At thirty-three degrees Celsius with the sun burning radiantly, it was not as hot as the weather people predicted. As a matter of fact, they put the greater Toronto area under extreme heat warning. At Glen Cedars golf course last Sunday, it was no bother to twenty-six players who enjoyed the weather having the climactic expectations vying to win the shortened Super Series 2 contest.

Bert Cerrudo won the day prize with net score of 64. He also won the Nassau front nine corner as well as the total net score. This was a sign he said seeing an inspiring light at the end of the tunnel. He also mentioned about Tiger Woods contributing to helping him with his short game. If you believe that, he has Golden Gate bridge to sell you.

Other Nassau corner winners: Bong Munson who had to birdie the 18th par 5 hole signed a whopping back nine net score of 31 to share with Julio Rodriguez who has got a habit of streaky wins when he got it going. Julio not to be outdone, fired a convincing eagle at the same hole.

 

 

 

 

 

This member with a lowest gross of the day, leads both Month 2 and POY contests. Thanks a lot to his consistent play, Jimmy Manguerra again showed he was nothing but a top dog with his gross score of spectacular two over 74. Did I say he fired the lowest gross scores seven times out of nine times he played? Any challenges guys?

Super Series 2 winners: Bert Cerrudo grabbed the first prize as SGC’s never give up, always frequently getting it close on par 3s, Mar DeVeyra seized second place with Jimmy Manguerra with both scoring net closing 69. Julio Rodriguez sat comfortably in fourth place.

Closest to the pin contest: Our high-strung treasurer Bingoy Peña no doubt got it close on hole 5. Whatever happened to our triple major title winner last year Joey Cruz as of late? This was the first time we heard of him by winning hole 16th. Giving us a break, wasn’t he?

 

 

 

 

 

Update in the SPOY contest: After nine rounds of completion, one of our nicest seniors, Seho Oh looks like a trending speeding off leader with an in your face attitude. Why? You would feel the same way if you lead by massive seventeen points over his closest rival. Too early to tell but let’s try to lull him to sleep for a while to catch up with him. Everybody knows how…..wink………wink.

Let us not forget that only four players who scored net scores in the 60s three of them were already mentioned above. The other was Mike Montilla who turned in a net score of second best 68.

ANNOUNCEMENT: BIGAT, the host for this GTA Interleague just announces that Station Creek management no longer intends to draw a 12-inch radius circle around every hole. Instead, players measure 12 inches (Station Creek provides a measuring stick for every group) from the hole and if the ball lies within the measurement, the ball is considered putted out. They claim that this idea was successfully imposed often at this venue with no hitch at all. You need to submit two score cards – one for GTA and the other to SGC with all scores & both score cards signed by all players in your respected group. SGC then verifies your individual score against the one submitted to GTA.

Those members playing in the GTA Interleague event, SGC suggests wearing dark colored long pants or shorts. Since this GTA event is a sanctioned SGC event, your score will count towards SGC’s scoring tabulation. This is the conclusion of Month 2 contest. Wish you good luck members.
