EAGLE AT TALBOT TRAIL

By Bob McLean WHEATLEY – On Tuesday, August 17 the Talbot Trail senior golf league held its first scramble in memory of Bill “Scotty” Westrop. His youthful energy, sense of humour, friendship and positive attitude were an inspiration to all who knew him. There were 64 league members participating in the scramble. It was a beautiful day for golf. Derek and all his outside workers are to be thanked for their superb work on the course. Turn the faucets off Mother Nature!

Barnie - 2 month old - Female Hi! I’m Barnie. I am so excited to meet you! If my face looks like it’s healing up, that’s because it is. I was home to a bug that the great people here took out for me. It hasn’t affected me at all, It just makes me look super special right now. It has not changed my attitude, and I am super playful, if a little shy right now. I’m young so I’ll warm up to you very quickly. I cannot wait to see you, and to make your place my new furever home! Be sure to submit an application at windsorhumane.org!

In the draw there were five $10 winners and one $15. The lucky 25%-25% winners each took home $75 gift cards. Special note: Gerry Becigneul, who is 89 years young, drove the green on #5 from the Gold tees. He then sank a 25-footer to record his second career eagle. Gerry’s smile was priceless!

Everyone seemed to enjoy this scramble, so another will likely occur in late September or early October. In the seniors league there are nine players at or above the age of 86. The oldest member is the always enthusiastic gentleman, Murray “The Barber-Fire Chief” Cascadden, who is 91. He is followed by Dave LaBonte, who is 90. Dave, a self affirmed golf nut, still swings the sticks really well! Special thanks to Conrad Babkirk for filling in for master ticket seller Paul Harrison, who was delayed on the course. I very much appreciated the assistance of Dave Dent and Bummy, who helped keep things running smoothly. Thank you to the league members who gave generously to the tip and draw money. Thanks for inspiring us, Scotty!
