At nineteen degrees Celsius there was no weather forecast of rain at all around the GTA region. Were we getting the summer idyllic weather finally? As a matter of fact, with twenty-one players plus two guests, mostly were figuring out to get a share of Super Series weekend contest prize. We were greeted by blue skies that stuck around long enough for the sun to come out and gave us the ideal scenario to play a round of golf.
Sun was shining so who shone, performance wise at Royal Woodbine golf course last Sunday? SGC played this venue a million times in the past and could get the best of the players at most times. We seldom saw a consistent winner surprisingly.
Another tie for the winning day prize. This Sunday was the fourth time in five rounds so far where we had lowest scores in the 60s for the same feat provided by what else, two more players. Share and share alike, would you say? A couple of wily senior veterans – Sennix Bontigao and Seho Oh accomplished the exploit by signing net score of well-deserved 65. Seho who was knocking on the door for his first two rounds by placing second place in both occasions, righted the ship this time around. His co-winner, Sennix I gathered, had the best time of his life disheartening his three other players in his group by converting numerous par putt saves most of them not on makeable locations. More said of these two gentlemen later this page. Way to go seniors.
What could you say about Jimmy Manguerra? His consistency proved that most golf courses could be had with his performance of late. Together with Seho Oh, a sparkling gross of 78 for both, nailed the best gross score of the day. Admiration for Seho would not end here folks as there was a big, huge age gap between these two gentlemen.
Nassau Corners: All you had to do was try to score low and get the big ‘W’ to take care of everything, right? That what these two members did by separating themselves from the field with a runaway net 65. Seho Oh and Sennix Bontigao tied the total net and in dominance Sennix took the front nine, Seho grabbed the back.
Super Series: Both Seho Oh, yes there he was again, and Sennix Bontigao with an emphatic net of 65 sealed the victory. Sennix could now release a big sigh of relief after not hearing from him for almost a year. Coming in third place was Jimmy Manguerra while sharing fourth place were Bingoy Peña and Jess Velarde.
Par 3 contest: One of our habitual winners for this contest – Julio Rodriguez, did it again by winning the seventh hole. And of course, the hottest player of the day – Seho Oh came out the winner on fourteenth hole.
Month 1 contest: You snooze, you lose. Would you believe, it was hard charging Seho Oh again who got the previous leaders with aggregate three net score of 203. He got past JC Montilla by three strokes and Rey Plaza by whopping six strokes.
Congratulations to Seho and Sennix. What a performance. What a day for these two gents. We might as well call last Sunday’s as Seho day.
