Talbot Trail Senior golfers enjoy June scramble

By Bob McLean

Sixty Talbot Trail senior men’s golf league members played in their first scramble on June 21. The very hot weather conditions were tamed by a very welcomed breeze.

The first-place team, shooting a masterful 32, was T1G1. Team members were Dave Dent, Larry Schmidt, Eugene Kerrigan and Jamie Arquette.

Four teams tied for second place at excellent 34s. A card draw determined how they finished.

Second place went to T3G2 participants Fuzzy, Conrad Babkirk, Eugene A. and Joe Vrtel.

Third place victors were OV, Dutchy, Dave Chambers and Kong of T8G2.

Fourth place winners were Joe Drummond, Mac Hyatt, Garry Morin and Doug Langlois of T3G1.

The most honest team was T5G2 who shot a fine 38 score.

Winning teams won golf balls.

Hitting into a stiff wind on #7, Doug still fired a terrific shot to within 20 feet. Dutchy hit a brilliant shot to within five feet of the # 9 pin to take closest to the pin. Nasher drained the winning long putt of 12 feet on #2. Doug, Dutchy and Nasher each received a sleeve of balls for their personal effort. All teammates also received $10 gift cards.

The 50-25-25 raffle draw was very successful thanks to sellers BW and Dave Dibbley. Two players won $60 TT gift cards, and other draw winners won $25, $20, $15 or $10 cards.

The league extend special thanks to Sammy Williams, Taylor, new bride Hilary and her staff for all their work with the food and beverages. We thank the table crew (Bummy, Dave, Wiz, Bobo) for organizing the scramble. Thanks go to George for having our carts ready to roar! Derek, Robert and all the outside workers had the course in topnotch condition.

There are never any losers when we “Just Have Fun!” See you next week.
