Fairmont Mountainside Men’s Club
Before a quick summary of our recent competition highlights, I would like to extend on behalf of our membership a sincere thank you to the Riverside golf organization. Following the unfortunate mudslide, which in part shut down the Mountainside Golf Course, our club’s golf activities were quickly accommodated by Riverside. A great deal of gratitude must be offered to the administration and staff at all levels for their generous response.
Congratulations to new member Jim Gibb who won our Archie Guthrie Senior Championship held on August 8 and 9.
Earlier in July during our interclub competition, the team of Jim Bussard, Steve Scheult, Paul Neilson and yours truly won the four men, two best net feature. Ed English and Ken Monroe rolled in deuces while Jim captured two KPs with Ed and Gary Thompson winning one apiece.
On July 11, playing from the blue tees, the team of Cal MacPherson, Tom Gerald, Jim Villeneuve and Barry Sangster won the day in another low net competition. Barry also got the lone deuce. On a very hot and sunny July 18, the foursome of Cal (now a familiar sharpshooter), Jim Gibb, Fred Maye and rising star Paul Neilson won the team competition.
There was no halting Bill Bergman during our July 25th monthly cup tournament. Bill came in with a lovely 64 net score. Congrats to John Aitken, Dale MacDonald and Sam Shachnowich who were runners-up.
