Despite the hot humid weather the
Wingham Golf and Curling Club
had a fantastic week. On Tuesday,
July 19 the ladies got things off to a
great start holding their monthly fun
night. The theme for this month was
Hi Tea so the ladies came with some
pretty fancy hats and many of the
girls enjoyed some tasty tea in their
tea cups. The team of Peg Cameron,
Janet Haines, Joyce Adams and Ann
Ross captured first place for the
evening.
Like always the gals had a great
time and shared many stories and
lots of laughs.
The Wednesday senior men had 21
golfers out on a hot steamy morning.
Gerry Edwards took home first-
place honours followed by Bill
Brown and Glenn McMichael.
Lloyd Lamont sank the longest putt
and Ed Daer fired a 37 for the low
gross for the day.
The Thursday night men had to
deal with temperatures around the
45°C mark with the humidity but
still managed to have 31 dedicated
golfers take part in their weekly
night out. The winners were: closest
to the pin, Dan McPherson and Dave
Gamble with Jason Goodall and
Trevor Machon receiving longest
putt awards. Pete Inglis was hidden
score winner while Jay Marston shot
a tidy 36 for low gross for the night.
