The Ringers Have Been Identified

Last night was the final evening for the 2013 Ringer Board. When the final scores were locked in, the first and second flight winners were determined. Congratulations to Robin Kimpinski, whose -7 score edged out Brad Benton(-6) and Scott Maynes (-5). Scott finished ahead of Jason Neufeld, who also posted a -5, on a count back. Interestingly enough, poor performance on two holes yesterday put Mike Susinski and I into the money for the second flight. Both of us started the evening at -3 but went four over on our final two ringer holes to finish at +1. Like Scott Maynes, I benefited from the count back to finish ahead of Mike.

Thirty seven golfers came to Mens' Night with only six cashing in for skins. After a couple of weeks of lots of holes being won, only three went on Wednesday. Winners included Scott Maynes / John McMullan ($20 on #2), Rob Anderson / John "Butch" Derhak ($20 on #5), and Brent Allen / Jason Gorrell ($20 on #7).

Closest to the pins were Brad Benton on #5 and Gord Turner on #9. There were four deuces, two by Mr. Benton and one each by Chris Kimpinski and Butch.

Mens' Night will continue as long as the weather holds up. If you want to believe those pessimistic meteorologists, that may only be until the end of September. If you want to be optimistic, imagine playing in November with above average temperatures and firm but fair greens. Sure we will have to adjust to an earlier start time...and maybe some of you will have to miss a night because of a child's hockey game or Christmas shopping...but who cares...it will be November. For the more pragmatic among us, let's hope we at least get a week into October, just to say we did it.

In any case, we are good to go next week, Wednesday, August 28th. Tee-off is at 6:30 pm. In honour of Robin's win on the Ringer Board, wear something pink.
