A Rare Winter Blog Update

Since the weather is mild this week, I thought it would be a good time to do a rare winter Men’s Night update. Always an optimist or at least always an optimist when it isn’t raining on Men’s Night, I am going to predict an extremely early start. Mark Wednesday, April 20 on your calendar. That’s only 73 days from today. If you think about it, that isn't a great deal of time.

Firstly, you can check out the new Order of Merit which tracks previous season money leaders and Ringer Board winners. It is found on the desktop version of this blog or at this link.

To get us in the mindset for the upcoming season, here is a quick review of 2022:

• Phil Ostash was the leading money winner for the season with $211.24 finishing almost $40 ahead of second-place finisher Nathan Maynes.
• Fifty-two different people won money during the season.
• On July 6, Phil and Ryden Lanouette combined for $194.29 in skins.
• Terry Brandon won $123.76 on September 28 when he paired with the dummy card.
• Robin Kimpinski won the ringer board with a score of -7, edging Scott Maynes by 1 stroke.
• Speaking of Robin, he spent last year as the head greenskeeper. Working with his assistants Rob and Thomas, they battled erratic weather and water line breaks to have the course in excellent shape.
• It was a slightly late start to the season with the first Men’s Night on May 11.
• There were 19 Men’s Nights, with weather-related cancellations on May 18 and September 14.
• On May 26, five different golfers scored deuces.
• June numbers were down to a stretch of poor weather which included rainy, wet conditions and lots of wind.
• The most golfers on a single evening was 45 on July 13.
• Although not Men’s Night exactly, Reegan Kominko won the Horse Race on July 23.
• On August 10, seven golfers scored less than 40.
• On August 17, seven of nine skins were won.
• Robin also had the lowest score of the season with a 33 on August 31.
• We had our first October Men’s Night when thirteen golfers bundled up and showed up.
• There were no holes-in-one recorded.

For anyone contemplating new clubs, PXG Canada has their annual sale on and prices are lower than they were last year. Their 211 line has been updated and price points are excellent…$260 for the driver, $195 for fairways, and $180 for the hybrids. The clubs are customizable and include several shaft options. It takes 10-14 days for assembly and delivery. More info is available at https://www.pxg.com/en-ca/home
