Senior golfers challenged by Talbot Trail links

By Bob McLean

On May 3 the Talbot Trail senior men’s golfers were unable to play because of the excessive rain.

On Tuesday, May 10, there were 64 seniors who participated in the league. Many, including myself, found that there is a lot of rust in our games. With warmer weather and more practice, we should do better. Derek and his crew have the course in excellent condition!

The song that came to my mind during play was, “My Momma told me there would be days like this!” Wow! Was she ever right!

Two golfers who played exceptionally well were Ken Krueger and Joe Drummond, who shot dazzling scores of 36 and 39 respectively.

Another highlight of the day was BW’s five-inch tap in on #9 for his birdie. It was a scintillating shot that came really close to a hole in one. Garry Morin converted a spectacular 25-footer on #2 to win the long putt.

Other golfers who shot 45 or less were: 43s by Tim Stevenson, Fuzzy, Bill Ward and Randy Nash; 44s were merited by Ron McCracken and Chopper. Collecting the nifty 50 results were David Tonks and Bummy.

Please get to the course between 8:10 and 8:40 to register. We are still deciding on the league cost, but you will likely learn the cost in a couple of weeks. New players to the league, please follow this rule: No sitting by yourself! Join a table of players and introduce yourself. We’re glad to have you playing in this enjoyable senior league!

New and past league players are welcome to join us. See you next Tuesday!
