T&F holes
It was a bit of a shock waking up to a cloudy sky after the string of beautiful sunny days we’ve had, but nevertheless it was a good day for golfing. The Sept. 13 game for the Crown Isle Ladies Golf club was T & F Holes, which is an individual game where you count only the holes beginning with the letters ‘T’ and ‘F’ (eg. two, three, four, five, 10, etc.) and then take half the handicap.
The low net winner was Jean Curry with a 34 and Mavis Baines was second at 35.5.
KPs were awarded to Jean Curry on #7 and Valerie Dingwall on #12. Birdies were recorded by Judy Aldcroft (#18), Valerie Dingwall (#12), Pat Johnson (#2), Katy Macaulay (#12) and Pam Stevens (#16). In the 25+ hcp. category, pars on a par-five hole were scored by Liz Ellis and Sandra Morton (both on the first hole).
Intriguing
The regular Sunnydale men's morning had some extra intrigue with the International Pairs competition happening at the same time. The players that decided to pay a small entry fee had a chance to go all the way to Scotland.
The Modified Stableford tournament was won on a count-back by Craig Follis and Dave Pye with a 46. They now go to Crown Isle to play against other teams representing other clubs throughout British Columbia. If they succeed they will have a free trip to Scotland and represent the province. Thank you to Ron Pinke for his efforts organizing the tournament. The regular Sunday Men's Morning results were:
0-10: Low gross Shane Robinson 76. Low net Craig 69, Dave Pye 69.
11+: Low gross Randy Bennet 76. Low net Leo Lambert 66, Gord Rallison 67.
Super Seniors: Low gross Ken Detweiller 82. Low net Walley Mograss 66, Jack Currie.
KPs: #10, Ron Pinke, #15 Randy Bennet, #17 Bruce Allen. Long Putts #9 Jordan Rallison, #18 Colin Hetman.
Next week will be a regular men's morning, followed the week after by this year's wrap-up morning with lunch. Non-members are all welcome.
