Horse Race tournament

The first annual horse race tournament was held on August 13th.  Twenty two golfers played an 18 hole qualifying event before being split into two flights for the horse race.   During the second portion of the event, eleven guys teed off on the first hole, with the highest score being eliminated each hole until one man remained.
After the horse race portion was completed, the top three finshers in each pool were awarded prizes.  Robin Kimpinski won the first flight, with Darcy Kowalchuk as runner-up, and Phil Ostash in third. Escape artist Wes Arnfinson claimed top spot in the second flight, with Doug Koroscil placing second, and Tim from Winnipeg coming in third.

It is worth noting that we held a calcutta in conjunction with the horse race. Those in attendance bid on the golfers that they thought would be most successful.  When the final tally was completed, the total bids surpassed $1300.  Interestingly, the prizes for the top 3 calcutta picks in each pool exceeded the prize money for the actual winners.

Thanks to Scott Maynes for his great work in planning and organizing this event.  Like many others, I can't wait for the second installment next year.
