Club Toss Anyone?

I just read that the longest throw of a golf club is 235.2 feet or 78.4 yards achieved by Tyson Allen (USA) in Emporia, Kansas, USA, on 14 October 2021. I verified this with a couple of other sources. This doesn't seem long. That's barely half the distance to the back of the ninth hole. I may have to test this out later today with an old club. If this is actually the record, I think that there are a few people in Shoal Lake who could challenge it.

As far as I know, there were no clubs thrown by the 30 golfers last week. Skins went on three holes. Winners included Stephen David/Mike Susinski ($20 on #1), Robin Kimpinski/Theoren Hunter ($20 on #2), and Jason Neufeld/Terry Susinski ($46.88 on #4).

Closest to the pins were Darcy Kowalchuk on #5 and Scott Maynes on #9. Scott converted his birdie to share the $56.25 deuce pot with Phil Ostash.

Including this evening, there are four weeks remaining on the Ringer Board. The final night to record scores is August 24. Currently, Robin Kimpinski leads the way at -7 followed by Scott Maynes at -5.

Congratulations to our Horse Race champion for 2022...Reegan Kominko. Reegan battled back from a lost ball on the first tee to victory by way of a chip-off on the ninth hole. Congratulations also to 2nd Flight winner Jason Gorrell and 3rd Flight winner Ron Susinski.
