DICE SCRAMBLE RESULTS AND OTHER WINNERS

 AUG 20 DICE SCRAMBLE RESULTS

The August family holidays, the heat, and wildfire smoke seems to have kept more than a few players from joining us for the final scramble event of the season. Only 29 players signed up for the most challenging of all our scrambles — rolling a 😋 is paramount if your team wants to take advantage of that great drive on every hole.

It would appear that most teams rolled the 🙁 because only a few teams managed to break even par.

It would appear that somebody forgot to take photos again!

RESULTS

1ST - (68) Whitford, Trozzo, Delorie, Stevens (by tie breaker)

2ND - (68) Caron, Shubert, Brown, Larmour

3RD - (69) Muir, Vecchio, Bella (by tie breaker)

WEEK 2 OF RETIREES MASTERS and some other important stuff

 RETIREES MASTERS Fake News Headline

Scary news for this year's Retirees Masters Month, only two more rounds  to be played and John "Rory" Lattanzio tells me he is leading after last week's round. I have it on good authority that if John wins the Masters he will take the prize money and walk away from the game forever.

So get out there, play your best ever rounds and make sure John doesn't leave. ;)

REAL MASTERS NEWS

It is also the return of ‘Hawaiian Shirt Day’ so dig out that loud shirt that you bought at the airport when you vacationed in Hawaii so many years ago. Never been there? Wear the loudest shirt you own or maybe that John Daly golf outfit you foolishly once bought. Grass skirts optional.

Our final 'official' event of the year is set to go Sept 19 and John is busy crunching the numbers to determine the entry fee. Once his grandson's hockey camp is done, he will have time to dust off his Casio calculator and start crunching.

RED-WHITE-BLUE SCRAMBLE RESCHEDULED TO JULY 25

 HEAVY RAINS WASHOUT RWB SCRAMBLE

OK even golf can't be played when it rains this hard. We had to reschedule the RWB Scramble as the heavy rains soaked the course making it unplayable at our scheduled start time.

The Birchbank grounds crew heading to work this morning

All that extra practice in the sand trap yesterday was negated by the water filling the bunkers, puddles on the greens, and fairways too soggy for power carts.

Al Pasin leads after 2 rounds with at total score of 134 after shooting a net 64 this week. Keith Wallis in second at 139 and Bob Elliot at 140 is 3rd.

The final round is next week, last chance for that really low round!

PROVISIONAL BALL - HOW TO...

Have you ever hit one in the bush on #2 and then can't find it when you get there? Dropping a ball and playing it is NOT the correct way to proceed!

JUNE IS CANADIAN OPEN MONTH

 CANADIAN OPEN MONTH

RED-WHITE-BLUE SCRAMBLE

June 27 we are having our R-W-B Scramble and Luncheon. Eighteen holes of team scramble, with a twist, followed by lunch, prizes, 50/50 draw, and trophy presentations.

Teams play a full scramble, but their score on each hole determines which tees they use on the next hole. Over par on the hole means you move forward one set of tees on the next hole, make par you use the same tees, and under par on the hole means you move back one set of tee for the next hole.

ROLLING THE DICE

 

Winning Team: Wayne Weaver, John Lattanzio, Ray St.Jean

DICE SCRAMBLE — ROLLING IS IMPORTANT

Birchbank Retirees Club hosted their annual Dice Scramble tournament this week and is the final team event of the season. Regular scramble rules applied with one big exception — choice of which tee shot to use was determined with the roll of the dice. 

Many great tee shots were cancelled by rolling the wrong number or the dreaded frowny face and meaning the team would have to play from the location of the worst drive.

1st - Wayne Weaver, John Lattanzio, Ray St.Jean (66)

2nd - Merv Olson, Bob Menin, Marlin Frederick, Tom Gawryletz (67)

3rd - Bob Elliott, Brian Austin, Serge Pasquali, Don Szilagyi (via tiebreak)

KP #2 Don Szilagyi, #7 Phil Molloy, #14 David Kendrick, #17 Bob Elliott

LP #9 Marlin Frederick, #18 Larry Mailey

Next week: Final round of the Retirees FED EX CUP

HOLE IN ONE HIGHLIGHTS THE CHAPMAN 2 BALL

(Lucky that Wayne was able to enter... see previous post.)

A hole in one for Wayne DeWitt on hole 14 was the highlight of the day when the Birchbank Retirees Club held a CHAPMAN 2-BALL SCRAMBLE July 20. 

Thirty-seven players participated in the 2 Man Scramble under sunny skies and warm conditions followed by a pasta & meatballs meal made by the Bistro's Chef Kelly Shippit.

The team of John Newton & Ray St. Jean ran away with the win shooting a net score of 59.8, Larry Mailey & Tom Stevens were second with a net 65.0 score, and John Lattanzio & Stan Trozzo were close third with a net 65.2
