Two short

We only had eight golfers last Wednesday.  We require 10 for an official Men's Night.  Thanks to those who made it - Sonny Blackbird, Charles Blackbird, Jason Gorrell, Stephen David, Joe Shwaluk, Jason Neufeld, Blake Hunter, and Brad Benton. Hopefully we get to 10 tomorrow. The forecast looks reasonable for this time of year.

The Club House will be open until October so we will run Men's Night as long as the weather and numbers allow it.

The new lucky number

Lucky 13. In some countries, such as Italy, 13 is considered a lucky number. The expression "fare tredici" ("to do 13") means hit the jackpot.  Thirteen was certainly a lucky number last Wednesday.  With farming in full swing, we were sitting at only eight golfers ten minutes before tee off.  Needing ten for Men's Night, we were lucky when five more showed up to play.  

It was a lucky evening for 6 of the 13 who won prizes.  Barry Bone paired with the dummy to win the $20.00 on #7 and $80.02 on #9.  He also scored a deuce on #9 for $52.53.

Skins went on four other holes.  Stephen David and Sonny Blackbird won holes 1, 2, and 3 valued at $29.39, $20.00, and $49.39 respectively.  The final skin went to Austin Hunter / Jason Gorrell who got $20 for their efforts.

Closest to the holes were Gorrell on #5 and Neuf on #9.

On Friday evening we had a great evening of night golf.  Conditions were ideal and all that turned out seemed to have a fun time.  Thanks to Joe Shwaluk for suggesting this and then coordinating.

A reminder that tee off for Men's Night is 6"00 pm for the remainder of the season.

Hello September...please be nice

Even though it is not completely related to Men's Night, I thought that I would begin by promoting the Night Golf event scheduled for this Friday.   Tee off is at 9:00 pm.  It is a four-person, nine-hole Texas scramble.  Cost is $160 per team / $40 per person.  Registration covers kit to illuminate course as well as six high quality LED balls per team.  The restaurant menu available prior to tee off and beverage cart will be available during round. To register sign up at the Club House or call the golf course at 759-2002.

A few of us attended a similar event in Hamiota a few weeks ago and it was a lot of fun.  The forecast for Friday looks ideal.

There were only 15 golfers last week with harvest in full swing.  Skins went on four holes.  Blake Hunter and Robin Kimpinski teamed up twice, winning $71.89 on #6 and $36.26 on #8.  Other winners included Jason Hunter ($21.26 on #1) and Stephen David / Scott Martin ($20 on #7).

Closest to the pins were Brad Benton on #5 and Jason Hunter on #9.  There were no deuces.

Someone asked me yesterday when will we wrap up the Men's Night season.  Usually it is near the end of the month...dependant on the weather.  I bet we have at least 3 or 4 more weeks to go.
