51 golfers...and most of them on time!

What a great week for the golf course! The warm, dry conditions have resulted in considerable traffic and lots of usage. The high point was Wednesday and Thursday when we had 55 senior golfers Wednesday afternoon, 51 for Mens’ Night in the evening, and then 68 for the Credit Union tournament on Thursday.

 

Thanks to Jenn and Natasha for their excellent work in the Club House during this busy week. Thanks also to Scott Maynes who came out and drove the beer cart during Thursday’s tournament. Despite my suggestion, he refused to go topless for tips.

 

The 51 for Mens’ Night represents our highest total in a couple of years. It did not look promising around 6:15 pm when the surprise rain storm blew in over the golf course. Fortunately, the nice weather returned quickly and with it, cart after cart of golfers.

 

There were lots of good rounds with 10 golfers posting under 40. Among those low scores were five twos, collected on holes 1, 5, and 9. Congratulations to Ryan Merasty, Neuf, Joel Ostash, Murray Salaway, and Stephen David who got to split the $216 deuce pot.

 

Skins went on four holes. Winners included Charlie McNabb and Stephen David ($25.50 on #1), Sport and Carey Findlay ($72.00 on #2 and $25.50 on #7), and Neuf who paired with the dummy card for $25.50 on #3.

 

I just realized that the sheet for the ringer board is on the bulletin board in storage room at the Club House. I will pick it up later and update by the end of the day. There are only two weeks remaining to post scores (August 6 and 13) so start filling your sheet if you have yet to do so. Remember that any gaps in your card will be filled in with triple bogeys.

 

One final reminder…if you want to golf additional holes please turn in your score card before doing so. This has become an increasing issue this year and really needs to stop. To be fair to the late group this past week, there have been multiple groups and golfers guilty of this in 2014. We appreciate your desire to take advantage of the nice conditions but you need to appreciate that others are waiting for you for sometimes close to an hour. If you feel you are too far from the Club House to drive the score card in then you can call me and tell me the scores hole by hole.

That's it for now. Enjoy the last few days of the long weekend.
