A day in a life of a golfer. Nothing but nothing a golfer wishes when it is time to come out and play golf but to catch a day with the sun shining brightly, feel a warm refreshing light breeze in the air and play without a chance of unfavourable weather conditions unexpectedly to occur. Well, weather temperature was close to that day when twenty-six players plus two guests showed up last Sunday at Royal Ontario golf course. Cloudy periods most of the day welcomed players with temperature warming up to comfortable eighteen degrees Celsius. Only hitch was the golf course surprised members with pricey green fee compared from last year. Anyway it was nice to see familiar faces playing for the first time armed with hope of a noble productive enjoyable year…don’t we all? Bless us all for the good health that is given to us.

Sunday’s golf chatter: This next story is merely a metaphor of unique achievements. Nothing else. In the1980 Kentucky Derby horse race which was the first leg of the prestigious Triple Crown, there was this only filly entree trying to run against the boys. The horse – Genuine Risk, not only won the race but she was just the second filly to win the notable event at that time. In the history of this race only three fillies up to now were able to win the derby. In our sport, golf that is, proves that gender means nothing when it comes to playing golf. This next thing is what’s going to get you. What could you say about someone who did not touch a golf club until game time? Most of us would say that there was no way you’d be playing at the top of your game and be number one result wise. It did not really matter folks. A win was a win. Lina Mayo brimming with a shot of confidence demonstrated that last Sunday by scorching the difficult course and the field by carding a net score of 65. She got rewarded with the day’s prize and left the boys behind her lost in her dust. Well done.

Nassau corners: Ed P. still fresh from a hot sweep a week ago grabbed the front nine while Bert C. took the back. Joey C. together with yet again Ed P. shared the lowest total score.

Appreciated a round of drinks provided by Ed P.

We are still hoping for these SGC regulars – Sennix B., Don D., Oscar J., Saed J., Rey Mac., Exe N., Jun P., & Julio R. – to come and join us.

Congratulations to the winners.
