Thanks for a great year!

I am pretty sure the image above is intended for Christmas holidays...but it is fitting as our 2016 Men's Night season draws to a close.

I will quickly do a recap of this past week before taking some time to remember some of the neat things that happened on Wednesdays this spring, summer, and early fall.

Wednesday was our final Men's Night. While only 10 golfers made it was still a fun way to wrap up the year.

Skins went on four holes. Winners included Dan Stokes / Stephen David ($20 on #1), Austin Hunter / Wes Arnfinson ($20 on #3, $20 on #6), and Joe Shwaluk / Brad Benton ($20 on #9).

Closest to the pins were Dan on #5 and Joe on #9. There were no deuces recorded.

So with this Wednesday duly noted, here are some of the interesting happenings of 2016:
- Our season started on April 27 and went to September 28, spanning 23 weeks.
- We had two rain outs...some extremely hot days, some lightning, and a tornado warning.
- Brad Benton edged out Scott Maynes on the last night of the ringer board.
- There were multiple nights when no one recorded closest to on a par 3.
- Robin Kimpinski helped us add the word "emu" to the golf bird-related lexicon.
- I won the season money title, sneaking past Blake Hunter in the final two weeks.
- There were 50 people who won money during the season.
- We didn't have a single night with more than 40 golfers.
- Scott Martin scored the deuce of the year with a 95 yard shot on #2 back in May.
- High score for the year was a 63. That's nine maxes.

Thanks to everyone who came out during the season and thanks to the Club House crew for taking care of us on Wednesdays. Finally, thanks to our wives and significant others for finding ways to fill their Wednesday evenings alone without us. We are going to be home now for the winter. Like us, you'll probably be counting down the days until golf begins again in 2017.

Next year I predict two nights of 50 golfers, two holes in one, and an April 19th start.

Until next year...take care and remember...there's always the Golf Channel.
