Feel Good Golf

I just read an article on the 37 Best Feelings in Golf. It starts off by stating that golf is a maddening game, one that isn’t kind to us most of the time. But we love it anyway, and it’s the good moments that keep us coming back.

Think about a typical Men's Night. Some rounds are better than others but it is still fun. Occassionally you follow a double bogey with a chip-in birdie.

Of the 37 things noted in the article, my personal favourite is likely knowing a putt is good before it even gets to the hole. From a Shoal Lake perspective, I certainly appreciate a good drive on the third hole more than anywhere else on the course. And from a broader context, I really enjoy when everyone in the group is playing well on a sunny day free from any cares or worries.

Wednesday night was a good night for golf. We had 32 players including several who joined us for the first time this year. Special welcome to the six genetlemen from Waywayseecappo who visited and appeared to have a fun evening. One of them, Chad Tanner, had one of the low rounds of the night at 38. Another, Randy Brandon, hit it to a couple of feet to a far back pin on #5 to get closest to the pin and win a $189.36 deuce pot. Thanks also to Charles, Brandon, Donovin, and Myles for coming to Shoal Lake. You are welcome back at any time.

The low round of the evening belonged to Robin Kimpinski and Scott Maynes with 37's followed by Jason Hunter and Chad Tanner at 38. The other closest to the pin was on #9 by Reegan Kominko.

Skins went on four holes. Winners incuded Wes Arnfinson / Chad Tanner ($39.37 on #2), Darcy Kowalchuk / Rhys Lanouette ($86.25 on #3), Jason Neufeld / Troy Chwaluk ($63.12 on #5), and Blake Hunter / Theoren Hunter ($63.12 on #7).

The golf course will continue to have Friday Nine and Dines every two weeks. The next one is June 26.
