A Good Day for a Golf Movie

It doesn't seem to be a great weekend for actual golf, especially today with the heavy rain and thunder. You may have to get your golf fix somewhere else.

There is always golf on TV. Tiger Woods is playing in the final group on a Saturday for the first time in a couple of years. There's also the Canadian Womens' Open.

Or you could watch a golf movie on Netflix, but not Caddyshack or Happy Gilmore which are curiously absent. They also don't have Tin Cup, making me think that Netflix doesn't like golf. They do have a nice documentary about competitive youth golf called The Short Game which is worth watching.

The Ringer Board wrapped up this week. Jamie McCutchin won the first flight with a -8 score, followed by Robin Kimpinski at -7 and Darcy Kowalchuk at -6. Jason Neufeld captured the second flight with a -2 with Scott Martin second at even par.

The prizes for the ringer board were divided as follows - 70% for the first flight (40/20/10) and 30% for the second flight (20/10). With 19 golfers participating, the cash payouts were 1st flight ($76, $38, $19) and 2nd flight ($38, $19).

For the regular Mens' Night there were 24 golfers. Numbers were predictably down a bit given that many of our friends in the farming industry were busy getting ready for harvest.

Skins went on five holes. Winners included Jason Neufeld / Jason Hunter ($34 on #1, $39 on #6), Darren Ostash / Kyler Demond ($24 on #2), Wes Arnfinson / Larry Koroscil ($143 on #3), and Darcy Kowalchuk / Kevin Bartram ($20 on #9).

The $36 deuce pot was claimed by Darcy Kowalchuk. Closest to the pins on #5 and #9 were Ryan Merasty and Darren Ostash respectively.

Before I wrap it up I would like to congratulate Dave Gill who had a hole-in-ne at the Tamarack Golf Tournament this week. Dave's ace was on the 12th hole in Clear Lake and helped him win his match.

Remember, starting next week we go to a 6:00 pm tee off for Mens' Night.
