It’s the final countdown!

            The time has come where we are at the final week of the Elmira Golf Club Men’s Day. Where we can look back on the season that was and recall great memories such as Michael Kam’s net 22, Guy Farwell’s net 25, Mark Whittrick’s -2 par, and Scott McLeod’s gross 36. Now it is time where we separate the pretenders from the contenders.

            This weeks winning teams include Labatts Blue 176, Budweiser 175, Keith’s Amber Red 174, Labatts 50 173, and Bud Light leading the overall score with 172.

            This week’s great weather finally brought with it some great individual scores. A gross score of 35 was shot by Cam Allen, and Ed Dewing. As well as Tim Martin who eagled the 5^th hole. Two of our club pro’s, Glenn Leman and Craig Hare, and Jeff Baker shot 36’s. Rounding out the rest of the list with 37 is Mark Whittrick, Andy Newman, Ian McRae, and Clark McAlpine. 

            On the net front, Tim Martin led the group with a net 30 which his team could not count because Tim’s great round was used as a low gross score. Close behind was Keith Kennedy, Ian McRae, Larry Shantz, and Bernie Carrara with 32. Gord Cousineau, Jason Andress, and Bill Clemens had 33. Lloyd Martin and Cliff Gingrich finished with a 34. Congrats to all the players who posted will this week!

            Your opponent for the final week will be done by seeding and is determined by the overall standing’s as of yesterday’s results. The 1^st overall team plays the 2^nd overall team, the 3^rd overall team plays the 4^th overall team and so on.  

            This is a reminder to all players that on September 9^th, there is a Men’s Day Team Scramble starting at 4:15pm. $50 entry fee includes a cart, steak dinner, golf shirt, and a beverage. The format is; a team combined 9 hole score. Each team will split into 2 sub-teams consisting of the team members who participate, with a minimum of 2 players and a maximum of 6. Both teams will play in the same group, and you can decide as a team, who will go into either sub team. Mind you loading up the one group might not be the best plan as both groups scores will count, and the more players you get to sign up the better. Hope to see you out for this and next week as well!
