Just singin’ and dancing in the rain: With the threat of thunderstorms and how that impacts other lingering injuries in our aging bodies, we had four guys cancel just before the opening bell today.  There were more moves on the tee sheet this week than a Fred Astaire dance card!  The majority of the field today loved the hot, humid weather.  As you will see, pay points were flying off scorecards like an Oprah Winfrey TV give-away.  Forty-three golfers teed it up today.

 

In case you were wondering, Rahul made it safely to the golf course this morning.

 

No Holds Barred: The top of the podium was wide open today as our two leading pay point earners were unable to play.  Kinda, just kinda, similar to Scottie Scheffler opting out of the RBC Canadian Open.  So, with a wide-open field, this gentleman’s golf game rose in accordance with the “barr-o-metric” pressure.  Taking full advantage of moving to yellow tees, Mr. Dennis Barr, lead the way with 2 birdies, 48 total quota points and a season high 12 pay points! Dennis birdied the 3rd and 11th hole en-route to a great round of 84. You were a real Menace out there today, Dennis!

 

La Deuxieme Etoile: I mean, if it wasn’t for Google, I wouldn’t know any French.  This huge Hab’s fan stick handled his way around the course to the tune of 46 quota points.  Ma Oui, (but of course), it was Denis Gagnon, who failed to make a quota on only three holes today and drained a birdie on hole #14.  Denis told me he would personally like to nominate his Booker, Chris, for “Booker of the Year” consideration.  Je vais voir ce que je peux faire a ce sujet et bravo Denis!

 

Bronze Medal: Rounding out the Winner’s Circle with 44 quota points, and I would like to add that he is always “well turned out” on the course, was the suitably attired Sam Swaminath. I played earlier this season with Sam and he was dynamite off the tee. Today he must have put his driving game together with his short game. He draining a birdie on hole #7 and posted a fine score of 84.  To the guy who owns more golf sleeves than I own Tilley’s, smartly played Sam!

   

Monday Stats that may interest only me;

Lowest round of the day: Hey, hey, dualling rounds of 80.  They go to Gordon Good and Julian Oates. Get these splits, Gord (36/44); Julian (42/38)!

Top Bird Dog: It was our mister designate this week, Dennis Barr with two! On a day when there were 18 birdies, Lyn Sartori was the only player who made a birdie but did not convert it to cash.  Lyn’s birdie came on hole #12.  Hole #11 was birdied 6 times today.  All other birdies are listed below.

Best Played Hole by one 4-Some: With 8 four-somes on the course it was the Irwin group who played #11 to -2.  Birdies for Dave Webster and Dennis Barr, with pars helpers from John Irwin and David Ballingall.
