A Quick Update

There were 36 golfers on Men's Night which was our highest turnout of the year. Six skins went which is high for over 30 golfers. Winners included Nick Roulette / Theoren Hunter ($41.25 on #1), Brad Benton / Kendal Koroscil ($22.50 on #3), Darcy Kowalchuk / Logan Tanner ($57.50 on #4 and $64.25 on #7), Scott Maynes / Myles Shingoose ($71.25 on #5), and Alex Maddess / Keith Martin ($80.00 on #8).

Closest to the holes were Charles McKay on #5 and Pete Ostash on #9. The $67.50 deuce pot was claimed by Jason Neufeld.

An Unfortunate Delay

Each year we lose 1-2 Men's Nights due to heavy rain. Sometimes numbers are low at the start or end of the season due to cooler temperatures. However, losing four in a row this year due to health orders really sucked. I can't imagine many safer places for viral transmission than having 2-4 guys playing golf on the 70-75 acres that make up our golf course. I understand the need for health orders but it was hard to understand why we couldn't golf when 100's of people could be jammed in Walmarts across the province.

Fortunately, that month-long shutdown is over and we were able to return to play this past Wednesday. There were 30 golfers this week. Scott Maynes had a solid evening, recording a score of 35 with three birdies. Scott also combined with Alexander Maddess for skins on two holes ($48.75 on #3 and $64.38 on #6). Those were the only skins of the evening.

Closest to the hole on #5 was Nathan Maynes and on #9 was Donovin Tanner. The only deuce of the evening was Kendal Koroscil who chipped in from in front of #9. He won $56.25 for his efforts.

Hopefully, sometime in the near future, they will open patios and the restaurant so that we can have some food together after the round and support Francis's business even further.

For the record, I have no idea how big the golf course is. I checked online and it suggested that most golf courses range between 100-180 acres with a typical 9 hole running around 70. I also know the campground is 14 acres so I just estimated.
