt as needed. Once I have an outline for the season and a schedule, I'll try to get it posted here ASAP.

If your team will be in need of players this season, please don't hesitate to get in touch with Steve Powell or touch base with Tom at the golf course and I'm sure they'll help figure things out. Also, if you know someone looking to play in the league, have them reach out and I know they'll do their best to fill out teams and find a spot for them.

In the meantime, polish up your clubs and clean your balls in preparation for the good times ahead.

Seasons Greetings Golfers

As 2021 is coming to an end, we just want to take a brief moment to wish all of our league members and your families all the best this holiday season.

With appreciation for our time spent together during this past year, we extend our very best wishes for a Happy Holiday and may the joy that comes with this season follow you throughout the coming New Year.

Stay Safe and see you in the Spring!

Final 2021 Playoff Results

With the final nine holes in the books, we're officially done league play for the season. Over the last nine holes leads were increased or shrunk but ultimately not much changed in the standings.

The regular season champs, the Fat Shafts, were able to stretch their lead over the second place K.G.B. to claim the "A" Flight Playoff title by a 13 stroke margin. The Fat Shafts posted a four round total of 386 while the K.G.B. shot a total of 399. The Southpaws gained some ground but settled for third place shooting 402 while the Dubbers finished with a total of 426.

In the end the "B" Flight was no contest as the Rolling Stones grabbed top spot by shooting a four round total of 398. The Whizbangers were in second heading to the final round but unfortunately scheduling conflicts meant the couldn't field a team for the last round. This allowed the Fivesome to slip past the Hackers by one stroke into second place shooting 440 and 441 respectively.

Over in the "C" Flight, the Latecomers stumbled on the last night and their lead shrunk by five strokes but they still took the title by nine strokes shooting a 431. The C.C.C.P. gained some ground but had to settle for second place while the Wedgers were a little further back in third.

The Closest to the Pin winners on the final night were:

Hole 8 - Don Muldoon

Hole 9 - Adam Farkas

Hole 17 - Kevin Wadsworth

Hole 18 - Kevin Wadsworth

Our thanks to Stephen Powell for once again doing so much work behind the scenes to keep us going during another difficult and uncertain season. Thanks also to Alida and Tom for their work to keep things safe and organized at the clubhouse and for the excellent playing conditions all season long.

The Powell family also want to express their sincere thanks to those members who generously donated to the Downie-Wenjack fund in memory of Jerry Powell. You helped to donate $400 out of a total of $900 raised for the fund.

Steve, Alida and Tom also wanted to thank all of you for your cooperation during these Covid times to make the league run smoothly once again. If you know anyone who is interested in playing next year, please let them know.

On a personal note, I know this has been another tough season and each week it was great to see so many familiar and new faces on the course. The social aspect has changed somewhat without the shotgun start but you made it work and enjoyable each and every week. Fingers crossed the final 18 holes and wrap-up party return next season. If all goes well, the league blog will return in 2022, either here or at another site but I'll let you know about that in time.This site has been proving quite finicky in recent weeks.

Just a reminder, for those who would still like to get out and play, we are still meeting each Wednesday night at 5:30pm to play for fun. It's usually a friendly round of best ball in teams so we hope to see you out. If not, have a safe and enjoyable Fall and Winter and we'll see you next season.

Week Three Results

It was an absolutely perfect night for round three of the playoffs and our first night playing from the white tees and this allowed some teams to make some small moves. But with only one week remaining, will they be able to make up the difference?

In the "A" Flight the Fat Shafts were able to increase their lead slightly and will take a six stroke advantage over the KGB into the final nine holes. The Southpaws sit 12 strokes out while the Dubbers have slipped 25 shots back.

The Rolling Stones continue to have a commanding lead over the Whizbangers, although that lead did shrink slightly after tonight's round and the Stones sit in first with a 18 stroke advantage.

In the "C" Flight it also appears to be over as the Latecomers maintained their 14 stroke advantage going into week four ahead of the CCCP.

The low round of the evening was shared by Andy Koetstra, Steve Westlake and Tim Donaldson who all shot 29. Scott Reilly and Denis Schick both shot 30.The Closest to the Pin winners were Andy Koetstra on hole #7 and Adam Farkas on hole #16.
