By Bob McLean On Tuesday, Sept. 7 there were 64 players in the Talbot Trail seniors league game. It was a beautiful day for golf and 90-year-old Dave La Bonte, a self-professed golf nut, shot a dazzling 39 off the Gold tees. Carl Robinson placed second to Dave with his very impressive 46. Gerry Becigneul ended up with an excellent 48. Master putter Erle fired a terrific nifty 50. In the Super Senior Silver Division, Tom Hyatt played superbly to score a brilliant 47. Bob Freure and Walter Balsam placed second and third with their extremely praiseworthy 52 and 53 results. Bill Edwards also had a very satisfying 56. Paul Harrison won another long putt, and Phil Humphries won closest to the pin with his miraculous shot on #9. The individuals who earned birdies were: #2 Dutchy; #5 Tim Stevenson; #6 Pearcie and Arkey; #8 Shannon and Richard Humber; #9 Dave Dent, Paul Carioli, Schmidty and Chopper. In the 80-85 year grouping, Joe Vrtel produced a very impressive 43 score, and Ron McCracken shot an excellent 46. Gus Brown played very solidly to score a superb 47. Both Neil Adamson and Tom Sasso merited very commendable 48s. Guest Henry Hildebrandt shot a noteworthy nifty 50. Other satisfying results were: Eugene 51, Conrad and Andy 52s; and a few shots back were Ken and Terry! The 70-79 year division was led by Dutchy (what a surprise!) who earned a masterful 37. Pearcie shot a marvellous 39, and Bobo an excellent 41. Terrific 42 scores were produced by Chopper, Schmidty, Dave Dent and Al Matthews. Paul Harrison, Mac Hyatt and BW earned superb 44s. Other praiseworthy results: Bummy 46; Al Zanuttini 47; Wayne Humber 48; Nick Peters and Paul Carioli 49s; nifty 50 for Dave Dibbley, Richard Humber and Garry Morin. The under 70 youngsters were led by Arkey who shot a masterful 38 to nip the outstanding 39 shot by Tim Stevenson. Phil Humphries and Nasher scored terrific 41s. Long hitter Russell fired a brilliant 42. Fred Michano and Fuzzy received solid scores of 45 and 46 respectively. Ed Fraser and Gary Hillier produced satisfying nifty 50 results. Remember: Never wash your ball on a water hole! Your straightest iron shot will be one club short. Excuse for poor play - limp with the same leg all year round. Just have fun!
