Short Putts - By Bill Johnston
Sunday, July 16, the Battle of the
Ages at the Wingham golf course
turned out to be a battle against the
heat as the temperature zoomed
above 30°C and humidity was at a
very high level.
This cut the field of participants
and 24 golfers took part in a four-
man scramble. What a battle it was.
Three teams ended tied with scores
of nine under par.
One winner was made up of Joel
and Jerrad Riley, Zack O'Krafka
and Jim Ross. Another winner
consisted of Trevor Hopf, Don Rae,
Mark Hackett and Jamie Chester.
The third winner who recorded
the only eagle of the day with a
three on the par five first hole
• consisted of golfers Kirk Stewart,
Warren Inglis, James King and
Dean Tiffin.

On July 18, several ladies
competed for the McKinney
trophy, an 18-hole competition
with handicaps.
Competition was keen and after
the first nine several golfers were
tied for the honours but on the back
nine Linda Walker with pars on
holes three, five, six and eight
pulled away from the pack to
capture the trophy with low net.
Her low gross of 88 was also top
for the day.
***
Wednesday, Aug. 2 is a big day
for the ladies and some of the best
golfers in the area will be on hand
for the ladies' invitational. It is an
18-hole competition with an 11
a.m. shotgun start with four flights
with handicap cards required.
***
There were 18 out for
Wednesday seniors' play with
some new names on the leader
board. Jim Ross had a great round
with pars on holes one, two, four
and five to tie for top honours with
Roger Lloyd.
Next in line were Bill Deans and
Don Rae, with Don recording a
birdie on hole one and pars on
holes three, six, seven and nine.
The final prize was won by Ken
Saxton.
***
Wednesday men's night
continues to be popular and it is
nice to see a good turnout of the
younger crowd.
In the A flight Rob Gallaher
captured low gross with a 37 with
low net a tie between Trevor Hopf
and Trevor Machan.
In the B flight low gross with a
40 was Bill Dauphin with Joe Clark
and Shawn Cottrill tied for the low
net. Skins were won by Al Godfrey,
hole three and Joel Riley, hole nine.
Closest to the pin winners were
John Dailleboust on hole two and
Curt Knight on number seven.
And believe it or not, with 24
golfers out, no one could hit the
green on number five i--- that must
be a first.
***
With early afternoon rain and
threatening skies Thursday night's
crew was down to 14 golfers. There
were two new names on the leader
board as top spot was a tie between
Dennis Knox and Jack McPherson,
both with 41.
With the numbers down the skins
were well distributed with Jack
McPherson with three and single
skins to golfers Ross Danbrook,
Rob Gallaher, Art DeVos, Jim
Ross, Brian LaChance, and Murray
Coghlin.
Winner of the longest putt on
number eight was Ross Danbrook.
***
Monday night's storm caused a
little havoc hitting a maple tree
behind the fifth tee-off and putting
the clubhouse into darkness until
early Wednesday afternoon.

three points and a spot in the quarter-
final game.
Blyth Thunder met Clinton United
at the Fleming Field for the quarter
final game on July 22 at 11:15 a.m.
L. VanDorp started out as goalkeeper
and he did a fantastic job making
many great saves to keep Blyth in
the game. However, Clinton was
ahead 2-0 at halftime.
Zach Drost made a good effort
covering the net for Blyth during the
second half of the game. Clinton was
first to score after they kicked the
ball into the top shelf of the net on a
corner kick.
Drost just wasn't tall enough to
stop that ball. Halfback Charlene
Schramm booted the ball up the field
high shot from the corner. Blyth was
leading the game 1-0.
Clinton was not to be outdone and
soon took control of the ball. Time
and time again, Lightning's defence
and goalie Wyatt Bearss made some
great saves but Milan pulled ahead
with three goals.
With the score at 3-1, Blyth's
Tyler Guetter took control of the ball
and popped it to Alex Peters. From
the centre line, Peters took a long
hard shot. Milan's goalie almost had

but was unable to get the ball past
Clinton's strong defence and
goalkeeper. The final score was 4-1
for Clinton.
This loss put Blyth Thunder out of

gaining ball control and making
accurate passes to get to the quarter
