On the final golf evening in the Tuesday Men's Day season those who could find the practice green in the dark, made their way to watch the final five putters try for $375.00. The putters, after the event finished mentioned they were all distracted by the over-zealous criket population. Henry Kim heard his name called for a third time this season. It points out that winning the pot-of-gold takes more than "luck of the draw". Henry and John McGraw set the stage by placing their efforts within 10 feet of the hole. Monty Smith pulled no punches as his ball tracked for the centre of the cup. Someone must have moved the hole three farther back in the dark. Bill Malmo was determined not to be short (I mentioned he could nothing about his genetics). He, with enthusiasm, hit the back of the hole and bounced out. It was a good thing as the ball, with its speed, probably would have dented Dave Lee's shoes. The Final putter of the season was John Tafts. He must have some connection to bats or owls as he navigated his putt, through the darkness into the hole to crush the dreams of the members that hoped for a putt off next week. Congratulations to our final pot of gold winner, who cashed in for $375.00 on the final putt of the season.

Today marked the end to a season that seemed to rocket by. Last winter when Dave Lee and Mark Walker chaired committee meetings, there was guarded hope for success. All, who helped shape this men's season, could not help but be impressed with the results. The emphasis here focuses on the most important ingredient , which is the participants. Men's Day at the SCC helped to showcase the fact that our members are blessed with positive inter-personal skills, are enthusiastic, love to have fun, can joke around and can even be flexible. The membership is The CLub and Membership helped mould an experiment into a success. We wish to build on this year's start and so we welcome members to make suggestions to Dave for next year.

Today members asked, 'Where's the Beer?' Dave Lee closed out the season with a super 34 shutting the door on the season's beer spout. Congratulations go out to Steve Goforth, Sean Atkinson and Doug Evans who shot low gross scores of 36 from the black tees. Terry Douglas found the blacks incredibly easy as he posted a low net of 29. He was followed by Brian T. Smith, Barry Cameron, PAul Nickel and Doug Evans who posted low net scores of 31. Congratulations to all.

Unfortunately, this week's most useless bastard, Brian Blowes with a net 46, will not have a chance to win most improved player as Terry Douglas did tonite.

Members continue to win prizes each week, thanks to our sponsors. The support of our sponsors was one of the keys to this season's success. Winning Kelsey's closest to hole #4 was Steve Rae. John Campbell was closest to Paul Lobsinger's hole #8 this week. Winning the three 9th Hole proximity prizes were John Campbell, Bill Zehr and Darryl Berg. This week we would like to thank and recognize all of our sponsors for their kind support of our Men's event throughout the the 2008 season.

Until next season,

Ken
