Mens Closing Tournament
Sadly, the season
for the Mens’ section at Chippewa Golf and
Country Club has ended. The final tournament of
the year was held on Saturday, Sept 25, with a
good turnout of members for this four-man
scramble event.
Three teams
started the day with birdies on the first hole,
teams captained by Gerry Call, Rick Grolway and
Mike Pitzen. The Bruce Towner team picked up a
birdie on the second hole, while team Grolway
birdied the fourth, sixth and eighth holes for a
front nine total of 31, and the lead after nine
holes. The Harold Agla team was only one stroke
back with a 32 with several other teams in at
33.
On the back nine,
birdies were hard to come by for most teams,
with the exception of Team Grolway. The Grolway
group picked up four more birdies on the back
nine to finish with an eight under par, 64, at
least three strokes ahead of the rest of the
competition. Congratulations to Rick Grolway,
Mike Cleary, Bill Lazenby and Bill Streeter.
Five teams were
tied for second place with scores of 67, and
John Schmidt, our golf professional at Chippewa,
had to use the rules of retrogression to place
the teams in the proper order. In second place
was the team captained by Harold Agla with Ron
Caudle, Larry Curtis and David Porcellato. In
third spot was the team captained by Gerry Call
with Barry Beatty and Bill Berry. The Mike
Pitzen team of Phil Hunt and Charlie Schmalz
were fourth, followed by the team captained by
Freeman Coblenz with Peter Quigley, Kent
Bergstrom and Don Foell.
The following
were the winners of the Closest to the Pin
competitions; Dan Lazenby on #3; Phil Hunt on
#5, Ron Caudle on #9 and on #18. On #13,
players who hit the green with their drive were
entered into a draw won by Gerry Call, while
those who missed the green, a much larger number
of players, were entered into another draw, won
by Pete Quigley. George Matheson sunk the
Longest Putt on the second hole while Russ
Solomway won the same contest on #15.
Senior Mens’
Closing Tournament
The Seniors at
Chippewa closed their season on Tuesday, Sept
28, and the weather was plain awful. Although
we started off in dry conditions, the rain
started to fall after three holes, and it got
worse as the day went on. Several groups packed
it in before finishing the eighteen holes, but
there were several hardy teams who actually
finished the full round. One of our members
from Kentucky jokingly made the comment that we
were all a bunch of crazy Canucks, and no one
could disagree with him, except to remind him
that he was out there in the rain with the rest
of us.
Only two teams
managed to break par in these conditions. In
first place, with a four under par 68, was the
team captained by Terry Bailey with Jan Riddall
and Don Foell. In second spot, with a one under
par 71, was the team captained by Lorne Lazenby
with Don Hill, Jim Connelly and Don White.
Dale Woods and
his team of John McCormack, Peter Welford and
Dennis Johnston were third with an even par 72.
Two teams scored 77 and tied for fourth place.
Dan Lazenby and his team of Bob Speight, Bert
Tripp and Terry Morgan shared fourth prize with
the team captained by Paul Holk with Bill
Thomson, John Upper and bill Richards.
Rounding out the
prizes were the teams captained by Mike Pitzen
with Al Cruickshank and Doug Oatman and the team
captained by Mike Cleary with Tom Bailey, Watt
Rodgers and George Matheson.
The winners of
the Closest to the Pin contests were as
follows: Terry Bailey on #3, Dan Lazenby on #5
and Don White on #13. Winners of the Longest
Putt competitions were John McCormack on #2 and
Dan Lazenby on #15.
