Respecting the Traditions of Golf

Some say it was the beautiful weather.  Others said it was the positive buzz from previous weeks.  A few even suggested it was because word was out that Keith Martin was returning.  In any case, the golfers came out in full force as we hit our high for the season with 45 players this past Wednesday.  Thanks to everyone who joined us...and special thanks to all the new guys including Paul Wilson, Bob and Bobby Kostesky, Mark Swereda, Aaron Kachan, Brian Allen, Lyle Wilson, Will Moncrief, Tim Rogasky and Justin Mowbray (from Calgary).

One of the challenges with more golfers is obviously an increase in the chance that holes will be tied.   After paying out 7 skins the previous week, only four went this time.  Milt and Charlie won #1, Bobby Kostesky and Mike Pryzner cashed in on #2, Jamie McCutchins and Mark Yanick grabbed the prize for #6 and Lone Wolf Luke Funk won another solo skin on #9.  Speaking of Jamie, he shot a 37 with a new driver and hybrid in play.  He was one of eight golfers to post sub 40 rounds on the evening.  While scoring conditions seemed ideal, there were some who struggled including one golfer who scored a 62.  The closest to the pins were Jason Hunter on #5 and Mark Yanick on #9. Mark made his birdie to split the deuce pot with Milt, who chipped in for 2 on the first hole.

The low round of the night was the previously mentioned Jason Hunter who also had a 37 but won on a countback.  Jason was also the first participant in the ringer board to submit scores for all nine holes.  Don't forget that you must complete your ringer board in the next two weeks.  Only full rounds will be eligible for prizes.  The current leaders are Robin, Ron and Stephen who all sit at -5.

Finally, congratulations to Hubey who failed to make it past the ladies tee on #4.  Mr. Huberdeau showed his respect for the traditions of golf by dropping his trousers to commemorate his weak drive.
