Flashback Friday - Nov 28

From 1995, we have the winners of the Woods-Shaw Trophy (alternate shot): Sandy Pegg and June Savery. I am not sure why they are dressed the way they are, but we used to have themes at our Opening and Closing Field Days.

And June must have won a "closest to the pin" competition during the field Day, 

or she's buying wine for her table:

I think the photographer just wanted another picture of the outfit!

Don't forget the Christmas Buffet on Dec 12 for $16.95 ++. 

Email me by Dec 5 if you want to join us.

Save the date and Flashback Friday - Nov 14

Chef Jennifer is once again putting on her fabulous Christmas Buffets on three Fridays in Dec. How about getting together on Dec 12 at 12 noon for some Christmas cheer, camaraderie, and lunch? The cost is $16.95 plus tax and gratuity. Send me an email (jbeaith@sympatico.ca) by Dec 5 to book a spot for you at the table. I will send you back an email confirming your attendance. All are welcome on 12/12 at 12!

Thanks to Joan, our Tuesday convenor, "Harry" was revived this year. He has a long and glorious history with our Section. Here are some pictures of Harry over the years:

1997 - Will Fiona Crouch keep Harry or will she pass him on to Sandy Pegg? By the way she is leaning, it looks like Sandy doesn't really want him. Harry was part of our White Elephant night and the tradition was you could keep your W.E. gift or trade it to the next person.

 Harry was so popular that buttons were made for the proud adoptive mothers. 

Thanks, Sandi for the photo.

How is Harry even standing up with that healthy appendage?

Tish Godfrey was the proud winner of Harry in 2004!

And our most recent "owner" of Harry is Catherine Watson.

Flashback Friday - Nov 7

For those of you who have been around since before 2000, here is a trip down memory lane. For those who joined after, here is what our clubhouse used to look like before the renovation:

The view from #10 fairway before :

The tree in the foreground was removed so the cart path could go between 10 and 16 tee. Before, you walked down the right side of #10 tee and more than one person was hit by a stray shot on #15.  You may also notice the small hedge that surrounded the putting green.  You can see the windows on the first floor that were in the "lower bar".

Additions were made to both ends of the building:

The view from #16 fairway before:

The former deck in front was only about 6 or 7 feet wide and was really of little use.  Although our enlarged deck doesn't get the traffic that it should, at least the women take advantage of that space regularly. That building to the right was the pro shop. Note that little evergreen tree in the middle.


And today:

It's grown considerably!! The addition of the red tee on 16 makes for a much better hole. The gardens around the clubhouse, which were never there before the renovation,  look spectacular in season.

Look for more "Flashback Fridays" coming up.....
