Eight teams hit the links at Granite Ridge Golf Club located in the foothills of the beautiful Niagara Escarpment. And what a day it was!

Thank you to Paul for all setting up the tournament and organizing the events on the course. And thank you for bringing on the good weather… It could have been a wet one!

Thank you to Bob and Taryn for hosting all the great prizes! Including hats, golf shirts and rounds of golf!

Thank you to all the girls who provided such great service throughout the dinner and award ceremonies.

Thank you to Jim for the amazing dinner hosted at the pub after the tournament! The caesar salad was a hit, as were the indulgent sweet crab salad and bacon-wrapped scallop starters. The steaks were grilled to absolute perfection as per each person’s tastes, the corn on the cob was as sweet as it was aromatic and theses were paired with perfectly seasoned roasted mini potatoes.

Thank you Penny for the delicious after dinner treat of Pistachio Cake!

The Teams:

Jeff, John, Glenn and Bill – 1st Place
Bob, Michelle, Isaac and Jason – 2nd Place
Paul, Jay, Art and Les – 3rd Place
Ed, Keith, John and Andy – 4th Place Tie
Drummond, Wayne Brendan and Dick – 4th Place Tie
Jeff, Ian, Kevin and Shawn – 5th Place
Penny, Heather, Nancy and Maureen – 6th Place
Ralph, Ann, Doug and Sonia – and last, but not least, 7th Place

Congratulations to:
Penny – Ladies Closest to the Pin
The Mayor – Mens Closest to the Pin
Jeff – Closest to the Line

Recognition for being a notable team player… Bill! who spent the evening in our very own “green” jacket. (and we want it back, Bill. Just kidding!)

Nuff said.

It’s only 2:30 in the afternoon and already we’ve got Evelyn twerking in the corner. Er, I mean tweaking… that’s not any better. Sigh. She’s working on our website. And Dirty Boys pants have caught fire. He brought it on himself. Note: those long fuzzy white strings that hang down from denim rips are best cut off – not burnt off. We’ve had a few ruckus conversations over the quality of produce at the corner store, some basic spelling and whatever happens to be airing on the News Channel. Good times, good times.

Evil plot brewing to send a couple of our regulars over to the beauty salon for some “surprise pedicures”.
