A message from Diane Moffat:

Hello Friends

I'm sad to update that George passed away at 1:43 Saturday afternoon.

George will be cremated & there will be no funeral service however there will be a celebration of life gathering later on.

Thanks so much for your love & support.

Devil's Tournament

So that's what a normal summer day feels like! The weather cooperated beautifully for our 7th Annual Devil's Tournament. We had a great turnout with 36 players and hopefully everyone had a great time playing the 6-6-6 format.

Our dinners provided by Chef Jen and our "Olympic Medals".

Gold Medal Winners Sharon Klan and Ene Milner

Silver Medal Winners Janet Hull and Sally Okazawa

Bronze Medal Winners Gail Richards and Diane Arsenault

Out of the Medals but in fourth place were Tracey Bodashefsky and Pierrette Heydon

What are the chances of two people hitting from the same spot to almost the same place? Dale and Rosemarie hit their shots within inches of each other on #9 during the scramble portion of the game. Decisions, decisions! Hopefully the chose the one closer to the green!

The Results:

Hole-in-one!!

Congratulations to Joan Hayward who had her third hole-in-one on Saturday, Aug 20. It was on #8 and during our women's skins game, so no one beat her net 0! Thanks for the drinks, Joan!

Triathlon results

Triathlon is a cruel sport. Andrew Yorke suffered a crash, unable to avoid a fallen cyclist ahead of him. He finished the race, a little worse for wear with scrapes and cuts.

A rainy Tuesday!!

 Ironically, on a rain date for Team Play, there is no play at all since the course is closed. We've had pretty good luck with weather since that first year of Team Play.

Make sure you sign up for the Devil's Tournament next Tuesday, Aug 23. It's always a fun event where two players are paired together, one from the higher handicap group and one from the lower half. We play 6 holes better ball, 6 scramble and 6 alternate shot. The cost is $10 for prizes. Please also make a food selection if you are staying for dinner (and why wouldn't you?).

Please be at the club by 11:15 on Aug 23 for the pairings draw, to give us time to prepare the cards, and the back shop time to get carts sorted out.

Profile of Andrew Yorke and Summer Party

 I came across this profile of Andrew Yorke, grandson of Gerry and his home town of Caledon, ON on CBC. If you can't click on this to open it, just copy and paste into the address box at the top of the page: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wUBfjh7Zefc
We'll all be cheering for him on Aug 18 in the triathlon.

Although there were no holes-in-ones on the golf course, a good time was had by all who attended. Great BBQ was put on by Jen and her staff and then enjoyable entertainment by Andy Earle for awhile, and then Caroline, Louisa and Mitch. Great job, folks! About 80 people were there to enjoy the evening and it was actually pleasantly cool sitting in the shade!! Thanks Jamie, Dave, and Mackenzie for a fun afternoon and evening.
