Talbot Trail seniors still swingin’ weekly

By Bob McLean

On Tuesday, May 24 there were 60 enthusiastic Talbot Trail senior golfers participating in their league. Play commenced at 9 a.m. on a bright, sunny, somewhat cool day.

The closest to the pin winner on #9 was Nasher, whose marvelous shot ended up a mere three feet from the pin.

Terry Bee captured the long putt victory as he drained a terrific 16-foot putt on #2!

There were nine golfers who shot 45 or less, but no one was able to break the 40 mark.

Jim Pearson fired a masterful 41 to nip the terrific 42s shot by Ken Kreuger and Russell Alliett.

Here are some other superb scores: 43s by Randy, Dutchy, Tim Stevenson and BW; Gary Hillier 44; and Rick Thompson 45.

Bryon Walker played extremely well to earn his best result, a very satisfying 52.

The 80 and over players played brilliantly. Here are their results: Tom Hyatt 46, Tom Sasso 47, and Ron McCracken 48.

Two of the Super Seniors tied with gratifying 51s.

Players receiving nifty 50 were these participants: Schmitty, Al Zanuttini, Mac Hyatt, Howard Mulrain and Ray La Pierre.

We will now start collecting the league fee of $20. Please include your name on an envelope containing the money.

Bummy will be arranging the league’s first travel excursion. There will only be 10 foursomes, so sign up quickly to guarantee you get in.

We look forward to past and new players joining us now that the weather is warming up.

Golfer: “This is the worst course I’ve ever played on.”

Caddy, looking at his compass: “This isn’t the golf course. We left that a half-hour ago.”
