A Great Wednesday Evening

Usually when I miss Men's Night I am a little disappointed. This past week I was fine not being there. Instead I was sitting at the Shoal Lake Airport watching the 25th anniversary air show featuring the Canadian Forces 431 Air Demonstration Squadron, commonly known as the Snowbirds.

Some people wondered if we would cancel last week because of the air show.  We decided to run Mens' night as scheduled and allow people to choose how to spend their evening.  I chose to watch the planes while 16 others decided to golf.  I assume that everyone was happy with their choices.

Those people that did play said they had a great vantage with the Snowbirds regrouping after most maneuvers above the seventh hole.  Wes Arnfinson even reported needing to back away from his tee shot on nine because of the noise and spectacle above him.

Skins went on six holes this past week. Winners included Wes Arnfinson / Les Blackbird ($20 on #1), Austin Hunter / Jason Neufeld ($20 on #8, $40.50 on #9), Sonny Blackbird / Blake Hunter ($20 on #4), Wayne Griffin / Terry Brandon ($20 on #6), and Barry Bone / Brad Benton ($40.50 on #7).

In addition to their double skin win, Austin and Neuf were closest to the holes, on #5 and #9 respectively.  Also, they converted their birdies for the only deuces of the evening to split the $24 pot.

There are lots of things happening at the golf course in the next few weeks. There is a Nine and Dine on Friday plus the Yellowhead 150 Tournament on Sunday.  Also, our annual Horse Race tournament is July 29th.
