Jerry Campbell
Ken Robertson
Art Harms



Door Prize Winners today:

Rob Egan took home the Eaglewood Restaurant Entree!

Art Harms won the Chinook Cove Golf Pass 

Laurel Gouthro won the Sleeve of Balls

And Laurel was the Senior Token of the Week winner with a scintillating 110!


The Game today was 2 Low Net.

We had 24 crazy golfers show up to tempt their fate in the monsoon!
Yup that's what it was like!

Matching this peerless motocross rider were these two groups:

In Last place with no money to their credit was the very wet group of Linda Angstadt, Marc Guertin, Dave Hampton and Pat Faisthuber!

I mean really what do these people think they are playing at?

Also out of the money (again!?) was Ian Campbell, Dennis Fitzmaurice, Mark Nadler and Don Ingram.

As you can see they were hung out to dry!



Now we advance to the 4th place ?Winners?

Dwight Oatway, Rob Egan, Terry Noftall, and Larry Sill.

As you can see they were having difficulty navigating the course 
and asked this young lady to help them get home into 4th Place
 - my God - they had two 10 Caps 
and a 13 Cap and they still couldn't compete!???? He He He





Larry said he needed to get home and so he offered the young lady a lift 
and left early!

Oh and Rob Egan owes Larry $7!


Now we move up the ladder of competency and into Third spot!

Laurel Gouthro, Gerry Campbell, Del Macready 
and all three of these needed to drag 
old Dumont around the course.

I mean they really dragged Dumont around the course 
- nice ears John!


 As you can see Laurel and Del were rather bemused 
by John's get up on and off the course!

Finishing in Second Spot this week was the awesome foursome of :

Art Harms, John French, Ed Blundell and Angus Gouthro!


This sort of sums up their round of golf doncha think?

Moving right along to the top of the charts was 
this inspiring, erudite and quite handsome group 
of golfers: 
Don Puhach, Ken Robertson, Jim MacCormack, 
and Jack Angstadt.

They were number one with a bullet thanks to Angstadt! Smooth swing big guy!

As you can see we dazzled the course today!

Tee time is back to 8:30 AM next week!

Please be in the house by 8:15AM!

Our Senior Mens 2 Ball tournament is August 28. 
If you happen to have any good quality golf equipment, 
clubs, wedges, putters, vouchers from the pro shop 
or the restaurant that you would like to give as 
a door prize please bring them along to the organizers 
at any of our sessions and hand them over 
- thanks! 

CU on the course before we walk over you!

June 12 Results of 3 - 2 - 1 Golf!

Sixty-two out today - weather was perfect!           




















































 Door prizes today were won by: 
Ken Robertson  - Eaglewood Restaurant certificate!

Rivershore voucher for 18 - Mel Cassidy 
(who went home early to babysit grandkids!)

Sleeve of balls was won by Carol Fitzmaurice.

Token of the week was awarded to Gordie Craik 
for getting his arthritic bones up and out 
and on the course this morning!

 NEXT WEEK IS AN 8:00 AM Start!

Some housekeeping requests:

 Please try to only have two powercarts per foursome 
- the Pro Shop would like to keep the amount of traffic 
on the course to a minimum! 
Check around and consolidate carts before heading out on the course please!

Please give your email addresses to Ken Robertson 
so you can read the news? 
and find out who is being maligned this week!

Wheldon Steel Rivershore matchup from last Thursday!

We managed to win one point two weeks ago from Rivershore 
thanks to Norm Romano and Peter Frew! 
This past week Norm and Peter took both the front and back nines 
and took three points. Marc Guertin allowed Ken Robertson 
to ride home on his coattails and we swept Rivershore 
for all 6 points so we won the cumulative by 7 - 5!


We have managed to build the club by doing team play 
and everyone tossing their names in the hat 
and being drawn each week in a random draw!
Unless you have a powerful reason 
(friend visiting from out of town etc.) 
we would like everyone to continue 
with the social tradition 
of just tossing their individual names 
in the hat 
and going out with whoever 
they have been drawn with! 
IF a couple wants to stay together 
we will try to pair up the couples. OK?


The Player Assistant advised that a few openings started to grow between some of our foursomes and has asked if we can remind each other to "speed up the play".

We encourage Ready Golf and Ready Putting
 - if you are ready - putt 
and unless you are really away from the hole 
continue your putting to the hole and don't mark every putt please!

When leaving the hole please walk quickly off 
and jump on your cart 
and put your putter or clubs away at the next tee box! 
Thanks - these simple procedures can cumulatively take 20 minutes 
or more off a round of golf!


 Deuce Pot Winners this week were: 
John St. Louis, Gerry Campbell, Ken Robertson, 
Marc Guertin, Barry Gray and Ian Campbell.


 In first place this week with a net 119 was the team 
of Flavio Facchin, Laurel Gouthro, 
John St. Louis and Ken Robertson.

 This was sort of how they managed the round of golf today! Very carefully!

 Second place was taken by Gerry Tresiera, Fern Gosselin, 
Angus Gouthro, and Brian Rattray.



 Nothing was going to keep Angus from trying to catch up to Laurel!


 Now that's what we call concentration!

Third spot was taken by the team of Doug Rutledge, Mark Nadler, 
Tave Dandy, and Louie Faisthuber!

 Louie was still bragging about how he was so good 
at work when he was a youngster
and we got another shot of him in action!


Two teams managed the proverbial kiss their sister routine for Fourth spot this week!
Jorgen Sveistrup, Frank Bava, Diane Mayo and Myles Hanke with 124




tied up with the threesome of Ley McMillan, Lorraine Zimmer and Marc Guertin!


 As you can see Marc and Ley were ready to whoop it up with Lorraine!



Another two groups tied for 5th Spot with 125 
- Dennis and Carol Fitzmaurice were with 
Mel Cassidy and his wife 
(they left early to babysit grandkids!) 


 Truth be known our ever present cameraman caught Mel being taken home!

Then Al Jakel, Del Macready, Gerry Campbell and Norm Romano pulled it together to tie for 5th as well!


 Apparently just when they thought they had the game in the bag 
some other dang thing would come along and ruin it!

 In 6th Spot this week was this fine? team of John Pizarczyk, 
Brian Dennis, Anita Romano and Terry Haynes.


 Anita said it was just one of those restless rounds of golf!


The following groups were out and about on the course 
- their purpose was sort of aimless but they had fun!

 Bruce Betker, Dana Skoberg, Audrey Faulkner, 
and Sandra Bava.
 The Gorilla was clutching Pat Faisthuber 
and Paul Sharp went along for the ride too!

Ian Campbell was so humbled by the day's action 
he left early and Freddie Freeloader 
and Myrtle Cadogan were left to take the blame.

Jim McCormack, Rob Egan, Don Puhach 
and Bev McIntosh also hit the greens 
- apparently too often!
 

 Ken Rollier (hey watch my shades newsie!), John French, Heather Heron were on hand to help Phil Walls wander around the course.


 Also around and about the course to no apparent purpose were Shirley Wiklund, Art Harms, Dave Assmus and Barry Gray!


Also wandering around punching holes in the sod and wondering when the Playoffs start were Sylvia Gobbi, Gene Mehr, Don Ingram and some fine lady who I got the name of but promptly forgot when I moved to the next table!
Sorry about that!

Last but not least cause any of the above could have been last too was the team of : unknown - dang someone email me her name!, Barry and Gordie Craik! He at least won the token of the week for ineptitude I think! He He He
 
Probably most of these groups could be summed up by this short shot!


Next week as there is a tournament the Pro Shop has asked us to start it up at 8:00 AM!
Please register with Don Puhach and Ken Robertson by  7:45 AM!

The game will be two Low Nets!  CU on the course!

June 5 Results of something that happened on the course!

We played a simple game of one low net on the first 6 holes,
then 2 low nets on the next 5 holes,
 and then 3 low nets on the next 4 holes, 
and then 4 low nets on the last 3 holes.

Does that make sense? Does anything the 
golf gods ask us to do make sense? 
No!

OH well it was a scramble and here are the results 
without pictures for the 2nd straight week!

Why might you ask? 

Cause this here dummy reporter is a senior 
and he forgot to put a memory card in the camera!


Deuce pot winners today were: Ley McMillan, Dave Hay and Jack Angstadt.
They split $60 cause two of the organizers were deuce pot winners!

When Louie or Norman or anyone else gets a deuce they only get $5!
Is there something fishy going on here? 
No! - oh thanks for that Dave and Ley!

Ley McMillan won an entree here at the Eaglewood Restaurant! 

Ken Robertson (finally I won something!?)  scored a $25 gift certificate from the Pro Shop!
Amazing what a little whinging and whining will get you!
Gene Mehr won and entree here as well!
Jack Angstadt scored 2 rounds of golf at Revelstoke! Go for the weekend Jack!
Norm Romano won a sleeve of balls - bought time he got some!

Arlene Sahlstrom - Pooch's better half won the Senior Token of the week for sinking her thirteenth stroke on number 5? from about 84 feet! Do we play the game or what?


Arlene said that she was making this wish and poof Don disappeared!



 

Now to the real prizes for outstanding performances and excellent eraser skills on the scorecards today! 
This lady was standing by to award the awesome prizes I might add!

Shooting an awesome 130 as a team was this fine group!

Marilyn Peterson (she sent along this unique shot to show she still has it!) and Jorgen Sveistrup, some old dog named Louie and Paul Hindle.

In second place was the fine team of Ben and Audrey Nielsen, Gerry Campbell and Norm Romano! They shot an amazing 131.

 As you can see Audrey stood on her head to day!

In third spot with an unbelievable score of 134 was the team of Jack Angstadt, Sandra and Frank Bava and Les Ekstrom.


 Sandra really knows how to celebrate a win!

Coming in a considerable distance behind were these two teams:

at 145 and still counting -

Flavio Facchin, Myrtle Cadogan, Charley Molloy, and John St. Jean? 


Tied with Dave Zimmer, Tave Dandy, Bruce Betker and Ken Robertson


Myrtle and Tave seemed very happy about the win!



In 5th place tied with  another lousy team were:

Gene Mehr, Wayne ?, Marsha Blundell and Anita Romano.

the other lousy team was Art Harms, Shirley Wiklund, Dave Hay and Ley McMillan.


Nice show girls! But who was who?

Last and deservedly least was this fine foursome of John Dumont, Al Jakel, Bill Brown, and Laurel Gouthro.


As you can see even Laurel was unable to rescue this group!


There were a lot of other sad sacks out there today - cause my lousy camera skills let me down I don't have the names of everyone but sort of think they all played like this!



On a much happier note the speed of play was pretty good but we wanted to give everyone some tips on how to speed it up in a visual format!

Putting the ball in play is pretty important and Tave Dandy 
searched her personal video files and found one taken a couple of years ago 
and in it she says she showed the importance of helping others 
find their ball and how cooperative people are when you help them!

Roll it Tave!

As you can see everyone loves Tave's ball returning skills!

 And notice how ready everyone was over their ball!
