Well...the fact that I am updating the blog the night before the next mens' night shows how nice our summer has been this year. It has been too nice to this past week to sit at the computer and spend the hour or so it takes to update everything. I am always reluctant to say this because I am not sure what constitutes a good summer for farmers. Hot weather can be just right for some and too dry for others. Rain can bring much needed moisture or cause overly wet fields. I am not saying that farmers are finicky. Instead, I am coming to understand that farming is a relative thing and good conditions for one person may mean less than ideal conditions for a neighbour. All I understand is that sunny and dry weather is great for golfing. The only bad thing with recent weather is we are losing golfers who also farm...as was the case last week when we dropped down to 33 golfers.
Skins went on three holes. Winners included Jim Geekie / Jason Gorrell ($20 on #1), Ron Huberdeau / Jamie McCutchins ($20 on #4), and Mike Heatherington / Jamie Huberdeau ($20 on #7). The skin on #1 was noteworthy in that it was won with a combined score of -3. Gorrell made a long deuce and Sport helped out with a birdie. The other deuce was recorded by Neuf and the two Jason"s split the $121.50 pot. Closest to the pins were recorded by Brad Swereda on #5 and Neuf on #9.
After having eight sub forty rounds in the previous week, only three golfers went low this week. Robin Kimpinski led the way with a 38 followed by Benton and Neuf with 39's. There were an unusual number of high scores with multiple 49's and several over 50.
Don't forget that tomorrow night is the last night for the ringer board. Given that I am away tomorrow, I had to lock in a couple of bogies last Wednesday. Best of luck for birdies for all those with holes remaining. Good luck to Maynes and Benton who will go head-to-head tomorrow at -7 and -8 respectively.
