Sizzling 38 by Drummond on Talbot Trail links

By Bob McLean

On Tuesday, June 7, there were only 42 members of the senior men’s league who challenged the Talbot Trail course. Some regular participants must have felt that the overnight rainfall would have prevented play. However, everything was a go, and the carts were out without any restrictions.

Bummy drained a superb 12-foot putt on #2 to win the long putt.

There have been many sensational shots on #9 this year. Gerry van Deven hit an awesome shot to within 30 inches of the cup to clinch the CP victory.

Joe Drummond fired a masterful 38 to lead the field. He was closely followed by outstanding 39s shot by Pearcie and Chuck McKenzie. Rick Thompson merited a superb 41. Three players who achieved terrific 42s were Nasher, Gerry van Deven and Fred Michano. Others who produced scores of 45 or less were: Ray la Pierre, Tim Stevenson and Fuzzy 43s; BW and Bobo 45s.

Super senior youngster, Gerry Becigneul, merited an inspiring 47 off the gold tees. Erle “The Pearl” Nash followed with a very commendable result.

Here are some other dazzling results from the 85 and over super seniors who played the silver tees. Bob Freure tallied a brilliant 47. Other very praiseworthy results were Walt Balsam 48, Neil Adamson 49, and Andy Orsini 55.

In the 80-84 grouping there were the following noteworthy scores: Tom Sasso 47, Gary Wilson 48, and Ron McCracken 49.

A good golf partner is one who is slightly worse than you.

It’s difficult to decide which is more stressful: hitting three off the tee or lining up your fourth putt.

Have you noticed? When you get up there in years, the fairways get longer and the holes get smaller. Our senior league is meant to “just have fun!” See you next week!
