Mens’ Golf News

We now have the results from last week’s journey to Saugeen Golf Course, where we enjoyed the golf course, their hospitality and a great meal.  Thanks to Saugeen for hosting us.  In the A-flight, Brian Acton had a great round of one over par 37 to win first low gross.  Jerry Thomson was second in the flight with a 39.  Freeman Coblenz captured first low net with a net 32.5, followed by Dale Woods with a net 34.5.

In the B-flight, Mike Cleary won first low gross with a 43, only one stroke ahead of Tom Kevin Dagnall whose 44 won second low gross.  Barry Beatty won first low net with a net score of 36, followed by Aaron Mahon with a net 38.  In the C-flight, Charlie Schmalz had a fantastic nine holes, carding a 42 to win first low gross, followed by Tom Bailey with a 45.  Steve Green, who has been marching through match play this year, won first low net with a net 32, while Bill Thomson won second low net with a net 34.5.

In the D-flight, Russ Solomway won first low gross with a 47, followed by Jim Connelly with an even 50.  Watt Rodgers won first low net with a net 35, followed by Bill Richards with a net 37.5

Bill Streeter was Closest to the Pin on Legacy #8, and Dan Lazenby sunk the Longest Putt on Legacy #6.

In this week’s action, back at Chippewa, the format was a four-man scramble, as is the custom on the last Thursday of each month.  Teams are made up on players with handicaps from all four handicap groups, and play a best ball game with the requirement that each player must use at least one drive during the nine holes.  There was also a different twist to the game, as players had to use the blue tees except for those with higher handicaps, who were able to tee off from the shorter red tees.

In first place, with a four under par 31 on the front nine was the team captained by Brian Acton with Aaron Mahon, Bill Berry and Terry Morgan.  Two teams were tied for second place with  team scores of 32.  Sharing the spoils was the team captained by Bruce Towner with Bruce MacGregor, Gord Shular and bill Richards and the team captained by Jerry Thomson with Peter Quigley, Mike Fitzmaurice and George Wilson.

Brian Acton won the Longest Putt contest on the second hole while Jerry Thomson took the closest to the Hole competition on #5.
