At Least We Have No Hurricanes

Last year our final night of Men’s Night was September 4. For the following two weeks in 2019, we didn’t get enough golfers before the weather went south quickly. I hate to remind you but last year was the second of two Septembers in a row when we had snow. Last September was actually the second wettest on record dating back to 1872.

This year we’ve already played golf into middle of September and plan to keep going as long as the weather holds. The way farming seems to be going we might get some guys back next week if we are lucky.

Last week we had 11 golfers. The lower number was attributable to a cool evening and farming. Despite the low number, skins only went on two holes. Winners included Robin Kimpinski / Blake Hunter ($20.00 on #7) and Jason Gorrell / Sonny Blackbird ($20.00 on #8). Closest to the holes were Pete Ostash on #5 and Reegan Kominko on #9. There were no deuces.

Thinking about tomorrow, there may be a chance of showers but the high is forecasted as 16. Be grateful that conditions are favourable. My home province of Nova Scotia is going to get hit today with either a hurricane or a tropical storm. Tomorrow Shoal Lake may get 1-3 mm. Parts of Nova Scotia may get over 50 mm today. And they also have a storm surge warning which means the winds may be so high that ocean waves might flood the coast. I grew on the east side of the province which today is expected to experience extreme impact of the storm as shown in the map above. So we are doing pretty well for Men’s Night tomorrow.
