Pot of Gold winners (in the tiny circle):

Lori Sheffield, Joan Hayward

Where did this come from?  Hard hats recommended.

But later Donna won the 50/50 draw and felt much better!

And we had "TWIN PATTIES".

Aeration is taking place on one of the nines, so we will play the other nine twice if we want to play 18 holes. A suggestion is to play the proposed orange tees the second time around. It will be an interesting comparison for you and a little less boring. There is no "toonie game" on Tuesday.

You will be able to enter a nine hole score for the first 9 on red, but not the second from the proposed orange as they are not rated.

 Welcome to Dalewood, Dawn McMaster!

Born: Belleville 

I have played golf since I was a little kid. Hard to believe that means more than a half century!

I love the challenge of the game, the feeling when you hit a great shot (too rare!), and the social aspect of the sport. And I get to be outside - my happy place.

My goal for this year is to improve the consistency of my long game and to play smarter on/around the green. I also want to try more organized golf as opposed to ‘family rules'. And most importantly, meet others who enjoy the game.

My favourite hole is #8. Fun hole and delicious apples! My least favourite is #1. It is discouraging to start each game with a big number on the card. 

Favourite #19th hole drink would be a cold beer on a hot day.

I love to garden, cycle, hike and previously, ride horses.

Formerly a middle and high school science teacher, finishing my job as Director of Curriculum, MYP and DP Coordinator. I still teach occasionally for OISE. 

I am married with two grown children. My daughter sometimes plays with us at Dalewood.

Welcome to the Women's Section, Rachel Jackson.

Born and live: Cobourg

How long have you played golf? 18 years

What do you like most about golf? That you can see results if you put in the work. There are always areas to improve.

Your goal in golf this year: Consistently shoot in the low 80's / high 70's and play with some people I have never played with before.

Favourite: #12 ... works perfectly for my slice. ;)

Least favourite: #1... I know I am not alone on this one.

Job or former one: Used to work at Dalewood (and was a junior golfer here) - going to be working at The Oasis in the summer. Come visit me!

Thank you to the Golf Committee for hosting an informative and lively Opening Meeting on Saturday. The brunch was delicious! 

President Su Morrow kept the meeting moving along with her usual good humour. Linda MacDonald detailed our treasurer's report and minutes from last fall's meeting. VP Laura McCracken Ebbrell introduced new members. The calendar for our season's events was distributed by Games Captain Sandy Young - the dates on the left of the blog will be updated as needed. Handicap and Match Play convenor Dale Hodge reminded us to keep an up-to-date handicap - she is available to help. Those new to Dalewood need to see one of the clerks in the pro shop, assistant pro Nick, or manager Craig to get onto the Golf Canada website to enter your scores. 

We will continue to use google docs to sign up for Tuesday golf, with a 'strict' warning from Lynn Attley not to change your groupings. If you have to cancel, inform the pro shop, not Lynn. If you don't receive notification of your time by Monday, check on the Chronogolf site.

Annabel Thorpe was the lucky person who walked away (literally) with a pair of new golf shoes generously donated by Head Pro Brad Pemberton. We collected $320.00 for the 11 families who are coming to Port Hope from Ukraine. If you would like more information about this charity please follow this link:

Have a great golf season!!

Sincere condolences from the Women's Section to Jen Robison and Nancy Robison on the passing of their father on May 4.
