Ringers, shanks and hair gel

Three weeks in a row with over 40 golfers...at this rate we might have to consider adding another cart girl.

Skins tonight were won by Chris & Aaron Short (#4), Neuf & Dale (#5), Matt Yanick (#7) and Jamie &  Ron G. (#9).  The deuce pot was split by Keith Martin and Kyle from Central S.  Keith's two followed a closest to the pin shot on #5, which won him some hair care products from Trendsetters.  While Keith was less than enthusiastic about this prize, Milt was heard exclaiming that hair care products were the best prize ever. Interestingly enough, Scott Maynes' closest to on 9 did not result in a share of the deuce pot.

The ringer board wrapped up tonight win Robin claiming first with a -5 score after a countback with Brad who also was five under.  Milt, Ron, Chris, Luke, and Stephen were all at -4 but Chris finished in 3rd on a countback.  After hearing complaints from the crowd such as "How can we ever beat a score like Milt's" and "Ringer boards are just for the handsome golfers who also play well", a quick decision was made to amend the prizes for next year. When we run it in 2011, we will pay prizes in a couple of flights to give the ugly and poor golfers a chance.

Speaking of plans for next year, it has also been suggested that we cap the scoring on any Mens' Night hole at 3 over par to speed up play.  This will also help golfers avoid having to enter things like a 12 for hole #3 (as happened this past week for one unlucky Hydro employee).  We are also open to any other suggestions that you may have to improve the quality of our Mens' Night.  For example, Wes suggested that we only allow people 50 years old and under to play next year...and that suggestion is currently being considered by our Executive.

Personally, I would like to apologize to the golfers in my group who were almost struck by golf balls as the result of my numerous shanks on Wednesday.  I actually almost hit Robin and Neuf twice on hole #7...the same hole that Brad Benton made famous at the Eagles' Tournament.

Don't forget that next week's shotgun start begins at 6:30 pm.
