The inaugural evening of 2015 landed on a warm and sunny April 29th. Twenty-four golfers played with many of them teeing off for practice well before the 6:30 pm shotgun. Among those present was Scott Martin who came for his first Mens' Night since 1974.
Skins went on six of nine holes with twelve different golfers getting some cash. Winners included Jason Gorrell and Sonny Blackbird (#20 on #1), Scott Martin / Blake Hunter ($20 on #3), Dan Stokes/ Stephen David ($25.50 on #4), Chris Kimpinski / Brad Benton ($20 on #6), Dale Watson / Jason Neufeld ($20 on #7), and John Gill / Ryan Merasty ($20 on #9).
Closest to the pin on #5 was Terry Brandon while Brad Benton hit it the tightest on #9. Jason Gorrell found the green on the par 4 first hole and made the putt, earning $36 for the only deuce of the evening.
We got the ringer board started with four guys entering scores. The goal is to shoot the lowest 9-hole score by recording what you think will be your best score you can on each hole over the course of the summer. In our case, we will have a Ringer Board running on Mens’ Night running for nine weeks from April 29th to August 19th. If you like your score for a particular hole you lock it in for the year. Darcy Kowalchuk is already -3 with three birdies. Last year’s winner Jason Neufeld finished at -8 for the season so Kowalchuk is off to a good start.
This week the forecast is not ideal…but given that it is only Sunday morning there is lots of time for the weather to turn around for Wednesday. And if it doesn’t get better, there are a few of us who picked up enclosures for our golf carts, so try to find a dry spot to ride.
Good luck to all of you working in farming and agriculture related business. May your seeding get done quickly and your year start off positively…and may we see you at Mens’ Night soon.
