Peak Season

Summer is officially here and the weather continues to delight! Many would argue that we're due, given the golf season we had last year. Regardless, there's lots going on at the club, including great specials and excellent events.

The Ladies' Invitational was a great success again this year. Congratulations to all of the winners. Please find results below.

The Men's Invitational is coming up this month, as is a new event for which we've received a lot of requests. The Men's Golf Stag is scheduled for July 24th. If this event is supported - minimum of 48 paid registrants by July 19th - we are hoping to make this a monthly event.

This is year two of the newly formatted Optimist Jr. Golf Tournament. Our Juniors always enjoy and perform well at this tournament. See below for full details.

Enjoy your month as we head into summer!

The golf season is almost at the half way point. It always goes so quickly.

At this time I would like to thank the members for their patience with the conditions of the golf course in the spring. They have greatly improved and are back to the superior conditions what we are used to at the club. Although Mother Nature was not helpful to us in the spring, Fred and his staff as well as the greens committee did a fantastic job of nurturing the turf back to health.

As of July 1st the HST will take effect. There should not be too much change for the members in terms of pricing for the remainder of the year until we renew our memberships.

So far the weather has been on our side for watering and the well system is getting closer to being available for us to use.

Good luck golfing.

If you have questions or concerns, feel free contact me via email rsteinbach@sjmitchell.ca, phone 519-275-7742 or maybe even over a golf game.

 

Thanks

Rob Steinbach CGA, President

A little bit of rain and a little bit of heat made for a lot of golf in June. The weather was great for Tuesday night ladies golf and from the look of the attendance sheets; we are getting great participation in the league. This year we introduced a flat fee of $35 which entitles the members to participate in all the game nights, fun nights, invitation events and an opening and closing event. It also entitles the players to sign up for league competitions and be eligible for prizes from the beginning of the season to the end. The membership is 60 women strong!

 

The list for the Captain’s Cup match play is finalized and the matches will be posted next week. We also introduced a two-woman fun match play whereby each team plays another team and competes to move to the next level of competition. Details will be announced on July 6th and matches will be posted in the ladies locker room. I am pleased to see such great uptake on the new format with almost 50% of our league members participating. It suggests that we were ready to mix things up a little.

 

Speaking of mixing things up, we invited the ladies from Ironwood and Seaforth in on the 29th for a fun scramble. We treated our guests to great weather, a fabulous hot turkey dinner and lots of laughs. Oh, and there were a number of prizes, too. These included: closest to the pin awards going to Barb Box, Susan Cronin and Bonnie Janmaat; closest to the line for Susan Cronin; lowest score to Joan Heywood, Evie Huston, Julie Nicholson and Lynn Whittemore; most honest team prize went to Melita Cronin, Dianne Moses, Nancy Schmidt and Karen Rose; mystery score prize was drawn and the recipients were Bonnie Janmaat, Peggy Willigar, Sandra Mohr, and Gail Coveny.

 

The largest 50/50 draw this season was sent home with Cheryl Watson from Seaforth. We’ll have a chance to bring some of that cash back as we have 14 of our members participating in a fun night at Seaforth on July 8th! The beautiful gift basket of Bath and Body Works, donated by Lori Houze, was won by June Walkom. Overall, it was a great night and we look forward to inviting the ladies from the Stratford courses on July 27th. Please stay tuned for the details.
