Short Putts - By Bill Johnston
Twenty were out for Wednesday
men's senior competition at the
Wingham golf course. Clayton
Ruppel with pars on two, five and
seven walked away with top prize
for the day. Tied for second, one
stroke back were Ray Walker and
Ken Saxton. There were no birdies
to report but more pars than usual.

Seniors will travel!
Such was the case on Thursday
as 10 of our seniors travelled to the
Somerhill Golf Club at Tiverton to
join that club's seniors in a day of
fun.
Our seniors were paired with two
of their seniors and were
introduced to their game of Dice
Scramble Golf. At the end of nine,
the top team with a score of two
under par was the Tiverton pair of
Ron Preszcator and Al
Schwichtenberg and our Bill
Dauphin and Glenn McMichael.
In second spot at one over were
Tiverton's Bob LaForge, Tony
Gunn, Gary Harrigan and
Wingham's Bob Johnston.
LaForge had the longest drive,
Lorne Seal was closest to the rope,
Wayne Graham was closest to the
Steelback barrel and closest to the
flag on number five was Bill
Dauphin. On number nine it was
Bill Johnston.
***
Despite threatening rain 35 were
out for Thursday night golf. Bill
Dauphin continued his winning day
taking top spot with Terry Powell,
Doug Vanderwoude, Lorne Miller
and Perry Hauck all tied in second
spot.
Skins were won by Perry Hauck
and Al Godfrey with Doug
Reinhart capturing the award for
longest putt on number nine.
***
Twenty-four were out for
Wednesday men's night. Low gross
in A flight with a 36 was Zack
O'Krafka with Jim Ross the best in
B flight with a 41. Low nets in A
flight were first, Jason LeRoux and
second Trevor Hopf. In the B flight
the top two low nets were even
better than the A flight as Jim
Sanford had a 23 and Kevin Green
a 28.
Closest to the pin awards went to
Joel Riley, Barry Reid and Zack
O'Krafka. Skins were won by Dan
Campbell, Barry Reid, Trevor Hopf
and Zack 0' Krafka.

The 2006 lefty/righty Ryder Cup
was played on Saturday with the
competition very keen. And once
again it proved the old saying the
Wingham course was designed for
lefties. I'm sure Lefty Wilf French
who designed the course is looking
down from above with a smile from
ear to ear.
