June 30 All Seasons golfing today!

22 were out for the best that 

Kamloops has to offer in golf 

- it shone - it blew - mostly in your face! 

and it rained off and on 

and it was cloudy and it was cold! 

Then it got warm.

John Campbell, Don Puhach and Jorgen Sveistrup managed to hack out a win in Garbage Golf.

This is how the rest of us feel when we see John in the lineup!

In second place -cause Mark Nadler is fast with the pencil - Judy and Warren Cross and somehow in the crossfire and with all the shells going off around him Jack Matthews managed to 

luckbag his way into second place too!

Jack Matthews used to just lie around a lot!

Bob Helfrich, Laurel Gouthro and Ken Robertson managed through sheer skill, perseverance and incredible luck to secure third place!

They were surprised at the results too!

John French, 

Rob (Did Mr. Cool miss a short, putt?) Egan,

Larry Sill and Dave (I have to close my eyes to watch Egan putt!) Barker were on the course but with no help from Egan they sort of had the wheels fall of their bus!

Hey Mr. Cool! Someone here knows you!

At least that's the length of the putt you missed or does she know you better than that?

Whatever, Rob was awarded the driving range token of the week!

Dave Hay, Donna Cross, and Angus ( I only have to speak once to a golf ball!) Gouthro were on the course but with Dave's usual support they finished out of the money!

Dave believes in taking it to the max!

Al (Man am I pumped!) Jakel and Gordie (Hey buddy can you lend me a dime!) Craik also were on the course but were sort of up the creek!

Fearless Freddy Hamarlund unloaded and left for home before his crew and canoe arrived!

Update on Weldon Steele 

John French, Jorgen Sveistrup, Don Puhach, and Dave Hay are heading off

 tomorrow to Salmon Arm - thanks Gentlemen!

Short notice on a Stat holiday!

Update on the Seniors Tournament - 

we paid out $1675 in prizes and broke even.

Next year suggestions welcomed - three guys who signed up but didn't show will be refused entry next time!

Members who have sleeves of golf balls or extra - but good! - wedges and drivers etc or other good paraphernalia are welomed to donate these as door prizes!

Next week sees a number of Seniors off to Semlin Valley at Cache Creek - so it may be another round of FREE LUNCHES if you win!

Weldon Steele update from the match at Eaglepoint against Rivershore!

This kind of represents how Larry Sill and Dave Hay solved the problem with Rivershore!

Thank goodness Earl (The Pearl!) Sinclair and Al (Hit him hard and early!) Jakel were at least on their feet!

So the result is Rivershore 8 points and Eaglepoint 4 points.

Thanks guys for going out and representing the club in finestyle!

Better luck next time!

Great Tournament on the 23rd of June!

A lot of the gang was out shooting their hearts out but who knows if it transferred to the course?

Our peerless leaders had things well organized and running as smooth as silk!

Dave 

(I'm just a sweet organized kind of guy!) ,

Hay,

Al 

(Running with the money to the border!)

Jakel, and 

Larry 

(Are those stilts or are you riding a chicken?)

Sill

 Selling the 50/50 and Deuce Pot awards were Brenda (Yeah He does have sort of skinny legs!) Sill and Helen (Oh but he is so sweet and organized!) Hay

In charge of entry forms, payments and be dang careful how you approach us if you know what's good for you bub! 

Arlene Sahlstrom and Barb Kenyon.

Christa was keeping things moving but Ray and Jack persisted in hanging around!

Terry (have you counted your clubs?) Yallowega and 

Mino 

(What I wouldn't do for a belly putter 

after all I have the belly!) 

Goto.

Al was commiserating with Jack Matthews - someone had to golf with Jack!

Dave (Yes I am as smooth as silk baby!) Assmus and
Don (Good golf is what I am here for - companionship is all I got!) Puhach were lounging around waiting for the firing of the cannon!

First up and overall Champion was 

Jack Gregson - oops no - Greg Jackson!

Congratulations! Big guy! Go hula hooping next year so someone else can clean up!

Freddy (The Hammer!) Hamarlund was overall low Net Winner! Net 62! 

A love story sort of was Louis (Not only am I an Immigrant I am perfect too!) Faisthuber and clutched in his arms was 

Mark (Not so tight Louis I can get excited easily!) Bodlack They sort of trailed in after the sudden death playoff!

Dave Henri and Murray Moffat did something exciting!

Dan Crawford and John Campbell also were there winning something!

Ivan LeGrandeur and 

Rob (I still are the coolest guy on the course!) Egan also won something!

Brian Whitehead and his new "special friend" Ron Hadley were all over each other!

Winning kind of goes to a guys head!

John (Haven't met a ball I can't slice!) French and Brian Popp also won big (Notice they don't need the clutchy feely type of win that Louis, Brian and others prefer!)

Henry Mori and Gordon Matthews were dressed out in matching golf shirts!

Bill Milburn and 
Ron ( My bifocals are killing me!) Watson 
were also up for something!

Last but least were

Herb Gawhens and Ken (Yeah so I got a big handicap doesn't mean I can't win something) Robertson.

Our Seniors Tournament is a go!

Our Seniors' Tournament is a go! 

Sounds like we have more than 72 signed up for it next Wednesday! 

Some door prizes and 

50/50 Draw will also be available.

Weldon Steele Update

you could be very mean and nasty 

and say that 

"at least Jakel and Sinclair got 1 point, whereas 

the hacking duo of Sill and Hay got zip......

but I know you would not put it in this un-principled way

.....hehehe

 

HE HE HE!

How come my correspondents know my

weak points - Sill and Hay looked 

like this at Rivershore!

Apparently they were somewhat adrift!

Thank God Jakel and Sinclair came to the rescue and bailed them out sort of!

Thanks for the fine performance guys!

Sounds like the Weldon Steele group that went to Rivershore did not fare well!

Well, it could be called "well-done" steele in the Rivershore match today.  

Not well done as in good.....but as in burned, smoked, trashed...

The Eagle Point team came away with 1 out of 6 points 

against a finely tuned Rivershore squad.  

BUT....now we are really peed, and eager to exact revenge 

next Thursday at Eagle Point.  

Stay tuned!

Free Lunches were served today to one half of the attendees!

Free lunches? Yes folks right here in Kamloops there is a free lunch program and one half of the seniors in attendance today took advantage of this 

- was this a government subsidized program 

- NO! 

- No Gordon Campbell HST malarkey here folks 

just plain old fashioned 

go get em tiger and win the battle 

in the corner or in the case of these two ladies 

- wrestle on the putting green for nine extra holes 

in order to win a free lunch and 

Barb (Just go ahead and kill those guys in front 

cause I'm hungry!) Kenyon 

managed to squeeze out a defeat at the hands of 

Judy (Yes I know I'm going to make this 2 foot putt!) Cross

What! Oh now how the 

(fill in any of Angus Gouthro's famous 

four letter friendgetters at this point!) 

did I miss that putt!??

Not only did Frank Barrett crush out a hole in one he also feasted off the carcass of Flavio Fachhin!

Big Bad John French managed to dice and slice his way to a loss to Gord Schmid - 

apparently John was thrashing Gord 

and in order to make things easier he decided to 

(fatal mistake here folks!) 

offer Gord a stroke a hole and Gord seized the day 

and ended up eating a free lunch thanks to John!

Wiping away his tears after a very tough loss to 

Freddie (Freeloader?) Hamarlund was Doug Rutledge!

The gals in the clubhouse were happy to serve the troops 

but had a hard time figuring out who paid for what!

Jorgen Sveistrup has a handicap of 21 and 

Rob (Aren't I just the coolest guy on the course!) Egan 

has a handicap of 16 

- So Jorgen shoots a 40 on the back nine 

and 

Mr. Cool pays for the lunches! He! He! He!

Another sort of love story in two parts one happy and one sad - 

like why is Jim Gordon smiling when he had to feed

old Bill (Gee I hates those sand traps!) Brown.

Poor Jeff Hambleton - on your right - fate conspired against him in the form of you know 

Angus 

(Dang and this is only my second year of golf and my handicap is only 7 or something?)

Gouthro!

We did see this picture of Angus though 

and we think it was on number 5! 

He did throw his clubs a little 

and think he dinged his golf cart too!

He never did like that chicken anyways!

Rumour has it that this blog has been unfair and unflattering to Warren Cross! He won today didn't he! However Len Kelly assures this writer that Warren was more like this on the course!

Never unfair nor unflattering

- snarky mean cruel and nasty yes!

Judy says she would be pleased!

Poor old Gordie Craik was wiping his eye after getting cleaned by Robertson today - he said that he felt just like this on the course today!

And no! Gordie wasn't holding the cape!

 Barry McLeod and Andy Webster were out and by the looks of it 

Barry was going to stuff the knife into 

Webster before he paid for his meal!

Dave Assmus, Don Ozubko, 

John Dumont and Pat Dunn 

came, played, ate 

and we don't know who paid for who!? 

and then they left!

Anyone knowing who the winners and whiners were amongst this group please shout!

We think they may have played like this but we just don't know!

We had 24 golfers out today and next week is our tournament - shout and get people registered as we still have room and at this point of writing we are still go for the 23rd!
