At last the weatherman co-operated and Wednesday men’snight, at the Wingham golf course,
after two weeks of weather wash-
out, rolled into initial action with
17 on hand.
The Hopf family walked off with
top honours as Kevin Hopf
captured low gross with a 40,
ringing up five pars. In second spot
was Brendon Chester and third was
John Dailleboust.
Low-net winner was Eric Hopf,
with Joe Clark second and Kent
McPherson third. Roger Lloyd was
closest to the pin on number four
and Brendon Chester closest to the
pin on number eight. No one hit the
green on the par-three second hole.
Skins were won by Brendon
Chester, Roger Lloyd and Joe
Clark.
***
And again the numbers grew as
30 golfers were out for Thursday
night action.
Once more a Teeswater golfer hit
the leader board as Dave Gamble
came in with a 38 for low score. In
second was Ed Daer with a 39
followed by Rob Gallaher with 40.
Bill Robinson made the longest
putt on the fifth green and Rob
Gallaher matched the hidden score
with his 40.
The saying “Wingham par threes
are tough” held true. Despite 30
golfers no one was able to hit the
green on number eight.
***
The first hole-in-one wasrecorded last Friday morning asWhitechurch-area golfer Greg
Dwyer sank his drive on the 171-
yard par-three, eighth hole.
Congratulations Greg.
***
Speaking of holes-in-one pro
shop employee Michelle Nixon, a
first-year golfer came mighty close
on the 145 yard, par-three fourth
hole. When she sank her birdie putt
she was observed by a foursome on
the third fairway doing an excitable
“Nixon birdie dance”.
Well done Michelle. Too bad
grandpa Gerry Edwards was not
along to enjoy the excitement.
