Here comes the sun, doo, doo, doo, doo, here comes the sun and I say “It’s alright”.
This week this Beatle ditty came to mind as we played a lovely round of golf on a sunny warm Canada Day. No mosquitos, no rain...it just doesn’t get much better.
Some of our regulars must have been out celebrating with their families so we were a few less than our usual number.
Marla Muldoon had a fantastic game scoring a wonderful 39 and picked up the low gross for Flight 1. She had three (count them, three) birdies and a deuce and needed a wheelbarrow to haul home her prizes. Other prizes that Marla earned were long drive on Hole 5 (AG Foods), KP on Hole 6 (EBL Ventures), long putt on Hole 9 (Country Store Antiques) and least putts (13 - Interior Savings Credit Union).
Deb Rainer scored a 47 to win the low net for Flight 1 which is sponsored by Thompson Valley Awards. This week Flight 2 was sponsored by Ron Wallace Trucking with low gross going to Barbes Shanko with a score of 48 and low net going to Deb Winiski with a score of 52. Jen Amos scored a 60 to win low gross for Flight 3.
When it came to pin prizes Irene Beeton, Deb Winiski and Jen Amos were multiple winners. Irene came closest to the golfer on Hole 1 (Rainer Custom Cutting), had a long drive in 2 on Hole 2 (Station House Restaurant) and sunk a long putt on Hole 5 (Barriere A&W). Deb had a long putt on Hole 2 to win the Val Bella Studio certificate and a KP on Hole 6 to win the Stamer Logging prize. Jen Amos had a KP on Hole 4 to win the prize sponsored by her mom (Carl’s Market Garden) and a long drive on Hole 8 (Barriere Massage).
Single prize winners were many. Chris LeCerf had a long drive in 2 on Hole 1 to win the Knights Inn certificate. The Shais Design certificate was won by Carol Willox for a long drive on Hole 2. KPs on Hole 4 were won by Donna Salle (Campbell & Co) and Betty Baillie (Bondar Forest Planning). Aundrey Rilcoe won the Armour Moutain Office Services prize with a long putt. Betty Foote had a KP in 2 on Hole 7 to win the Barriere Timber Mart certificate.
Thanks to Barb and Carman Smith, six ladies took home a new ball...to replace the ones they drove into the gully.
On Hole 8 Debbie Pearce had a long putt to win the Crystlee’s Hair Design prize. On Hole 9 Evelyn Lucas took the Estylo Hair Design certificate with a long drive and Hazel Cross picked up the coveted cup from Pottery by Ramona for a long putt. Brittany
Bobinski had the dubious honour of most putts used to win the Interior Savings Credit Union prize. Newlywed Trudy Forsythe picked up a share of the birdie pot. We finished the evening with a celebratory cake honouring birthdays...Debbie Rainer’s and Canada’s. I have been advised that Debbie is not as old as Canada.
