One More Night

Well tomorrow is officially the final formal Men's Night. Given that the Club House is closing October 1, tomorrow will be the final evening for skins. That doesn't mean that you can't keep golfing every Wednesday.

As the final evening, it would be great if we could get a boost in attendance. The forecast looks extremely promising. My assumption is that many in the farming/agricultural sector have completed harvest and might be interested and available for the final evening. If not, best of luck in your ongoing work. If you do come out tomorrow, please make sure to thank Francis and Joseph for taking care of us on Men's Nights. Also don't forget tee off at 6:00 pm.

Last week we had 15 golfers. Skins went on three holes. Winners included Blake Hunter all alone ($20.00 on #1), Sonny Blackbird / Kendal Koroscil ($20.00 on #8), and Brad Benton / Stephen David ($25.64 on #9).

Closest to the pins were Scott Maynes on #5 and Reegan Kominko on #9. Neither made a birdie but Brad Benton did make a deuce to claim the $52.51 pot.

Only Two Weeks to Go

 

Here we are on the first day of Fall...the second last formal Men's Night of the year. We know next week, September 30, will be the final evening because the Club House closes on October 1. That doesn't mean we can't keep golfing if the weather permits.  Today is also the first day of Fall...and what a beautiful day it is with a forecasted high of 25 Celsius. Let's not forget that we had snow on September 22 

Last week we had 15 golfers. After a deluge of winning holes the previous week, only a single hole went this time. Stephen David / Brad Benton won $20. on #2.

Closest to the holes were Darcy Kowalchuk on #5 and Phil Ostash on #5. Neither they nor anyone else made a deuce.

Men's Night Continues...Until It Ends

 

Someone asked me when Men's Night ends. I replied "it ends when it ends". We don't set a date for the final evening of play. We just let it happen organically. When the weather is too cool to get us 10 players we look to the forecast the following week. If it doesn't look promising, we call it a year. 

Last Wednesday the weather was fine and we had 13 golfers. Skins went on six holes. Stephen David had the double bonus of being the middle score with a 41 and pairing with his own dummy card. That resulted in three $60.00 skins on #2, #6, and #7.

Other skins went to Charles McKay / Drew Ostash ($20.00 on #3), Joe Shwaluk / Robin Kimpinski ($20.00 on #5), and Chad Tanner / Pete Ostash ($20.00 on #8).

Closest to the holes were Brad Benton on #5 and Darcy Kowalchuk on #9. The $24.37 deuce pot was split by Joe Shwaluk and Robin Kimpinski.

I am hearing that some farmers are getting close to being done...so maybe tomorrow or next week we get a boost in numbers. Here's hoping.

Big Payout Wednesday

For only 12 golfers last week, there was a lot of money won. Skins went on five holes including two big ones as well as a large deuce pot had a solo recipient.

Scott Maynes and Kendal Koroscil combined to win a $96.00 pot on #1 and $121.27 on #5. 

Donovin Tanner claimed the $116.26 deuce pot for his two on #9. Donovin also was closest on both #5 and #9. Finally he teamed with Pete Ostash for two skins ($28.13 on both #6 and 9).

The remaining skin went to Reegan Kominko / Doug Cripps ($20.00 on #2).

Remember tee off tomorrow night at 6:00 pm.

Ringer Board Wrap Up

It's really hard to find a picture of a ringer board online. Speaking of ringer boards, ours wrapped up this past week. Scott Maynes claimed the honours with his -7 score which he locked in with two pars on his remaining holes. Brad Benton dropped a stroke to finish second at -5.

It's Wednesday morning...a week from our last Men's Night. Therefore this blog entry will be quick.

There were 20 golfers last week. Skins went on four holes. Winners included Brad Benton / Kendal Koroscil ($20.63 on #2), Jason Gorrell / Darcy Kowalchuk ($20.00 on #3, $49.39 on #8), and Charles McKay / Nathan Maynes ($20.63 on #7). Closest to the pin on #5 as Keith Martin. No one hit the green on #9 and there were no deuces.
