Have a safe, healthy and enjoyable winter.
Men’s League
Men's Night Closing - September 9, 2018
Men's night closing was a great party to end the year! Everyone who participated had a great time, but the best time may have been had by John Torrossian, who fought off the wind and was able to stick it close on hole #5 Sunrise after the round to win a 2019 MEMBERSHIP thanks to Molson's. Many others tested their luck on the Port Elgin Home Hardware and Rowland’s Independent "sharpshooter" event and risked a $100 gift certificate to potentially win an extra $100 gift certificate with little success - the smart choice was to keep the $100 gift certificate.
Thanks to everyone who participated - Men's night is excited to have an even better 2019 season!

Senior Men’s Club Championship

In the A-fight, after the first round of play, Bruce Towner had the low round of the day as he carded an 83 and took the lead into day two. Derryl Urstadt and Louis Bezaire were only one stroke back with scores of 84, and so the second day of play would be critical.

In the C-flight, Rod Chisholm had a great round of 84 to take the early lead, with Fabian Libbus in second spot with a 90.

A sudden death playoff between the two friends was required. Both players tied on the first hole of play, but on hole #2, the match would be decided. Both players were on the green putting for a par. Urstadt made his putt while Towner lipped out, and the tournament was decided.
