Week #7 (June 24th)

The heavy downpour which lasted until about 2:30 deterred quite a few players from playing their round.  Those who checked the radar and came out in hope the skies would clear were rewarded with a very nice later afternoon and evening.  Participation for Week #7 was only at 222.

With Canada Day on Thursday, Week #8 is a non-scoring week.  Week #9 (July 8th) will be the next Men's Night where the scores will count.  Hopefully, with great weather, participation will be much better.

The top team for Week #7 was the Macaws (366) with Les Pic Bois second (360).

The top stableford scorers were James Steele (Merlins) with 21 points and Dan Tapp (Hawks) second with 20 points.  Stephane Ethier (Les Pic Bois) and Jack Cole (Merlins) with 24, tied for first for Highest Points for the week.

Rick Lowe (Merlins) followed-up his very long putt win of last week with a Hole-in-One on Predator #13 this week.  Well done Rick!

Finally the putting contest was not won and $102 is carried over to July 8th.  Don't miss your chance on July 8th!  Angelo Fiore (Macaws) was the 50/50 winner.
Check the side bar to see if you won an on-course prize.  If you have not claimed your prize, check at the pro-shop.

Thanks to the Vultures who agreed to change their hosting night and handle the activities for Week #7.  Particular thanks go to Jim McAvoy, Mike Richling and Mike Henderson who worked hard to sell 50/50 and putting tickets to a very small crowd. Next week's hosts are the Eagles

Team Hats:  Team hats were distributed last week.  If you have not got your team hat yet, check at the pro-shop.

Stand proud you noble swingers of clubs and losers of balls!
A recent study found the average golfer walks about 900 miles a year.  Another study found golfers drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.  That means, on average, golfers get about 41 miles to the gallon. 

Kind of makes you proud.  Almost feels like a hybrid.
