On Tuesday, May 8 the Wingham
Golf and Curling Club kicked off
ladies night with the opening golf
and supper. The 25 ladies enjoyed
nine holes of golf before joining in
the dining lounge for a chicken
buffet. Patti Nixon was the winner
of the prize for closest to the pin.
This is a great group of girls who
get together every Tuesday to golf
and they hold a fun night every
month.
The Wednesday senior men had
23 golfers on a clear sunny morning.
The club’s oldest member Clayt
Ruppel took home first place
honours with Bob Foxton second
and Gerry Edwards third. Wayne
Gordon was winner of the longest
putt and Don Bone shot a round of
40 to capture low gross.
The Thursday night men had 50
golfers hit the links on a cool but
sunny evening. Dan McPherson was
winner of the closest to the pin
while Aart de Vos and James
Elphick were longest putt winners.
The hidden score winners were Dan
McBurney, Brian Skinn, Andy
Williams, Russ Danbrook and
Warren Rich. Buff Kerr and Jay
Marston shared low gross with
rounds of 41.
OUT OF BOUNDS NEWS
Bob Foxton and Harry George
have been busy clearing brush near
the entrance and many of the ladies
are busy looking after flower beds
on the course.
All these extra little jobs are a
great asset to the appearance of our
club and show the importance
of good volunteers to a small
club.
