Inaugural Gold Tournament

This year we were officially part of the Flamborough Chamber of Commerce’s Mini Putt Challenge as a tournament within their tournament. Not only were we eligible to win their recognition awards, SI DAF awarded the top 4-some and most honest (worst) four-some with recognition plaques!

Our club had 3 four-somes (if I remember correctly, perhaps 4) at last years FCC’s mini putt challenge and we had a blast; that is where we got the idea for having one of our own. The location of the tournament was Rock Chapel on Highway 5, west of Clappisons. It’s literally a mini green, on grass, and 18 holes.

We booked 4 four-somes with the FCC for our group. It was a bargain at $25.00 per person that included mini golf and dinner & awards after at Boston Pizza, snacks included! The top FCC team received a Canadian Cooler and $25 gc to Boston Pizza. The individual awards included two members from SI-DAF:

• FCC Lowest women’s: 72 to Sandy, owner Weeks Home Hardware (she defended her title)
• FCC Lowest mens: 61 to Ted McMckeen, MPP
• FCC Most Honest golfer – to Maria Demkovic, $25 gc plus a special trophy (see hear speak no evil)

• SI-DAF Top score at 72 avg - Barny, Janet, Alice and Shirley
• SI-DAF most honest team at 99 avg – Brooke, Kim, Elizabeth, Nancy, (Judi was in for 9 holes)
