Sept 2018 - Retirees Club Championship
It was a cool start to the day for the 2018 Retirees Club Championship with a bone chilling breeze greeting the players — but the rain stayed away until the last hole was completed! The course was in terrific condition thanks to the work of our hard working grounds crew. Thanks also go to the Pro Shop and Bistro staffs for their work in making the event a success.
Reg Cherenko captured the Retirees Club Overall Low Gross Championship shooting 77 to edge Dave Muir & Paul Troseth by two strokes. Don Szilagyi captured the Overall Low Net title shooting a net 68 (using tie breaker) edging Tom Milne who also shot a net 68.
