Good to know when SGC members felt that an incentive was to follow after last Sunday’s exhausting round at Royal Ontario with refreshing and delicious meal. Thanks to the Deocas’ hospitality, players enjoyed the happy hours dining, drinking, bonding and playfully playing cards with few ducats at stake at Pat’s place. Although the invitation was extended to every member few players did not make it due to prior personal commitments. Also in display were the two “green jackets” donated by Pat D. awaiting the winners of regular POY and the Senior POY.

SGC is also proud to introduce its new members this year – Sam Kim, Brian Bontigao, Rene Querubin, and Dave Nelson who at one time was a member years ago. We welcome all new friends wholeheartedly to our summer past time.

ROUND: This blog did warn you boys earlier about SGC’s only rose among thorns racking up wins by posting low scores almost every time she showed up and played. Yes indeed, Lina M. definitely opened a lot of our eyes by carding another low net score of 65 after shooting 66 last week. Another veteran, Jun P. showed he’s still an authority to reckon with by posting net of sizzling 67. Admired that spectacular third shot by Jun P. on the ninth par 5 hole from the left rough to the left of the cart path with 130 yards to go swinging indiscriminately with his stance closed to the bushes. Stuck it less than three yards to the pin and made the bird. Oscar J. who seldom leaves his love nest in Niagara to play with us, had a good round with net of 67 as well.

NASSAU: Oscar J. rewarded by a good showing, clearly won overall with Dave N. taking the front nine and Bert C. took the back.

POY: One of these top five scenarios are in place after the sixteenth round it seemed. The focus again returned to the top two players. Manny C. and Jimmy M. are now tied for the lead with total twelve net scores of 879. Another switcheroo happened for third place as Ed I. grabbed third from Seho O. One member, Levi M. who came from nowhere stole the spotlight by climbing to fifth spot. Jojo D. who was holding the fifth position for quite a long period of time stumbled to desolation. Time to get up and show who the boss is, right Jo?

SENIOR POY: Good news for Seho O. who led this maiden contest by a hair of one point last week, increased his lead this time by six huge consoling points. Lagging behind in second place is Mar DV. tied with Exe N.

MIP: Race to Most Improved Player posted on our web a week ago requested by a member. Not much to say on this one except Manny M. seemed like the only one getting the improvement and going away with it. We’d like to see some of the young ones give him a run for his money.

Hopefully wishing that these players – Seb DM, Bong M. and Rey P. would join us play a round of golf sooner or later.

Congratulations to all winners!
