It was certainly a busy week at the Wingham Golf Club both on the course and in the clubhouse. *** Monday was busy with many of the girls playing nine holes prior to the free golf clinics in the late afternoon. Dave Meriam from Goderich sure had his work cut out for him as over 30 ladies were there for the clinic. Many topped the day off with a get-together over dinner. *** The ladies' match play is now down to eight competitors. In the next round matches are as follows: Sylvia Pewtress versus Fern Wylie, Judy Cullen versus Alicia Appleby, Steph Jacques versus Peg Cameron and Linda Walker versus Pauline Pegg. *** It was ideal weather Tuesday for the Bull 94.5 FM golf day. And what a turnout! Every tee-off time from early morning until after 7 p.m. was booked as golfers, young and old from near and afar, took advantage of the special rate of $9.45 for an enjoyable day of golf at Wingham promoted by the local radio station. *** Both teams played an aggressive game, but Goderich had a stronger starting half and scored two goals before the half-time whistle blew. Greg Roetcisoender put on the goalie gear for the second half of the game. In spite of the fact that Blyth was down to two subs on such a hot night, the team played an outstanding second half.

Jason LeRoux, with birdies on the first and fifth holes, came in with a 35 for low gross in the A division while Mark Foxton captured low gross in the B flight with a 38.

Maxine Robinson was mighty proud of her birdie on number nine at the Bluewater ladies tourney. Greg Storey saw an eagle at the Seaforth club, not the flying kind bur rather a golf eagle as playing partner Brian Carr holed his second shot on the par four first hole for an eagle two. The lightning storm on Sunday, July 9 struck the basswood near number one green — splitting and peeling the bark off the tree.
