Talbot Trail Seniors tee-off in Wheatley

By Bob McLean

On Tuesday, May 25, the Talbot Trail senior golfers had a beautiful day for golf, and 61 enthusiastic seniors participated in their weekly league game. New manager Trevor Thomas and his friendly staff welcomed players before play started. Safety precautions signs posted for COVID must be followed!

The closest to the pin victor was won by Len Snively’s superb shot on #9. Dutchy earned the long putt laurels with his dazzling long putt on #2.

We’re all likely a bit rusty from not playing, but we’ll strive to do better next week. There were 12 scores lower than 45, but no one was able to break 40.

The lowest score was fired by two players, Joe Drummond and Jamie Arquette, who fired excellent 40s. Four players who achieved terrific 41s: Bob Freure, Dutchy, Jim Pearson and Bill Ward. Randy Nash achieved a superb 42 result. Bummy and Tom Hyatt shot solid 43s. Scoring 44s were Fred Michano, Bobo and Ron McCracken.

Because of COVID, we are continuing play similar to last year.

Foursomes and tee times are made up and locked in for the season. Some minor changes will occur during the year when additional participants join the league. Anyone who still wants to join the Tuesday Senior League can contact us by sending an e-mail to jmclean@mnsi.net or calling the golf course 519-825- 4521.

Remember to hand in all score cards to the Pro Shop where there will be a container marked with TT Senior Golfers.

Also record beside the player’s name if they have the CP or LP at that time on #2 or #9. The final groups of the day are asked to bring in the markers from #2 and #9 green.

Recording by age groups will occur later in June.

We’re looking forward to a great golfing season!

“JUST HAVE FUN,” as my dad often said.
