Krueger on fire at Talbot Trail

By Bob McLean

Sixty-five enthusiastic Talbot Trail senior men’s league golfers participated on May 17 on a somewhat cool, breezy, but delightfully sunny day that challenged the players’ skills. We’ll continue tuning our games for future league play.

Only eight of the 65 players were able to shoot 45 or less. Kreug dominated the field with his spectacular 36. Joe Drummond continued his masterful play by shooting a 40. Dutchy, although hobbled by his aching hips, still produced a terrific 41. Other participants who shot 45 or less: Rick Thompson 42; Fuzzy, Nasher, Chopper 44s; Fred Michano 45.

Reporting the scoring results by age divisions will occur in June. However, here are some commendable results by players over 80 years: Joe Vrtel and Tom Hyatt 46s; Carl Robinson, Neil Adamson, Andy Orsini and Bob Freure nifty 50s; Dave la Bonte 51; Bill Edwards and Tom Sasso 52s; Gerry Becigneul 53; Walter Balsam 54; and Erle the Pearl Nash 60.

Two other players who achieved nifty 50 were Eugene Kerrigan and Dave Chambers.

The closest to the pin winner on #9 was Tom Sasso whose dazzling hit on #9 ended up four feet from the pin. David Tonks captured the long putt victory on #2 by draining a 17-foot putt.

A rumour was passed around in the clubhouse that OV couldn’t complete his round because he was still mourning the demise of the Leafs from the playoffs. Next year, Dave!

Past and new players are welcome to join the Talbot Trail senior men’s league.
