The course beats the players in TT senior golf By Bob McLean The Talbot Trail Golf Course proved to be a major challenge for the 64 seniors who participated on Tuesday, July 27. The outside workers have been kept really busy cutting the grass as a result of all the recent heavy rainfalls. However, it is really great to see the ball washers, sand trap rakes, etc., back in use. The lowest score, an excellent 39, was fired by Arkey in the under 70 grouping.
Five players tied for second place with terrific 41s: Fuzzy, Shannon, Fred, Joe D. and Russell. Very commendable results were earned by Randy, Gerry and Len. In the 70-79y division, Dutchy maintained top spot by shooting a very impressive 41. He did this despite shanking his shot on #9. According to Chopper, he luckily still managed a bogey. Superb results of 42, 43 and 44 were scored by Bobo, Chopper and Al Matthews respec-
tively. Ian Quirk, Bummy, and BW shot solid 45s. Tim Stevenson and Dave Dent produced very commendable 46s. A noteworthy 47 was attained by Mac Hyatt. Other praise-
worthy results below 50 were attained by Doug, Paul Carioli, Gary Hillier, Larry Hyatt and Richard Humber. A sweet nifty 50 was merited by Ray. The 80-85y grouping was led by Joe Vrtel who shot an impressive 44. Vic Reynaert placed second with his own satisfying score. Praiseworthy results were earned by Neil, Ken, Conrad, Gary and Andy. There was a very close contest in the Silver Super Senior Division. Howev-
er, Tom Hyatt and Walter Balsam came in first with their inspiring rounds. Ed Woelk and Bill Edwards played very well, ending up only a few shots back. Carl Robinson’s brilliant 49 led the Gold Super Seniors. Praise worthy results were also produced by Erle and Murray. Congratulations to Bob Lee who achieved a personal best, a 47, for the year. Also, a special Happy Birthday to Ed Woelk who turned 87. You’re still a swinger, Ed!
Jamieson Tour plays Sutton Creek, Maple City By Bryce Evon The Jamieson Junior Golf Tour stopped at Sutton Creek Golf Club on Thursday, July 22 for the fifth event of the season. In the Junior Girls Division, Vanessa Ardovini (Roseland) and Kyla Charlebois (Pointe West) both fired rounds of 78 and tied for first place. Ardovini used nines of 38-40, while Charlebois carded a pair of 39s. Norah Donais (Ambassador) and Emily Young (Kingsville) were close behind with rounds of 81. In the Junior Boys Division, Austin Brancaccio (Essex) edged out the competition by a single shot, firing an evenpar 72. Brancaccio was
a model of consistency, with just two bogeys and two birdies to go along with 14 pars. Rylan Marontate (Kingsville) and Jax Sisson (Pointe West) finished in a tie for second with 73s. The Collegiate Men’s division was also a tight race, with Alex Saroli (Wayne State/Essex) earning a one-shot victory over Robert McVinnie (Western/Beach Grove) and Alek Mauro (Detroit Mercy/Essex). Saroli’s card included five birdies on route to an even par 72. The tour was at Maple City Country Club on Monday, July 26 for the sixth event of the season. The course was in phe-
nomenal shape and winds were calm, but scorching temperatures made for a challenging day. It was a close race in the Junior Girls Division, with Kyla Charlebois (Pointe West) and Emily Young (Kingsville) duking it out for the victory. Young bested Charlebois by a shot on the front nine, but Charlebois had a strong back nine, and her 78 total eclipsed Young by a single stroke. The win was Charlebois’ fourth of the season. In the Junior Boys Division, Pointe West’s Jax Sisson fired an even par 72 to earn the win. Sitting at four over par on the day through 13 holes, Sisson finished birdie, par,

Birdies were by: Gerry and Shannon #2, Jim Pearson #7, and Tom Sasso and Ian Quirk #9. Ian Quirk’s marvellous shot on #9 won CP. Fuzzy rolled in a miraculous putt on #2 to claim the LP. Two senior golfers were enjoying the 19th hole. Biff said to Charlie, “My game is so bad I had to have my ball retriever regripped.” The four worst words in golf are: “It’s still your turn!”
