Twenty-eight players including one promising new member got the thrills to play last Sunday at Royal Ontario golf course because of getting a break from the weather, finally. The weather men forecasted a day or two earlier of rain and thunderstorm all day. Never happened. They could be wrong at times and their noses getting longer every time they gave a weather forecast and the opposite happened.  At twenty-five degrees Celsius, it was kind of muggy and very humid. We could not complain. We’d take this kind of weather phenomena any day of the week…..er every Sunday. That was sure funny when you looked at the weekly weather forecast for the past month showing every day with sun coming out and no sign of precipitation except, yes except Sunday.

Sunday’s golf banter: SGC got this golf course eaten alive by its members as indicated by low scores turned in by the players. How could I say that? It was haunting though for I knew some of the players who could not get it going on this golf course had for sure shown us yesterday as if they were playing on the final day Sunday at the US Open. One memorable score simply aghast the membership when someone carded a net of 62. Dave Nelson who skipped the GTAA Interleague Tournament a Sunday ago outfoxed the field with that low net tally. SGC could have used that kind of scoring at the GTAA event, could we not? Dave N. is considered one of those who possessed the sweetest golf swings we have ever seen. Nicely done.

 

It was deliberated yesterday that it was a Korean Sunday. Sam K. convincingly took the Nassau front while Seho O. with that magic drink of his, captured the back nine. Not to be outdone ReyMac got the overall.

In the sharpshooting contest, again it was Sam K. got his mojo going by firing the closest to the pin on hole 8. Joey C. who also was the first one to be closest to hole 8 but got beaten by Sam, won the par 3 eleventh.

Bring your A-game next week as it is Super Series Sunday and the culmination of race to month two. Good luck to all.

 

 

 

Congratulations to the winners. Thanks for the round of drinks.
