Men's Haig

The 2021 Men's Haig had an incredible 108 men register to play!  Unfortunately not all of our competitors were able to finish their rounds as a lightning storm rolled through Whitevale at 5:00pm leaving 6 groups unable to finish their rounds.  

Again this year we had a tightly contested event with the team of Kevin Ashe & Tom Bermingham squeaking out the victory with a stellar score of 61.6.  John Pullam and Tim Waddell were right on their heels with a score of 62.9.  

Cam Hreljac and Pat Scanga took the gross competition with an amazing 6 under score of 66.  While the teams of Mark Brewer/Barry Catterall & Wade Brackenbury/Dave Walker finished tied for second with 2 under par 70's.

Thank you to all of our players and for the patience of the afternoon players as we tried to wait out the weather.

Women's Haig

The 2021 Women's Haig event saw 13 teams compete for the title in what has become one of our most popular formats.  The morning players were treated to slightly cooler temperatures and a little break from the sun, while the afternoon groups got the full weight of the sun and heat. 

The competition was impressive with the vast majority of our teams finishing under par.  Our winners, Yvette Fulton & Margaret Chew fired an amazing 63.7 giving them a slight edge over second place finishers, Cathy Dorman & Margaret Hart, who shot 64.2.

Thank you to all who participated.  For a full list of winners and payouts, please visit the club website calendar, click on the Women's Haig and the "Open Golf Genius" tab.

The Junior/Senior

 On Sunday, Whitevale played host to 25 teams for the 2021 Junior/Senior tournament.  This year we had the majority of our Juniors play the 18 hole event and compete for the Alfie Flug Trophy.  This event is a true alternate shot and can be very difficult, but our players we able to post some great scores regardless.

Our 2021 champions with a net score of -3 69 Gerry Dinneen & Michael Mahon.

Congratulations to all who participated and special thanks to Bob Myrvold for his continued support of this great event.

The Whitevale Classic

 It felt like things were getting a little bit back to normal as the competitors gathered for the first Whitevale Classic in two years.  Despite being limited to field of 60 players, the sense of camaraderie and friendly competition filled the patio as teams prepared to tee off.  Temperatures reaching the high 30's set the stage for some hot scores.  There was a tie at -9 for third between the teams of Chris Couch, Brett McConnachie, Brent Wiens, Sean Gibson & Donnie O'Connell, Fred Calvert, Darryl Brown & Tim Packer.  Second place was captured by Dan McConnachie, Anthony Sgovio, Gabor Karl & Jerry Kimber, who fired a terrific -12.  But the day was won by Pat Scanga (who shot 71 on his own ball) Jeff McConkey, Tom Bermingham & Kevin Neild. 

Congratulations to all who participated to make this event so much fun!

The Husband & Wife/Common Law

We had 16 Couples take part in this year's Husband & Wife/Common Law event.  With the humidity finally taking a day off, our players were treated to a perfect day for golf.  This event is a true Alternate Shot format, which can be tough on a relationship!  But the patio was full of smiles and stories at the conclusion of play.  

There were several good scores including a tie for second between Chris & Debbie Couch and Michael Woolgar & Darlene Hart who both fired a net 1 under par 71!  But it was Mark and Lisa Brewer who set themselves apart from the field (including a 1 under par gross back 9) with a net 7 under 65.  

Thank you to all who participated and helped make this event so much fun!

2021 Steak & Corn Mixed Haig

 On Thursday, August 12, we hosted the 2021 Steak & Corn event.  The event is a chance for members to meet new members they may not otherwise play with and to compete in a fun Haig format.  We once again missed the forecasted inclement weather and a bit of cloud cover offered some protection against another scorching day.  18 teams counted themselves as champions, taking home steaks for their efforts, but it was the team of Tom O'Connor & Sue Dickinson that will have their names engraved on the trophy with a score of 66.2. 

Congratulations to Temie Fry & Michael Woolgar who won their respective closest to the hole competitions.

A big thank you to Brian & Susanne Sambleson for their continued support of this event.
