There's still time

Mens'  Night is still planned for this week.  Our general rule of thumb is it ends when people stop showing up.  That usually corresponds to when the weather turns significantly enough so that even the diehards don't come out. That isn't the case yet...so hopefully we will see you at 6:00 pm on Wednesday. The forecast looks promising.  For reference, our final round of the year in 2016 was September 28th.

Last week we only had 10 golfers but it was a good evening. It was our 20th Men's Night of the season.  Only one skin was won by Robin Kimpinski and Ian Paterson who received $20 for their efforts.  Closest to the pins were Brad Benton on #5 and Scott Maynes on #9. Only Maynes birdied to claim the $36 deuce pot.

Usually near the end of the summer, I note some highlights of the year that was.  So here are some of the interesting happenings of 2017:
- Our season started on May 3rd and so far it has spanned 21 weeks.
- We had one lost evening due to rain, wind, and cold.
- Jamie McCutchin edged out Scott Maynes on the last night of the ringer board.
- There were multiple nights when no one recorded closest to on a par 3.
- We had a great feature about the golf course in the Brandon Sun.
- Our campground has a new playground.
- Robin Kimpinski has run away with the season money total.
- There have been 50 people who won money during the season.
- We didn't have a single night with more than 40 golfers. That was the second year in the row in which this has been the case.  Our single best turnout in 2017 was 35 golfers.
- Chris Kimpinski was the Horse Race champion.
- High score for the year was a 59 and low score was 33.
- There were no holes-in-ones with the last one recorded in 2012.

There are some interesting developments with respect to the golf course.  For example, our bathroom facility on the golf course is being completed as we speak.   It will have male and female washrooms with showers as well as a central utility room with a washer and dryer.

Also, on September 30 we have our second annual NHL Hat Auction fundraiser.  There will be a roast beef supper prior to the auction.
