In any case, it was a good night for golf. I was out of town but I assume it was a hot one. A couple of people said it was the hottest Mens' Night ever. This could be hyperbole because I am sure there has been a hotter Wednesday some time in the recent past. It would be safe to assume that it was an extremely warm and humid evening.
We are in the middle of what is commonly referred to as the dog days of summer. The expression "dog days" refers to the hot days of summer originally in areas around the Mediterranean Sea. The coincidence of very warm temperatures in the early civilizations with the rising, at sunrise, of the dog star Sirius led to the association of this phrase with these conditions. The dog days of summer are most commonly experienced in the months of July and August, which typically exhibit among the hottest of summer temperatures.
Skins only went on three holes. Winners were Robin Kimpinski / Ron Coombs ($41 on #5), Joel Ostash / Ron Huberdeau ($27 on #8), and Jamie McCutchin / Ivan Crampain ($22 on #9).
The Kimpinski brothers, Robin and Chris, were closest to holes #5 and 9 respectively. They converted their putts to share the $81 deuce pot with three other people, Sonny Blackbird, Ron Susinski, and Jamie McCutchin.
There were lots of scores entered for the ringer board. The final opportunity to post scores is this coming Wednesday. Right now Jamie McCutchin is in the lead with a -8.
Hopefully we will see another good turnout this coming Wednesday. The hole-in-one pot seems due to go soon, plus the third hole skin should be worth around $150 this week.
If you are free this Sunday between 4 - 6 pm, feel free to drop by new campground adjacent to the golf course. We are having our grand opening / volunteer appreciation event.
