Welcome to the Men's Night 2012 Season
May 19, 2012 | Posted by anonymous proshopWhy Join a Golf League...The impetus for exploring a software based scoring system for our Golf Leagues was the promise of some good old-fashioned fellowship in the clubhouse. We thought it would be fun for everyone to track their scores and the idea of broadcasting the results in the lounge seemed pretty cool. I'm pleased to say that the comments regarding the new format have been overwhelmingly positive so, for all intents and purposes, you'd have to say it's working. It has always been my position that the primary reason to join a league is the theoretical social benefits one derives from hob-knobbing with your fellow league members. Good golf courses abound today and heaven knows if you consider your participation from simply a "cost per round" perspective it doesn't necessarily make sense. But, not to worry my friends because we have the one thing that non-league players will never have... the security and sense of belonging that comes from being singled out, embarrassed and ridiculed by both your teammates and fellow members! (This by the way is one of the fundamental differences between male and female golfers) It is an inexplicable fact that male golfers feel compelled to root out their teammates shortcomings be they physical, mental or weakness of character. If a member of your team or anyone for that matter, has the yips - you need to know about it and most importantly - you need them to know that you know about it! The typical male member wouldn't have it any other way. The way I see it... you can be ignored at any one of the several fine golf courses in Ontario but it is only in your local golf league that people care enough to kick you when you're down!

| 0 Comments May 9, 2012 | Posted by ProshopSuccessful First DayIt was a great turnout with 96 men out to play on Friday. There was only 95 scores handed in however. If anybody knows where Andy Vandewalle went with his scorecard, let us know. Looks like it's going to be another close run for the President's Cup this year with half the teams within 3 points of each other. Captains, rally your men to be out here as everyone counts. To remind everyone about the format, the 2 low gross scores and 3 net scores count for your team. Even if you don't score well you can still help your team out, as everyone gets 1 point for participation. Wins receive 10 points and ties receive 5 points. The first Double-Up event is the coming Friday. This week it will be held on hole #13. You pay $10 and if you ball stays on the green you receive 2 free entree vouchers. If you ball goes anywhere but the green you still receive 1 free entree voucher to use in the restaurant. Money will be received on the tee on hole #13. See everyone on Friday.
