Thompson leads Talbot Trail links By Bob McLean On a beautiful June 15, the Talbot Trail senior men’s league had 70 of its potential 78 golfers participating. The course is in excellent condition despite the unusually dry conditions. Rick Thompson had the hot sticks as his outstanding 36 topped the field. Rick also claimed Bobo the victory for the closest to the pin on #9. Ray La Pierre converted a dazzling 23foot putt on #2 to earn the long putt win. In the under 70 division, Joe Drummond continued his excellent play by firing a terrific 39. In second place were Arky and OV, who scored sparkling 42s. Newcomer Russell Alliett and Gerry Van Deven played superbly as they shot 43s. Fred Michano earned a solid 45. In the super senior gold division (86y+), Dave La Bonte played masterfully as he scored an impressive 41. Other commendable results were produced by Gerry Becigneul, Erle Nash and Murray Cascadden. Bob Freure and Tom Hyatt scored impressive 49s to lead the super senior silver division. Walter Balsam and Bill Edwards achieved very praiseworthy results. The 80-85 y division was well represented today. Joe Vrtel fired a sensational 40 to nip smooth swinging Vic Reynaert
by two. There were an astounding number of nifty 50 results produced by Ken Womack, Ed Woelk, Tom Sasso and Conrad Babkirk. Andy Orsini, Eugene Abbruzzese, Neil Adamson and Gary Wilson closely followed up with commendable results. In the 7079y grouping, Dutchy played brilliantly, scoring a 40, but he placed second to Rick’s masterful 36. Both Jim Pearson and Al Zanuttini shot spectacular 41s. Bummy played inspiring golf, earning a solid 43. Four golfers who shot noteworthy 44s were Ron McCracken, Ray la Pierre, Bobo and Ian Quirk. Other commendable results in this largest group of players were: Gus Brown 45; BW and Schmidty 46s; Dave Dent and Al Matthews 47s; Paul Carioli 48; Scoop E. 49. The patio is now open and the enthusiastic staff are ready to welcome the players with a friendly smile and great service. Seniors are reminded that they are to share carts in the groups. Masks are mandatory at this time. Golf is an awkward set of bodily contortions designed to produce a graceful result. – Tommy Armour. The trouble with golf is you’re only as good as your last putt. – Doug Sanders. Keep swinging and have fun!
