Koster captures Sunnydale men's title

Par for the Course: A round-up of action from Comox Valley golf courses

 

 

 

The Sunnydale Men's Club teed it up last weekend for the prestigious award of club champion. I don't think it was much of a surprise when the two-day total added up to 143 and Greg Koster became the new club champion. Only two strokes behind was Tyler Van Anrooy.

Sunnydale's low net champion, who played in the last group and at one time held the lead with only seven holes remaining and being four-under par up to that point, was Murray Erickson.

I'm sure Greg and Tyler had to dig deep to pull ahead of Murray. Or maybe for Murray reality reared its ugly head. Rick Dawson was only four strokes behind with 135.

Senior club champ goes to Robin Ward with 147. Senior net goes to Jim Buchnan who also made an appearance in the last group on Sunday. The super senior coffin dodger champion is Gerry Rautenberg with a 161. The super net champ goes to Al Edwards who sustained a certain amount of ridicule with a 133.

Remember this is your last chance to sign up for the 2012

Tillicum (Aug. 4-5). See you there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pin Day

On the lovely last day of July, the Crown Isle Ladies golf club members played their fifth Pin Day of the 2012 season.  Pin Day is an individual game of total net score for 18 holes with all putts holed out. In a season, six pin days are played with RCGA, BCGA and Zone awards.

Tuesday’s low net winner was Patricia Chalmers with a 65.  Second went to Maggie Maclean for her 67.  Tied for low putts at 29 were Barb Parker and Jenny Steel. May Mitchell had the first low gross of 79 while second was a tie at 80 for Raelene Robertson and Jenny Steel.

Birdies were the order of the day for Mavis Baines (#1), Brenda Barrigan (#15), Liz Ellis (#2), Linda Foreman (#4), Katy Macaulay (#12), Janet Phillips (#2), Raelene Robertson (#11) and Donna Wilson (#7).  In the Par 5 (25+ hcp) category, Brenda Barrigan parred #15 and Eleanor Peters parred #1.

Hate 'Em

It did not look promising when the Glacier Greens ladies got to the golf course on Tuesday, but it turned out to be a beautiful day.

They played the Just Hate 'Em game and before they went out to play they picked the three holes they did not want to count in their total. The winners were as follows:

Two winners with a score of 69 were Jan Edwards and Ann Johnston. Low putts with 26 was Jan Edwards and next was Ann Johnston with 29. KP on #4 was Gene Renaud and on #15 Irene Perry.
