THURSDAY NIGHT MEN’S TWILIGHT NEWS
Town and Country Chrysler was the generous sponsor of the July 8th edition of the Thursday Night Men’s Twilight and the format was a good one: 4 Man Twilight Best Ball.
Nate O’Neil led his team of Dom Peladeau, Berek Hinton, Jeff Hinton, and Jay Jamieson to victory in the A Division on the front side with a score of 31. Jason Drummond, Steve Lumsden, Scott Bedford, Hank Hart, Greg Sonnenberg, and “The Other Guy” claimed the front nine B Division title with a 34.
On the back nine, Jim Kayser captained the team of Tye and Nic Vaillancourt (a.k.a. “Mini-me” and “Mini-mini-me”), Mike Milks, and Mike Whitby to an impressive A Division score of 28. Dave Hawkins, Jim Gunn, John Hoysted, another Hoysted, and Rod Cook were once again B Division winners with an awesome 30.
Jordan Best and George Thompson were the Roosteraunt “Closest to the Pin” prize winners for their tee shots on holes 8 and 14. Adam Summers and Sober Mike picked up the Burns’ Jewelers prizes for best approach shot on holes 5 and 15, respectively.
The longest drives on holes 9 and 10 went to Steve Lumsden and Dan McNeely. Justin Woody was the 50/50 draw winner, and Nate O’Neil won the bottle of Rocky’s Rubbing Alcohol. Speaking of Twilight Ayatollah, Rocky had a hole in one on number 16! Congratulations, Supreme Leader!

THURSDAY NIGHT MEN’S TWILIGHT NEWS
It is with a heavy heart that I write this edition of the Thursday Night Men’s Twilight News, in light of the passing of our good friend, and Twilight regular, Gerry Lowe. As difficult as it is to accept that Gerry is gone, I hope we can all find some solace in his memory; the jokes and the generosity. Gerry was a true original whose very presence energized any event, and Thursday night golf was no different. We won’t forget his rushing in to the clubhouse last minute, patting backs, and throwing out one-liners, hurrying to sign in at the head table. We won’t forget his infectious laughter, or his good natured teasing. And, most of all, we won’t forget to have fun, because that’s what Gerry would have wanted.
Smith’s Shoes was our June 24th Twilight sponsor. A red, white, and blue scramble, the night included some impressive scoring. Dale Kerfoot, Tom Henderson, Hugh Gillespie, Brent Rotundo, Bill Crawford, and Hugh Colton were the A Division winners on the front nine with a score of 28. In the B Division, Greg Hull, Jerry Edwards, Bob Mulrooney, David Fleming, Chris Saumure, and Jim Paul were close behind with an impressive 29.
The Roosteraunt closest-to-the-pin prizes went to Greg Hull and Dave Fleming for their tee shots on holes 3 and 8. The Burns’ Jewellers best-second-shot gift certificates were awarded to Hug Colton and Garth Hannah for their approaches on holes 4 and 5.
Blake Loucks and Steve McKenna were the long drivers of the evening, smashing a couple deep on holes 6 and 9. Justin MacMillan was the 50/50 draw winner, and Chris Saumure took home the bottle of Rocky’s Paint Thinner.
Finally, Jim Gunn was the winner of the not so prestigious shortest drive prize, taking home a very special piece of apparel. You’ll have to ask him about it. Thanks to our sponsor, Smith’s Shoes, and to all who came out. See you next week.
Last week’s Obsessed With Golf Trivia question:

Answer: D. 1982, Pebble Beach GL

MEN’S THURSDAY NIGHT TWILIGHT NEWS
Our friends at Glenview Iron and Metal sponsored the June 17th edition of the Thursday Night Men’s Twilight and it was a banner night on the links.
The format was the ever popular 4-Man Scramble and although mathematics isn’t their strong suit, luckily for the team of Dave Hawkins, Jim Gunn, John Hoysted, Tom Hoysted, and Rob Dales, getting the little white ball in the hole is. They were the A Division champs on the front nine with a score of 29. The B Division winning team of Mark Seguin, Dave Gordon, and Andrew Flegg were also numerically challenged, cruising to a very respectable 32.
On the back nine, Twilight Ayatollah led his committee of Thursday night revolutionaries to glorious victory in the A division. Drummy, Tommy, Roy, and Mark followed Rocky’s tee-to-green fatwa and lapped the field, needing only 25 shots to get round the back nine. Craig Ritskes, Tony Ilan, Dean Buchanan, and Ted Dopson did what they do almost every week: win. This time it was the B Division on the back nine. Ho hum.
The Roosteraunt closest-to-the-pin prizes were won by Chad Storie and Rockin’ Roddy Hunt for their tee shots on holes 3 and 18. The Burns’ Jewellers gift certificates for best approach shots of the evening went to Steven Blair and George Thompson for a couple beauties on holes 2 and 12.
Dan Hoysted and Rob Dopson must be getting bored of hitting the longest drives. They did it again on holes 5 and 17. Steve James turned his back on his group, unwilling to share his 50/50 winnings, and Justin Jennings picked up the bottle of Greg Hull’s Truth Serum.
Thanks to all who came out. See you next week.

MEN’S THURSDAY NIGHT TWILIGHT
Smiths Falls Nissan was behind the wheel of the June 10th edition of the Thursday Night Men’s Twilight and, although the weather threatened to put a damper on the evening, there was a good turnout and fun time was had by all.
The format was a 3-Man Scramble, unless you were the Haskins boys. Cobey and Matt didn’t need a third player to get the job done; they were the front side winners in the A Division with a score of 31. Such talent! Must have got it from their mother, Mary. And speaking of talent, Doug Henderson, Jack Anderson, and George Francis were the B Division champs—again. Those guys are machines! They just need a little oil to get them going.
On the back nine, Paul and Nick Vaillancourt (a.k.a. “Me” and “Mini-Mini-Me”) also scoffed at the idea of a third player, cruising to a low A Division score of 29. Jerry Lowe was concentrating so hard on his game that he barely spoke a word to John Tobin and Dave Gordon. Together, they posted the low B Division tally of 31.
The Roosteraunt closest to the pin prizes was a Henderson affair. Doug stuck it tight on number 8 and Tom threw a dart on 16. The Burns Jewelers prizes for closest second shots went to Jeff Hinton and John Tobin for a couple beautiful approaches on holes 2 and 12.
The longest drives of the evening on holes 4 and 15 were pounded by Cobey Haskins and Gerry Lowe. Apparently Gerry forgot to take the boxing glove head cover off his driver. Hey, whatever works.
Mike McIntosh had the winning 50/50 number and Justin Jennings took home the bottle of Rocky’s Balance Buster. But most would agree that the high point of the evening was when Craig Ritskes proved he’s the flat stick king of the world by draining the “20 boards” putt. According to his team, it was the only one he’s made this year.
Thanks to the sponsor, Smiths Falls Nissan, and to all of those who came out. See you next week.
