Fifty-seven golfers out for Talbot Trail Senior League

By Bob McLean

We had 57 seniors testing their vast golfing skills on our well manicured course last week.

The long putt victory on #2 went to Fred Michano, who drained a marvellous 18-footer. There was a tie between Doug Langlois and Gary Hillier for the closest to the pin. Their outstanding shots were only 10 feet from #9 pin.

In our 80-85 grouping, both Joe Vrtel and Vic Reynaert played superbly, as they achieved excellent scores of 42 and 44 respectively. Birthday boy, Ed Woelk, and enthusiastic Andy Orsini produced impressive 47s. Walter Balsam, Conrad Babkirk, Ken Womack and Terry Bee also finished with satisfying results.

In the ‘silver’ super senior division, Tom Hyatt continued to dominate by shooting a terrific 47. Bob Freure, after a slow start, produced a solid nifty-fifty. Steady Bill Edwards achieved a very satisfying score.

In the ‘gold’ super seniors, Dave la Bonte regained top spot with a masterful 44. Both Carl Robinson and Gerry Becigneul achieved inspiring scores of 47 and 48 respectively. Scotty Westrop earned the nifty fifty crown. Our favourite retired barber, Murray Cascadden, produced a praiseworthy 51.

In the 70-79 division, Dutchy and Bill Ward fired terrific 39s. Bobo finished with a praiseworthy 41. Masterful 42s went to Chopper, Ray la Pierre and Ron McCracken. Firing solid 43s were Al Matthews and Al Zanuttini. Dave Dent produced a noteworthy 44. Doug Langlois and Paul Harrison achieved gratifying 45s.

Fred Michano and Arkey had impressive 40s to top the under-70 division. Phil Humphries and Gary Hillier scored excellent 41 and 43 results respectively. Wiz, Dave Dibbley, Larry Hyatt and Ed Fraser had satisfying results.

Correction: John (not Tom) Hall’s magnificent shot to within a foot of the pin on #9 won the long putt a couple of weeks ago.
