Erie Shores Thursday League sees 103 golfers out

By Paul Bunnett-Jones

It was another great turn out with 103 players teeing it up this week in the Leamington Canadian Tire Men’s Thursday Night League at Erie Shores Golf Club. In team play, the Foot Wedge Crew extended their lead over the Bogey Men by 5 points with their 126 point total. Sitting in third place with 119 points is team Cinderella Story, while Complete & Putter Madness is right behind with 118.

Mulligan Island is in fifth spot with 114 points with the Fringe Players three behind at 111.

Rounding out the top eight teams are Par Then Bar with 106 and Slice & Dice who have 103 points.

In the individual gross scores play, Geoff Dunmore shot the lowest round of the day with an even par 36 on the back nine, while Steven Georges, Kyle Kudroch, Matt Taouil, Ryan Peltier and Wayne Gillett all tied for second best with one over par scores of 37.

Anthony Andary, WrayPollock and Wheaton Mouck finished another stroke with their two over par games of 38.

In the low net category, Derek Horop led the field by shooting an amazing 12 under par net 24 to finish only one shot ahead of Eugene Bouliane who also had an incredible round scoring a sizzling 11 under par game of net 25. Paul Bunnett-Jones was next with a seven under par net 29 while Dave Dick finished fourth with a net six under 30.

It was a quiet night for skins with only six winners.

Derek Horop had the only net skin with a three under par net 1 on the long par four 17th hole, while gross skins were won by Kyle Quick, Steve Georges, Kevin Sawatzky, Brian Humphreys and Ward Hutchins.

And, on a side note, speaking of Ward Hutchins, congratulations go out to him for getting a hole-in-one on the 13th hole two days ago at Erie Shores while playing with John Penner, Gord Anderson and Ron Koop. What makes it especially unusual is this was the first time in two years that Ward has played with Ron Koop. Unusual because the last time they played together Ron Koop got a hole-in-one. Maybe they ought to play together more often.

In the overall skins competition, Neil Sawatzky still leads the way with $75. However, Derek Horop and Ward Hutchins have closed the gap a bit as both are tied for second with $56 apiece. Hayden Hodgson is next at $52 while Phil Cornies is alone in fourth place with $48. Tied for fifth spot with $45 apiece is Lucas George, Greg Dunmore, Wayne Gillett and Kevin Babkirk.
