Golfers experienced another great day in paradise last weekend on the links. The sun was shining and most players at the Alberni Golf Club playing in the men’s league were in shorts. Another excellent turnout saw 62 men competing in the MacDermotts Insurance Waltz.
The team of Mike Pechor, Russ Israelson, Mike Savard and Chris Owen emerged the winners, coming in with a score of 119.
In second place with a score of 122 winning on a count back was the foursome of Vic Carlton, Kevin Carlton, Mark Anderson and Brian Tall. Next was the group of Bill Bjornson, Cal Davies, Tylo Smith and Cliff O’Laney.
In fourth place was the team of Lloyd Fairley, Steve White, Fred Fredrickson and Gerry Fagan. How do you go from being the most honest golfer to a sandbagger in one week?
Fifth place was won by Craig Acland, Clark Crowe, Keith Gauthier and Darren Van Dyk. Then came John Panagrot, Tom Price, Dennis Frykas and Jaques Giovetti. In seventh place was the team of Wolf Suhr, Ned Stewart, Ted Stewart and Mel Trelvik.
The final prize went to the foursome of Cory Neilson, Darrell Van Os, Bill Morin and Jim Proteau.
Closest to the pin winners were, Mike Pechor on No. 2, Mike Savard on No. 4, Gerry Fagan on No. 13, and Gord Unger on No. 17. Charity closest to the Pin on No.7 was won by Russ Israelson.
Next week is an open week with the usual low gross and low net up for grab along with the closest to the pin and money pots. Book your tee time in your own group starting at 7 a.m.
One final note: the Junior Open House takes place this Saturday, May 7 from 1–3 p.m.
