Talbot Trail seniors enjoy warmer weather

By Bob McLean

Sixty-one Talbot Trail senior golfers enjoyed a beautiful, warm sunny day for their May 31 league game.

Howard Mulrain drained a spectacular 30- foot putt on #2 to win the long putt.

Ninety-year-old Gerry Becigneul dazzled the playing field with his scintillating shot to within three feet of the #9 pin. Congratulations on winning the CP, Gerry!

The warmer weather helped some players to merit lower scores. Others are still hoping to improve in the near future!

The top two golfers were Arkey and Kreug, who fired outstanding 39s. Both Joe Drummond and Dutchy were close behind with their impressive 40s. Excellent scores of 41 and 42 were carded by Pearcie and Fred Michano respectively. Other superb scores of 45 or less were produced by the following seniors: Randy Nash and Al Matthews 43s; Gerry van Deven, Chopper, Joe Vrtel and Gary Hillier 44s; and Bummy 45. Paul Carioli and Walter Balsam merited nifty 50 results.

In the super senior division, Gerry Becigneul and Dave la Bonte fired masterful 42 and 46 from the gold tees respectively. Very commendable results were also scored by Murray Cascadden and Erle Nash.

Super seniors Tom Hyatt and Bob Freure, who play off the silver tees continued their brilliant play by shooting 49 and 51 respectively.

League scrambles will take place on the third Tuesdays of June, July, August and September.
