Mens' Golf News

There was lots of action this week in the Thursday night Mens' Section event, as Steelback Breweries began a weekly sponsorship for the boys. Each week, Steelback will provide a prize to the lucky winner of a draw. This week, John Upper was the fortunate player to claim the Steelback prize.

Back to the golf results. In the A-flight, which was sponsored by Coblenz and Brown Drywall, Phil Hunt, who hits his drives long, shot a great round of one over par 36 on the front nine to take first low gross honours. Bruce Towner, who also had a good round of 39 took the low net award with a net score of 35.

In the B-flight, sponsored by Wino's in Port Elgin, Mike Cleary had a steady round of five over par 40 to take first low gross. Ed Pette won the first low net prize with a net score of 34.

In the C-flight, which was sponsored by Martin's Home Hardware in Southampton, Charlie Schmalz took another trip to the prize table with a great round of 45, winning first low gross in the flight. Hugh Morrison also went back to the winners' circle to claim first low net with a net score of 35.

In the D-flight, which was sponsored by the Walker House in Southampton, Watt Rodgers had a good score of 51 to win first low gross while Russ Solomway claimed first low net with a net score of 38.
