Greetings from your Games Captain,

I had, with enthusiasm, scheduled the Ponting Tournament for Tuesday, June 15. But given the very late start to the golf season, the fact that there is no chance to gather after the event and that things still seem to be in a state of flux, I am suggesting that we postpone it to later in the year. Joan Hayward who is the convenor agreed as did the DWS committee.

Although this may be a blight on my quest to be the Games Captain of 2021 with no games under her belt, the season is still young! 

Keep your head down and keep swinging. 😎

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hallelujah! We are finally back on the course!!
Unfortunately, we are still under COVID restrictions, and cannot gather at the 19th hole. 🍺🍷🍔🌭🥗

Soooooo . . . we thought it would be fun to resurrect our DC (During COVID) Golf Tales Take 2! This will allow us to share our joys and laughter among our group while we can’t do so in person!

To refresh your memory, we will summarize your best, your hilarious and your 'you won’t believe this 😳' golf stories at the end of each month. This means you must get your stories and/or pics to us so we have lots to share and keep us in touch in a light, fun-filled manner!

We had a lot of fun with this last year and would really like to keep it going so don’t forget to get your stories to Barb or she will hunt you down, and you know she ain’t kidding 🕵️‍♀️

We hope you enjoy your time on the course, and wish you many good scores, and many happy moments, which then must be shared with your golf friends!!

See you on the course 🏌️‍♀️
Anne and Barb

 Only two days into our restart and we have our first hole-in-one.

Congratulations to Patty McDonald on her first hole-in-one on #4!!!

According to Lynn Attley "It was a perfect shot in line with the pin, landed on the green and directly to the hole...no luck required.

OPENING FIELD DAY

MAY 30, 2021

From Anne Parks:

Well, ladies, I am sorry to announce that once again we have had to cancel our Opening Field Day scheduled for May 30. Given that 25% of our season will have passed by the first week of June, it seems a tad silly to consider re-scheduling. 

At the rate we are going, your Games Captain will go down in history as the one who cancelled the most women's events. Surely there is an achievement pin for that!!

From Sandi MacDonald:

Most of the work on bridge is completed on #15.

CAN'T WAIT

 The fairways look to be in fantastic shape. They are working on the electrical wiring under the bridge on #15 so watering can start.

Let’s think of her enjoying the land of eternal sunny golf days and raise a shot in her honour as we say our own goodbyes to her. 🥃

We will all miss you Diane!

The family of Diane Moffat have given us the very sad news that Diane will not be returning to Dalewood as she has been diagnosed with Cancer and is currently receiving palliative care.

 

We are all heartbroken by this news.

 

It has, however, provided us with an opportunity to express our support and love for Diane in a very concrete way: letting her know how much we have valued and enjoyed our times together at Dalewood and that she will always be a part of this community.

 

A bench dedicated to Diane is being purchased to be placed by the Red Tee box 

on the 17^th hole.

 

If you would like to participate in the purchase of this bench you can leave a donation in the 

Pro Shop or you can e-transfer your donation to lynn.attley@gmail.com. 

 

Please make sure you leave your name with your donation if giving it to the pro-shop.  

When we tell Diane we want her know the names of all those who have contributed so she can feel the love…like a hug from each and every one of you.

 

With thanks 

 

Barb, Yvonne, Patty & Lynn

What could be better than the Masters Tournament and the opening of the golf season at Dalewood on the same weekend? 

..... Well, a couple of things - thankfully, golf was not included in the provincial shutdown! Yahoo!

And you don't even need to keep score for a week since Ontario's "Active Season" runs from April 15 to October 31. You may keep score if you want, but it can't be entered for handicap purposes.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND PLAYING AND WATCHING GOLF!!

 This crew knows how to dress up for the golf simulator during the week before Christmas:

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!

JORDAN'S SOCK DRIVE

With this past two days of wintry weather, now is a good time to think about: 

JORDAN'S SOCK DRIVE 

"Back in 2015 my granddaughter, Jordan, had a goal of collecting 100 pairs of socks to give to the homeless and people living in shelters.  She collected around 1,000 pairs the first year.  Since then every year she has collected socks and last year alone the total was around 25,000 pairs that were distributed.

2020 has been a very difficult year on so many levels but Jordan has decided she would still like to collect socks as they are always needed.  Of course all socks collected in Cobourg/Port Hope will stay in the area and go to the Salvation Army, Cornerstone and the women's shelter." - Marlene Randall

Last year we collected socks at our Christmas luncheon, which Sandi passed on to Jordan's grandmother, a fellow curler.

If anyone would like to contribute to the sock collection again this year, you can drop them off to Sandi (2684 Theatre Rd) by Sunday, Dec 13. I would be happy to collect Port Hope contributions and they can be dropped off at my place (81 Strachan St) by Dec 12.
