Chip and a Putt – By Bruce Skinn
The Wingham Golf and Curling
Club wrapped up the month of
August on a busy note and are
looking forward to a big September.
The Tuesday ladies saw Debbie
Currie shoot well below her
handicap on her way to capturing
both the Wilma Kerr trophy and the
Con Ron award. The competition
was for ladies over 50 years of age
and handicap above 36. Debbie’s
game has really improved and it was
great to see her rewarded for her
good play.
The Wednesday seniors had to
play on Tuesday last week because
of Bull Day on Wednesday but still
managed a pretty good turnout. The
18 golfers enjoyed a beautiful
morning with Lloyd Lamont
winning low net followed by Doug
Neil and Ed Daer. Daer also shot a
38 for low gross for the morning
and Grant Currie won the longest
putt award.
On Wednesday the club welcomed
many golfers to the club on the
animal CKNX Bull Day. The rain
managed to hold off, making it a
super day for both the golfers and
the club.
The Thursday night men again had
superb numbers as 57 golfers hit the
links. The winners were: closest to
the pin, Gerry Edwards and Aart
DeVos; longest putt, Doug
Vanderwould and “Mr. Softball”
John McTavish; hidden scores, Ed
Collison, Gerald Coghlin and Pete
Inglis and most honest golfer Joe
O’Rourke. Mark Foxton shot a great
round of 37 for low gross honours.
On Friday, Aug. 27, the club
hosted a group from the Belgrave
Co-op. The golfers enjoyed nine
holes of golf followed by lunch in
the dining lounge. On Friday night,
long-time member Dan Campbell
had a hole-in-one on the very tough
par three second hole with a four
iron. Congratulations Dan!
On Saturday, the club hosted the
annual lefty/righty Ryder cup
tournament. The righties with a
“rent-a-lefty”T.P. Powell came away
victorious to pick up the trophy. The
lefties are already looking for
revenge in 2011.
Next Wednesday, Sept. 8, the club
is hosting the John Mallick
Memorial senior tournament.
There are still a few spots
available. Anyone interested
please call the pro shop as soon as
possible.
OUT OF BOUNDS NEWS
It is sure great to see some familiar
faces coming back to Wingham for a
round of golf, Bruce Lott, Don
Gurney, Ken Taylor, Mac McLeod,
Paul Fluery, Doug Ewing and John
McTavish just to name a few. It sure
brings back some great memories
for many of our members.
