Bonus Golf

Well...while we are closing in on the end of the season we have been fortunate to get some nice weather. While it isn't tank tops and sunscreen conditions, it definitely is great for this time of year. Men's Night will continue as long as the weather and number of players allow for it. To adjust for the earlier sunset, we will continue teeing off at 5:45 pm.

Right now the forecast for this Wednesday is 22 Celsius and sunny. Heck, even the following week is showing 14 Celsius and sunny. I always try to be optimistic about the weather and golf...so I am hopeful that we will have an October Men's Night for the first time since I have been involved.

This past Wednesday we had 14 golfers. Surprisingly, with the small numbers, only one skin was won. Robin Kimpinski and Neuf combined for $36.88 on #4. There were no deuces but Terry Susinski dropped a putt for eagle on #7. Terry also had the closest to the hole on #9. Rob Martens was closest on #5.

For this coming week, we have the always attractive hole-in-one prizes available. Also, the skin on #3 will be worth around $160. Come on out and enjoy the nice weather. Before we know it, we will be starting out our windows looking at snow and wishing spring would arrive.

Shortest Update Ever

 

On Wednesday we had 20 golfers. Skins went on three holes. Winners included Jason Neufeld/Nathan Maynes ($20 on #1), Mike Zenchyshyn ($44.38 on #7), and Doug Cripps/Jason Gorrell ($20 on #9). Closest to #5 was Trevor Wilson and closest to #9 was Pete Ostash. There were no deuces.

It’s Not Over Until It Is Over

 

Well...it is September. While there are some people who really enjoy fall and winter, I expect that most people wish we had another month or so of summer. It is usually this week that we see the flood of social media posts bemoaning the end of the sunny season.

Personally, I ascribe to the "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" camp. Sure I prefer summer over other seasons. Yes, I would like another eight weeks of great weather. But I had a good summer break and I am grateful that I had it. 

Plus the golf season isn't over. Last year we golfed into mid-October. And as is our practice, Men's Night will run until the weather or low numbers shut down the season for us.

This past Wednesday we had 25 golfers. Robin Kimpinski recorded the lowest score of the season with a blistering 33. When asked about it Robin said, "I've been dreaming about this round all summer". Others were polled about what they have dreamt about this summer. Jason Gorrell referenced Disneyland. Scott Maynes said his summer dreams have been filled with thoughts of grass cutting and trimming.

Scoring wasn't easy for everyone. The middle score for the evening was 46, the most common score was 47 for 5 guys, and there were a few over 50.

Robin combined with Bill Flynn for two skins, $20.00 on #6 and $31.88 on #8. Other skins went to Stephen David/Rob Huberdeau ($20 on #1), Ash Brandon ($50.63 on #5), and Jason Gorrell/Nathan Maynes ($31.88 on #9).

Ash Brandon's win on #5 was noteworthy for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it represented one of the few times this year anyone won a hole when paired with the dummy card. Also, Ash had a two on the hole which also got him the $46.88 deuce pot.

The closest to on #5 was Robin and the closest to on #9 was Phil Ostash.

So far this year there has been $3138.16 in prize money spread out among 48 winners. The current money leader is Phil Ostash with $211.24 followed by Nathan Maynes with $166.90.

Remember we are now at 6:00 pm tee off for the remainder of the season.
