August 29 Seniors Tourmament Results



Thanks to all the participants in the Eaglepoint Golf Club Seniors' Two Ball Best Ball Tournament!

Thanks to the Management and Staff at Eaglepoint for a great course and great hospitality!





Here are the Winners, Weiners, 
and Never Wuzzes for this year!

Overall Low Gross Winners was the well equipped team of 
Bill Gallis and Brock Waldron. 
Congratulations guys! 
Oh and by the way the watermelon helmets were a hit!


First Low Net winners were Ivan Legrandeur and John Hunt! 
Nice party clothes guys!

Greg Jackson and Mike Moore were 2nd Low Gross 
and they didn't take losing First place lightly!

As you can see they are getting pumped for next year's contest already!

Mike Weghr and Don Cominetti took 2nd Low Net 
- not sure who was holding the sign up 
on their fly-by victory flight!
Two heavyweights from Eaglepoint took 3rd Low Gross! 
Randy Durante and Dave Barker!


Losing didn't come easily to Dave or Randy 
and dang the bottle got empty quickly!

3rd Low Net went to Lincoln Cadogan 
and Charley Molloy of Eaglepoint! 

Great victory pose you two!


4th Low Gross went to Bill Bowling and Ken Gorsline!
 They actually seemed spellbound by their win!

4th Low Net went to Jim Shippit and Brian Popp.
 Looks like they got tanned out there today!



 Ken and strangling him today was Vic Feere!
You know the former members of the Force have to show their physical aspect!
Hey - ossifer I will cooperate!


John Bishop and Larry Lestander took 5th Low Gross
I, myself, thought their turnout gear was great 
but had trouble figuring out who was who!


Keith Russell and Rob Huget were out 
driving around and took 6th Low Gross
Amazing tricks they pulled off today on the course!


John Thompson and Vic Benard were out 
and about and managed to scramble in 6th Low Net.

As usual, Benard let Thompson do the driving!

7th Low Net was taken by Club Captain 
at Eaglepoint and his putting partner.
 Rick Boulton and Clarence Schuh.
Apparently finishing 7th wasn't a good thing so they kind of went incognito!


Roy Chou and Grant Preston took 7th Low Net and had a great time!

Apparently hanging loose with the bros at the after party was important!
Though somehow Chou managed to change ethnic persuasion for the after party?!
Nice
 Goatee though Roy!
8th Low Gross was taken by 
Mark (I've got the money honey!) Bodlack 
and the other Horseman on the course Ian Jacques!
Give an ex-Horseman his choice 
and he always goes for the guns though!
Nice kneepads Mark!


8th Low Net was taken by the sad sacks 
Ken Robertson and Rick Baker!

Robertson had to give a big yell of relief cause he carried Baker the whole bloody day!
He He He

Barry Patterson and 
Dennis (Where's the money!??) Fitzmaurice 
won 9th Low Net.
If I was Dennis I'd be pumped with the easy $700 win 
at the last men's night too!
John Pizarcyk and Steve Walton barely managed to hold on to 10th Low Net.

I managed to get a shot of them early in the round when Walton had more hair!


 Art Harms, Dwight Oatway, who knows, Myles Hankey (Dang another ex-Horseman!) and Ken White (Hi I'm your friendly bank manager and I'm just here to help!)
 HE HE HE 
were all out for the good times! 
Cause that's all they got!


 Bobby D, Keith Larsen, Ken  (don't give me that two finger salute!) Vic Feere, and some other old reprobates were gathered around the food trough!
 Brian Whitehead, Clarence Schuh, Ken Maczuga, Dave Erwin, Rick Boulton and some other old guys were reminiscing about the shots that got away!

 Don Puhach 
(Arlene's lesser half though looking 
at him that's hard to believe) 
and Jorgen Sveistrup were out on the deck! 
Losing is easier when you're sitting down?
He He He

 Mike Weghr, Don Cominetti, 
Lincoln Cadogan (Hot round Linc!), 
Charley (He gets dragged around by most of the guys he golfs with for God's sake!) Molloy, 
Doug Pockett, John French and Doug Rutledge 
decided that drinking was the order of the day!
 Earl Sinclair and buddies were enjoyiing some barley sandwiches on the deck!
 Flavio Facchin, Gerry campbell, Gerry Tresiera, Marc Guertin, Rick Baker and Fred Hamarlund were waiting for their meal and enjoying the afternoon 
- thank God that's over said Tresiera!



 Greg Jackson, Mike Moore, Bill Bowling
 and Ken Gorsline 
enjoyed Mike's balancing act 
on the deck!
 Aliens from Sun Rivers were here too - 
Brock Waldron and Bill Gallis along with 
Jerry Quigley and Dr. Larry Webster 
made their appearance 
- well at least two of them at the table could golf!
 Ludwig Faisthuber was complaining about not winning 
- yes he was complaining 
cause I heard him for the first time ever!  
Mark Bodlack was able to snaffle the $50 bill
 and gave Ian an IOU. 
John Bishop and Larry Lestander 
were both amused and amazed 
to see Norm Romano's smiling face 
cause he too finished out of the money 
- probably he just got lucky? Newly wed you know!


Steve Walton was wondering how he was going to pay for the round
 when he had only won 10th Low net! 
The waitress was not amused!
 Some of the chief organizers, treasurers, bookkeepers, 
and general odds bods were in the backroom keeping everything organized! 
Al Jakel, Arlene Sahlstrom,and Dave Hay were at the computer 
and checking the books and making out the prize monies! 
Thanks gang!

 Earlier they were out at the check-in table making sure everybody
 was entered and got their score cards
 - Thanks for all the work you people did for the rest of us!
 Betty Hay and Brenda Sill were there to take your 50/50 money and Deuce Pots! 
Thanks Ladies for your work and volunteering?!

The Big Guy and chief spokesman for 
Eaglepoint Seniors' Golf 
was there to make sure everyone did their job 
and got it done!
 Larry Sill, Arlene and Dave were kept busy right to the end!
It was a great day and again 
a big THANK YOU to Ley MacMillan, 
and any of the others who I may have missed
 - the Tournament was a great success 
and you guys and gals did it! 


Take a bow! Thanks - we all needed that!

September 5, 2012 Irish Scramble Golf

There were 44 golfers out today and Dave Hay and Al Jakel 
graciously handed out the marching orders - went something like 
- you take one net score on the first 8 holes then 2 net scores on the next 4 holes
 and then three net scores on the next 4 holes
and then all net scores on the last three holes
 - sounded like fun right! 
Ha Ha Ha the joke was on us!

Don't forget the starting time next week is 9:00 AM!

In case anyone missed it - Angus Gouthro thrashed out a magnificent 78 today!!!!!
Apparently he played the course somewhat like this! Way to go Angus!

Sandra Bava was out for the first time and had such a great time 
she sent along a shot of her in action! 
Thanks Sandra and we hope to see you around the course!
I mean hey if you have the talent then you go for it!

Deuces today were multiple!

Linda Angstad, Rick Baker, Dave Hay, Angus Gouthro (2 !), 
John Dumont, Les Ekstrom, Myrtle Cadogan 
and after he whinged for a while we gave one to Ken Nevins!

Token of the week was given to Heather Heron cause she did something 
- I mean how come the women get the tokens for just looking pretty? 
Dang Sexism - I'm gonna write a letter to a sympathetic editor on this one!

The door prizes were pretty short this week 
- not sure what happened to the pizza prizes
but Hay and Jakel are starting to look a little chubby!???

18 Holes of golf at Revelstoke was "won" by Bruce Betker!
18 Holes of golf at Merritt was won by Paul Hindle.
Jorgen Sveistrup and Ken Robertson (Yippeee!) won the free Entrees 
Here at the Eaglesnest Lounge!

Jorgen really goes for the watermelon!

Now we come to the main winners, weiners, whiners and whingers!
 First on this day was this questionable group of Barry Hill,
Audrey Faulkner, Don Pooch and Dave Hay!

 They had a tough time on the course and deliberated but finally produced a result!

 Inn Second Place was the team of Barry Salonen, Al Jakel, Don Ingram and Terry Noftall.
 Apparently these guys aren't used to winning so they had to really take a ride!

 In Third spot was the team of Bruce White, Marilyn Peterson, Rick Baker and Heather Heron!

 Marilyn and Heather were really pumped about their placing and it shows!

 Angus (A 78! Unbelievable - He shot his age!)
Mr. Lucky himself (AKA Dennis Fitzmaurice - like where's my share of the $700 you won last night?)
Steve Walton (Isn't he one of the Wal Mart Heirs?) and
Myrtle Cadogan who let out a primal shout cause it felt good!
Linc sent on a picture to show what this means!
 Hey Myrtle you shout great!

Tied with these puppies was this very questionable team of Jack Mathew,
Fred Hamarlund, Sharon and Ron Watson.
 I used the term questionable cause Watson handled his tools with vigor in his prime
 - caught a shot of him as an apprentice electrician!
 Ron liked to light things up as a kid!
This group of miscreants and felons to be were in 6th spot all by their lonesome!
Apparently Vic Feere didn't stay around for the final shoot but Ken ,
Ken Rollier and Frank decided to bare their souls for the camera! Thanks guys - I think!
Fine forms on the course guys!


Appearing on the course and occasionally off it - read Robertson and Sveistrup in this instance - was the fine ( at least Anita Romano and Linda Angstad were fine!) group who shot a lot but fell down when it counted most!
Linda and Anita said that this seemed to be the game today!

On a much happier note, Anita decided to share a picture she had taken 
from her recent wedding to that very lucky Norm Romano
 and it shows how she has been improving her golf swing! 
Keep the tee steady Norm!

Also on the course but sort of just checking the roughs and sand traps 
was the popular group of:
 Bruce Betker, Linc Cadogan, Phil Walls and the streaker herself, Shirley Wiklund.


Shirley showed her usual fine form and could have been in the money 
if the guys could have kept up!

 John Dumont appeared to be interested more with Paul Sharp's burger
than playing the course and Pat Faisthuber said she even took a bath on the course
- Sharp wasn't interested in  adding to the conversation!


Pat loves her bath!

 Les Ekstrom was just here for the burgers - Brian Whitehead, Paul Hindle
and Tave Dandy didn't want to share the best kept secret on the course
- Tave said it was very tasty however even if they didn't win!
Shocking what gals will do in retirement!
 And speak about shocking - apparently Mark Nadler had a super new trick on the course and Del Macready and Sandra Bava were sort of impressed - Gerry Campbell was wise to not join in!
Hey some guys have it and as you can see some guys don't!

So there you have all the news fit to print for the week 
- remember 9:00 AM next Wednesday and CU out there 
on the turf rather than under it!
