Long weekends are for golfing...not Tinker Bell!

I am finally doing this week's blog entry...but I would rather be golfing right now. My brother-in-law is visiting for the weekend. We played 27 holes yesterday and had hoped to double that today. Unfortunately, the darn rain keeps coming. So I am doing this...and my brother-in-law is watching "Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure" with the kids. If you see us out on the golf course later today or tomorrow, ask him about it. He seems really into it. I think I will hold out until the weather improves...maybe play some Tiger Woods on the Wii or watch the real Mr. Woods wrap up the Bridgestone.

But I digress. Back to Mens' Night. Tom Gibson was the story of the evening as he again was closest to the hole on #9...the fifth time this year he accomplished that feat. We are thinking on naming the hole after him.  He could join other local legends whose names have been immortalized around the golf course. Firstly, there is the Funk Fence across the road behind the second green...in the area where Luke's booming tee shots often come to rest. The Kowalchuk Condominium's are located in the water hazard on the right side of the third fairway. Next, there is the outhouse on #4 which is named after Milt for some reason. There's Gorrell Pasture, adjacent to the par three fifth hole. This was the area of out bounds to the right over which his slicing tee shots travelled in the past before coming back into play. Finally, there is the Best Friends of Brandon Forever Bench near the seventh tee...where Robin and Brad first met and fell for each other.

Speaking of Robin Kimpinski...he lit it up on Wednesday shooting a 32, with four consecutive birdies at one point. Pete Ostash also had a fine round, carding a 34. None of the rest of us could crack 40!

Skins went on five holes. Winners included Milt / Ronnie ($75.50 on #2), Brett Griffin / Devin Allen ($20 on #3), Brad Swereda / Troy Chwaluk ($20 on #6), Keith Martin / Robin Kimpinski ($20 on #7), and Jason Hunter / Chris Kimpinski ($70.50 on #8).

The other closest to the pin was Bob Moffatt on #5 who won a Benny's Gift Certificate as his prize. Bob split the deuce pot with Pete "Walking Cast" Ostash.

The final night for the ringer board is August 21st...so you have three weeks to get scores in, including this coming Wednesday. Any holes for which you have not posted a score will receive a triple bogey.

Next week, we will go to a 6:30 pm start time. Please remember to turn in your cards after completing your round. Not everyone likes sitting around the club house waiting for those of you who play for an extra hour.
