MENS NINE HOLE GOLF LEAGUE

Contributed By: Mike Wilt

Winter weather has not been a problem for the men’s nine-hole golf group as they were able to play on all seven of the designated Wednesdays during this time period. Participation in the group remains below the number of players we would like to see and there are no skill level requirements. All are welcome to join. Ken Anton is currently the President and Charles Middleton the Treasurer so you can contact either of them via email on Foretees if you are interested in joining or inquire at either of the pro shops for more information. Games during this two-month time frame were Team Stableford, Individual Stableford, Bear Creek, and One Low Net. After being delayed twice due to COVID concerns the nine-hole club championship finally took place on December 1st at Ocean Point and December 8th at Ocean Creek with 13 golfers participating. Winner of the two-day event was Perminder Bindra, followed by Bob Smith in second place and Ed Smith in third. Unfortunately, the nine-hole banquet that has also been postponed several times is still not able to be held safely. Hopefully that will occur within the next few months.

Closest to the pin winners were Joe Sullivan and Bob Smith twice and Richard Ward and George Lewandowski

once each. Oh, and much to the chagrin of the players on one of the outings the course won as nobody was able to reach the green on the designated hole.

Winners included Rick Stein and Perminder Bindra twice and George Lewandowski, Ken Anton, Richard Ward, Mike Virostek, Ed Smith and Bob Smith once each.

During February the group will play at Ocean Point and in March at Ocean Creek. The current roster of the men’s nine-hole group stands at 30. Annual dues remain a bargain at only $15 per year The Foretees website is being used for the men’s nine-hole group and you need to register before noon on any Tuesday before the Wednesday event.
