On the ball
The teams were on the field in the rain for a good cause last weekend in Ethel while BZGZ
took on Ball-Less at a slo-pitch tournament. The teams were competing on behalf of the
McCarty family of Listowel, who have two children, Xander, one, and Chase, three, who have
been afflicted with cancer, but are currently in remission. (Shawn Loughlin photo)

Sports
There was a complete turnaround
in the weather this past week and
the Wingham Golf and Curling
Club sure felt the difference. A cold
wet start to the week hopefully isn’t
a sign of what October weather is
going to be.
The Tuesday night ladies were
unable to golf but enjoyed their
closing night with supper in the
clubhouse. Twenty-six of the gals
came out and relaxed, chatted and
shared some laughs.
Linda Walker has taken over the
job as ladies’captain. Carol Oriold,
former captain, did a great job and
will help Linda maintain the quality
of leadership and organization in
the future. Good luck Linda.
The Wednesday men had a cold
wet morning but some of the
diehards came to golf.
Winners were: Wayne Gordon,
first; Jamie Sanderson, second; and
Bill Johnston, third.
Thursday night men had their
final official night but weather
permitting can, and I am sure will,
still be out for a few more weeks.
Buff’s group tried a different
format this week as every golfer
was only allowed two clubs of their
choice and a putter. A nice light bag
and very interesting strategy.
The winners were: closest to the
pin, Richard Watson; longest putt,
Dwight Leslie, John Nicholson and
Watson; hidden score, Perry Haulk
and Neil Bieman. The low gross
was Dave Gamble with a 32.
Saturday the club hosted a three-
man scramble tournament. Twenty-
seven golfers came keen to play in
this 18-hole, best-ball event. But
after three stoppages due to rain
and lingering clouds the boys called
it quits after nine holes.
Cheryl served the guys lunch and
they all left almost dry and in good
spirits.
OUT OF BOUNDS
It was great to see a couple teams
from Blyth out playing in our three-
man scramble this past weekend.
