Rule to Ponder
Question - In stroke play, a player's ball lies on a road that is covered with gravel. He removes some gravel and then properly takes relief under the immovable obstruction Rule and plays onto the putting green. What is the ruling? Answer will be provided next week.

ARE YOU FIXING YOUR BALL MARKS PROPERLY?? Worth repeating from last week.
Watch this short and to the point video.
Don Bilyk, our Course Superintendent, reviewed the video and said was it was excellent.

DWAYNE KEICHINGER, MEN'S CLUB PRESIDENT

Men's Night - September 1, 2010

This week, the Men’s Club would like to thank their sponsor EMCO Corp. Tony and the crew at EMCO have been supporting the Men’s Club for several years and it is greatly appreciated by all the golfers. The day started out a little dreary with rain and more rain in the forecast, but the night ended up good. No rain, very little wind and lots of tiny aggressive mosquitoes (where’d they come from?). Anyway, another great night.

Next week’s sponsor is Mike’s Oilfield Services Ltd. Mike and Alan are usually our kick-off sponsor at the beginning of the year, but poor weather forced us to cancel and move their sponsorship. Mike’s Oilfield is another long time supporter of the Men’s Club and you can show your appreciation by coming out to golf on their night.

We are looking at securing a sponsor for one more Men’s Night, September 15. We have a few in mind and will keep you posted.

Men’s Club Wind-up this year is Saturday, September 18. We will be teeing off at 1:00pm and it will be an 18 hole “Best Ball” format.

Let’s all take the opportunity to golf these last few days of warm weather…see you out there.

CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP

Last Sunday, the Ladies’ and Men’s Club came together to co-host and co-sponsor the previously cancelled Club Championship. We had record numbers come out to this event under our sponsorship (around 80) and it turned out to be a great day. Even though it didn’t cost anything to enter, our clubs did give out a $50 prize for each low gross and low net winner in each flight. Thank you to Bill Spence for kicking in for the Junior division. We’d like to extend a special thanks to Jeff Graham, our assistant golf professional, for running the registration table and, with his helper, Kurtis Freter, looked after the scoring afterwards.

VICKIE LAMB, LADIES CLUB

Last Monday, August 30 we managed to get our night in. We had a fairly good turn out. We had a shared sponsor night because Synergy Credit Union got rained out the previous week and so Silverwood Toyota graciously agreed to share their night with Synergy. Thank you to George Hawrylak of Silverwood Toyota and Synergy Credit Union for your flexibility.

Needless to say we had many, many prizes to hand out. The game was Bingo and we also had 6 hole prizes. 4 Long Putt holes and 2 Closest to the Hole games. Weatherford Artificial Lift Systems supplied our Bingo game prize balls while Silverwood Toyota provided our hole prize balls. Thank you very much to both.

Next Week, will be Tuesday, September 7 when we go back to Tee Times due to the Monday holiday. Tee times start at 5:00 pm phone ahead for a time if you can or come down as soon as possible and we will just keep sending you until every lady is out. The sponsor for this night is Pyramid Corporation. Unfortunately Pyramid representative, Rhonda Burns will be unable to attend. Thanks Rhonda for supporting Ladies Golf .. I believe this is your 3rd year.

Thank you to Laurie Hnatuk and Laurie McAskill for convening Ladies' Nights for the month of August. You did a great job. I am so glad we had people that volunteered to take on different months this season. It really made my job a snap.

CARP Organization [Canadian Association of Retired People] has negotiated another rule change for Seniors:

Senior Rule 5.0
Putts that stop close enough to the cup that they could be blown in, may be blown in. This does not apply to balls more than three inches from the hole. No one wants to make a travesty of the game.

Golf Realities: If two balls are in the bunker, yours is the one in the footprint.
