Mens Nine Hole Golf League

Mens Nine Hole Golf League

Contributed By: Mike Wilt

The weather cooperated during July and August, but participation has dropped considerably with the men’s nine-hole golf league. A combination of hot weather, injuries, members gone for extended periods of time and the covid pandemic have all contributed to reduced numbers. Hopefully as we head into cooler weather participation will increase.

The group experienced good although hot weather for the most part during this time period, and managed to play eight out of eight Wednesdays, not losing any outings due to weather. Games during this two-month time frame were Team Stableford, Bear Creek and Reverse Bear Creek, Points for Par, Two Low Net and Match Play.

Closest to the pin winners were Frank Golden twice and Jim Wolbrink, Dave Moore, Steve Schnobrich and Marty Ketels, once each. On two of the outings the course won as nobody was able to reach the green on the designated hole.

Winners included Frank Golden five times, Ed Smith four times, Joe Sullivan and Jim Wolbrink three times, Perminder Bindra and Mike Virostek twice, and Rick Stein, Steve Schnobrich, Frank Davis and Marty Ketels once each.

During September the group will play at Ocean Creek and in October Ocean Point. Plans are for the nine-hole club championship to be played the last Wednesday of September at Ocean Creek and the first Wednesday of October at Ocean Point. 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.
