Golf at Cooke

Thursday, it was cool and windy, but only partly cloudy, so Randy and I ventured out on Cooke for a round of golf. We kept our own scores, but played match play. I scored 52 front and back for 104 and 19 putts front and back for 38 putts. I won 10 holes to Randy's 6 holes and we squared 2 holes. Overall - a great day of golf.

Wet Cool Golf?

Randy wants to try golf tee-off at 1:06 pm Thursday. Forecast is +8c and 60% probability of rain.. Not looking good.

Australia Cap

Harry Hancock, my former senior golf partner (only got one game in together this summer, and still coffee buddy brought an Australian golf cap back from Australia for me. Great keepsake. Thank you Harry!!

Senior Golf Range Volunteer

This year I signed up to be an alternate for the Tuesday evening shift at the Cooke Golf Driving Range. I worked with Harry Hancock early in the season to figure out what I had to do. Then I filled in once for someone and also for Harry when he was on vacation in Australia. On October 2nd, I attended an Appreciation Supper for the Senior Volunteers and it was and excellent meal and great fellowship. I sat with John Schmidt and Danny Jutras. John is part of the Ham Radio fraternity and we talked about the old days of Ham Radio and his teaching career. I neglected to put my name in for the door prizes, but the MC gave me the opportunity to put my name in before he started the draws and lo and behold if my name didn't get drawn for a Rugged Country golf cap.

Guy Bellerby's Golf Holiday

In the Spring, Rev. Guy Bellerby started his ministry in his new post at Nanoose Bay on Vancouver Island. Unfortunately, the cost of golfing regularly is prohibitive. Guy decided to return to Prince Albert for a weeklong golf holiday. He stayed at Dan's and Randy's homes depending on circumstances and Dan and Guy played and incredible amount of holes of golf. Randy and I joined in as much as we were able, as well as others from our joint Bible Study groups on Thursday and then Birch Hills Golf Course on Saturday. My comment to Guy was that it was a golf holiday for me as well, as I would not have been able to go as much as I did, if he hadn't come. Guy and I were privileged to concluding one day of golf with a Salmon BBQ Bake in Dan's deck.

OK HJERTAAS GOLF TOURNAMENT

This year the weather was cool and windy making it tough to score low. Our team, the SANDTRAP SAINTS, finished at 1 under par. Team members this year were Dr. Randy Friesen, Rev. Dan Stroman, Philip Fourie, and Art Pederson. We received a phone call during the round from former teammate, Rev. Guy Bellerby. Dan and I were able to attend the Awards Banquet and my name was drawn for a $50 Gift Card for Home Depot in Saskatoon. Still haven't made a trip down there to use it. Team prize for each of us was a SGI zipper bag with a sleeve of Calloway golf balls and a nice SGI logo golf towel.

Saskatchewan Roughriders Summer

It was a great start to the season with 6 wins in a row. Now up to 9 wins with the win against Calgary last night. Keep it up guys! GO RIDERS GO!
