So You Think You're Tough - Results

What has been one of the best seasons I can remember in the last number of years came to a close yesterday with our final day. For the many years it has been happening we held our "So You Think You're Tough" event which had a number of players show up and enjoy the course, weather and each others company. Here are the top 4 teams which were chosen by a random draw, congratulations to this years winning team:

1st - Ken Oley, Tim Charlton, Bob Didiuk & Don Pickthall. (Score 160) $35/person
T 2nd - Gerry Lawrence, Tom Gallagher, Paul Dunphy & Chris Denysek. (Score 169) $25/person
T 2nd - Wade Brackenbury, Stephen Robinson, Jay Davis & John Fleming. (Score 169) $25/person
4th - Peter Lambrinos, Chris O'Brien, Pat Lamanna & Norma Columbus. (Score 172) $20/person

*Your winnings will be kept in the golf shop if you happen to stop by during the off season or you can pick them up in 2017!

This photo from yesterday is the perfect ending to 2016. John McCormick hit the first tee shot this year way back on April 20th and it's only fitting that he was here yesterday to enjoy the final day.

Thank you to each and every member who made the 2016 season so great. I wish everyone a happy and healthy off season and look forward to seeing each and every one of you in 2017!

After yesterdays announcement we would be closing 9 holes to apply winter fungicide, an enormous amount of emails were sent in complaining about this plan. This application is the single most important application of the season. If we get it wrong, grass will die. In a worst case scenario all tees green and fairways will be dead in the spring. We cannot apply in wind, we cannot apply in rain. If the application is done too late in the season the product may not get into the plant making it unreliable. Leaves must be blown off, vacuumed up and hand picked off these surfaces as they would prevent the product from reaching the turf, a slow tedious job adding much more time required to spray than in the summer. In addition, the product must dry on the turf before allowing cart or foot traffic on the grass as this may remove the product from the target.

Here is a good example of what the course may look like if I miss the window of application. This was the spring of 2006. Sod installed late in 2005 did not get the product applied early enough and snow mould was not controlled. I am confident every member would say this is unacceptable.
Once again, this is short term pain for long term gain.

Upcoming Maintenance

On Tuesday November 8th the Back 9 will be closed and on Thursday November 10th the Front 9 will be closed for winter preparation. If you are planning on coming out for 18 holes you will have to play the same nine twice.

Year End Clear Out

This coming Sunday November 6th is when all golf bags and power kaddy units must be removed from the back shop storage area. This will also be the last day the range will be open for the 2016 season.

Solheim Cup 2016

The 2016 Solheim Cup was contested on Sunday. 

 And Purple retained the Cup!

  Purple 11 points – Fuschia 10 points.  

Most Improved

If there’s one thing we’d all like to do as golfers, it’s improve our handicap.

Golf is the only sport where a single number tells the world how good you are. It’s a sense of pride when the question is raised by your group at the first tee with the inevitable question

“What is your handicap?” 

It’s refreshing to see golfers who have shown their handicaps who’s boss. The golfers featured here started at different standards, took different approaches, and had different goals. The one thing they have in common is that they have all improved substantially during the last 12 months.

Airlie Brown, Anne Hill and Veronca Raos-Dunn are the three most improved golfer for the women at Whitevale for this season. Congratulations, this is a great accomplishment!!!

Closing Women's Field Day

Post aerification update

Monday September 19^th 2016

 

Welcome members and guests. Last week’s greens aerification went extremely well. Weather and equipment cooperated perfectly. Golfers will find greens bumpy and painfully slow; this is unfortunately the short term pain we must endure before we reap the long term gain.  Today is the first day we will be mowing post aerification, and we will be doing so in the late morning/early afternoon. The reason for this day time mow is to mow when the turf is dry. Morning dew makes everything sticky and mowing early while we have dew on the turf, causes us grief in a couple of ways. First, sand is picked up as it sticks to the rollers. We have invested quite significantly in the sand and we don’t want to pick it up and throw it away. Mowing when dry nearly eliminates this concern. We also won’t dull the reel blades as quickly mowing when dry as the sand stays deep in the canopy of the turf, giving us a better finished product.  I’ll apologize now for the mowers and employees on the greens when play is happening. We will do our best to minimize disruption, and we thank you for your patience.   Ball roll will begin to improve starting today.

Senior Ryder Cup Qualifying - Extended

The qualifying for the 2017 Senior Men's Ryder Cup team has been extended to Sunday October 2nd. Please visit the pro shop where you will find a full breakdown of qualifying rules or see any of the professional staff.

Gerald Lloyd JUNKIN March 5, 1925 - September 12, 2016

It is with great sadness we report the passing of long time member Gerry "The Jar" Junkin.

 

 

 

Gerry Junkin passed away peacefully on September 12, 2016 in Scarborough, Ontario, at the age of 91. Gerry will be greatly missed by his wife Marjorie whom he married in 1950, daughters Debbie (Steve MacKay) and Lori (Glen Sheffield), his grandchildren Ryan MacKay and Lindsey Della Mora (Michael Della Mora) and great-grandson Luke Della Mora. Gerry was born in Bobcaygeon, Ontario, but moved to Scarborough at just 16 years old to play hockey. Hockey would continue to dominate Gerry's life as he continued to play well into his later years after playing in the American Hockey League for professional teams such as the Hollywood Wolves and the Boston Olympics. Gerry was a regular at the monthly NHL old timers hockey lunch in Markham at Shopsy's, where he has a permanent chair in his honour engraved with his name. Gerry’s career included working as a Technical Engineer for Ontario Hydro until his retirement in 1983. Gerry then enjoyed a second part time career as a Toronto Court Clerk until he completely retired to focus on playing golf at Whitevale Golf Club. It was at Whitevale where Gerry earned his nickname "The Jar" for jarring the ball in the hole. Gerry was universally loved around Whitevale Golf Club where he played from 1973 until just recently where he continued to hold senior honorary membership. The family will be hosting a celebration of life gathering on Sunday, October 16th at Whitevale Golf Club (2985 Golf Club Rd., Whitevale, Ontario L0H 1M0), from 1 until 4 p.m., with some special memories being shared by the family starting at 2 p.m. If desired, memorial donations made out to Ontario Minor Hockey Foundation, 25 Brodie Drive, Unit 3, Richmond Hill, ON L4B 3K7, would be appreciated by the family. More information is available at http://www.hockeyfoundation.ca/waystogive.pdf or by calling 905-780-6642. - See more at: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/thestar/obituary.aspx?n=gerald-junkin&pid=181412731#sthash.p1xk1OTL.dpuf

Fall Derby - Format Change for 2016

Next weekend is the Fall Derby and for 2016 we have made a few adjustments to the format to continue to build on enjoyment and participation in the event:

Day 1 - Modified Quota Points: this is the same as in year's past but we have adjusted the scoring so that bogey or worse is worth 0 points, their will be no more regression.

Day 2 - Best Ball (6, 6, 6): Each segment of holes (1-6, 7-12, 13-18) will be played with a different partner. You will count the best gross per pair for each hole. All players receive 100% of their handicap and then 50% of the team's total will be deducted from the team's gross.

We look forward to seeing everyone next weekend!

The Whitevale Classic

It was year two for The Whitevale Classic, an event on the calendar that many members were looking forward to. The event has teams randomly selected the night before and participate in a 2 net best ball. This year the team of Jared Docking, Paul Cormier, Doug Bruce & Kevin Ashe finished with a total score of -16, enough to win by one shot.

Congratulations to the winning team and click on the link below to see full results from today.

Junior/Senior Recap

Every year we host the Junior/Senior Tournament, a great event which allows junior golfers out for a fun day of golf with a parent or relative. The format is alternate shot and I'm sure some of the kids found themselves in some pretty different parts of the course they didn't know existed. At the end of the day all of the 9 hole juniors walk away with a nice prize donated by some of the members at Whitevale. Below is a photo of our 9 hole players after their round of golf, we look forward to seeing them all next year.

There is also an 18 hole trophy event for the Junior/Senior as well. This year the team of Brendan & Paul Dunphy were able to find their way around the course posting the best score. Congratulations to all of the players is this year's event.

Whitevale Juniors Update

His GAO York Region team finished 1st in the event. Brendan also competed in the Confederation High School Spring Classic at Otter Creek and Fire Rock golf clubs where Brendan finished 2nd overall and his team also finished 2nd in the event as well.
