October. Autumn leaves changing color. Cold temps. To most golfers like us at this time of year, we expected colder temperatures. But wait; at twenty-five degrees Celcius last Sunday at Kingsforest golf course, we were blessed with that warm idyllic weather aside from the slight breeze humming over our heads. Thirty-three players sweated it out but approvingly no complaints whatsoever as far as the weather conditions were concerned. How could we? Game one of two games of Grand Finals just concluded and a lot at stake for the grand finale next Sunday including Super Series Sunday, Most Improved Player, & Monthly not to mention the most coveted of them all SGC titles – POY and Senior POY. For most of us who are not contending for the above mentioned awards, we are still invigorated of winning other prizes such as Nassau corners, closest to the pin contest and the bragging rights of scoring the lowest net. Why not so?
SGC welcomes once again new members this year. They proved that after their agonizing initiation stage – handicapping process, adjusting to new acquaintances et al, they participated in joining SGC’s fun contests and winning – the Don Cs. the Brian Ks., the Rickey Rs. to name a few. I believed we all went through this process at one point, did we not? One veteran golfer who just joined us this year, Ross B. finally showed his true grit with his savvy golf skills to win in 16 & under format contest. Ross would be one of those to be reckoned with in years to come – contending, if not winning most often than not.
Nassau: We have a mainstay member who has the most peculiar ability to pick the right time to get his golf game in tip top shape whenever he wants to. Sennix B. signed in a net of 69, the only score of the day that was in the 60s earning him solo 50 points. He won the back nine and total convincingly. Jojo D. who is always in the hunt nowadays got the front nine with a gross score of 39. Now try to beat that people. Nice.
16 & under Nassau format:
Front: Ross B.
Back: Ed I., Oscar J., Exe N., Rene Q.
Total: Ross B., Jojo D.
Closest to the pin:
4 – Dave N.
7 – Don C.
15 – Oscar J.
17 – Mar DV.
