The wind down begins

Well it is August 30 and next week will be our first Men's Night in September.  Our tee time has rolled back to 6:00 pm and even with that it still doesn't give too much time for too many extra holes.  We should be dejected and downtrodden with the end of summer coming soon.

Or we can maximize the time remaining and get as much golf in as possible.  Getting dark too early...no big deal.  Simply golf earlier or take some LED balls and golf later.  A few guys chose the latter option after Men's Night this week.

Just because next week is September doesn't mean golf is done for the year.  Men's Night will continue until weather or low turnout makes us end it.  And if you are over 50 there are a couple of Senior tournaments coming up including Birtle on September 3 and Hamiota on September 17.

Just don't too long to find those extra days to golf.  Remember we got around 10 inches of snow last September 22.

This week, 15 guys made the best of a sunny, then cool, then windy, then rainy, then sunny, then cool later afternoon and evening.  Surprsingly, skins only went on three holes.  Winners included Terry Susinski / Stephen David ($20.00 on #1), Blake Hunter ($20.00 on #7), and Jason Gorrell / Kendal Korsocil ($20.00 on #9).

No one hit the fifth green.  Only Austin Hunter put one on #9 to earn closest to the pins.  There were no deuces.  In fact, of the fifteen players only three scored under 45.  But we still golfed.
