No rain. No disturbance. No interruption whatsoever from mother nature at last Sunday’s round 12 at Kingsforest. Merci beaucoup. With the sun beaming brightly at twenty-two players that showed up and played, we had all afternoon long with a slight breeze coming from the Hamilton peninsula at twenty-six degrees Celsius. All we gotta do was play and play good. Whaaat? Play good? This golf course somewhat got the best of us a lot of times. It was playing long and hard as indicated by high scores presented by the maddening crowd. A number of players were sighing grief about the slowness of putting greens. Good turn out by members as weather phenomena turning out to be in golfer’s favour………finally. It was not an ideal situation getting to the golf course as QEW traffic was quite heavy and infuriating at around noontime. This was the first time that SGC ever travelled to Hamilton at this time of day. Was it because of the tee off time change from AM to PM or Niagara had casino specials over the weekend?

Golf results: Mar Deveyra & Jojo Dizon carded the same net score of 71. Tying them for the day’s prize and of course the Nassau total net score. Bong Munson garnered himself another win by capturing Nassau front while our consistent always in the payroll every week member – Julio Rodriguez grabbed the back nine. Mind you, to add to his collection of “what more could you give me” moment, Julio also shot an eagle at the par 5 hole number four.

 

 

 

 

 

Closest to the pin contest: Seho Oh who we had not heard from for quite some time now, shot the closest at hole number 7 while Ed Ilao seized hole fourteenth.

 

 

 

 

Congratulations to the winners. Mucho abrigado to Ross Bautista for the round of drinks and food he provided. Remember his hole-in-one two weeks ago at Glen Cedars?
