KAUFMAN WINS CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP
SEPTEMBER 21-22, 2019

With perfect warm sunny weather all weekend long, the club members played some excellent golf with friends on Saturday and Sunday, and turned in some great scores.

Shawn Kaufman, 45 of Walkerton shot a three-over-par round of 73 on Saturday, then followed by a seven-over-par 77 on Sunday with a total tournament score of 150 to claim his 5th Club Championship title at Whispering Hills Golf Club (4th in a row!).  

Kaufman has won the club championship in 2014, 2016-19.  For the win, Kaufman receives his 2020 golf membership next season for just half price ($340.00 Off), a custom-etched hand-crafted crystal champions trophy ($100 value), and his name hand-painted on the wall of distinguished past club champion’s dating back 47 years to 1972 in the clubhouse lounge for his great accomplishment this weekend. 

New club member this season, and 2019 Club Champion Runner-Up is Jamie Duffield, of Hanover with scores of 79 + 77 = 156.  Duffield wins a voucher for $150.00 off of his 2020 golf membership, a custom-etched hand-crafted crystal runner-up trophy ($100 value), and his name hand painted on the champion’s distinguished wall of fame in the clubhouse lounge.

The Club Champion and Runner-Up will receive their crystal trophies and membership voucher money next Saturday after the dinner at our 35th Annual Bob Crowe Memorial Fall Field Day member-guest tournament on September 28th.

There was a tie for 3rd place with last year’s runner-up Steven Harper tying Shayne Baltzer, of Hanover, both shooting the exact same round totals of 83 + 87 for a two round total of 170.  Harper & Baltzer both win $25.00 off of their 2020 membership dues.

Hole in One Pot info:
The Hole in One pot is now over $5000!  Hard to believe we are closing in on three full years and over 5,000 Men’s League rounds without an ace.  In saying that, we will cap the winner of the first ace at $5000.  All money that is going into the pot that exceeds the $5000 will be building for the 2nd Men’s League ace.  And if you’re wondering if the HIO Pot is up for grabs at our Men’s Closing event on October 5th… Absolutely!

NEED TO KNOW:
D’Arcy Honer had the lone skin in the 5 to 7 flight and won $117. D’Arcy also added a $68 pin on #16… Cha Ching!

-Bill Graham won FOUR skins in the 11 to 18 flight totalling…. $10.28

SIDE BET:   Sam McEvenue (David) took down Chad Currie (Goliath) in a 9-Hole match on Wednesday for an ice cold Triple Bogey pint.

Hole #10 played tough on Wednesday.  Of the 98 players that were registered for skins, there were only EIGHT pars.  That’s 8% of the field!
