Team Fuschia take 2021 Solheim Cup

After a glorious warm and sunny afternoon of competition on September 19th, the Fuschia Team emerged victorious over the Purple Team to reclaim the Solheim Cup – 15 points to 5 points.

Twenty competitive ladies, all flaunting their team colours, battled it out for the 14^th annual event, which was a three-games-in-one format: better-ball, alternate shot, and singles matches.

Following the match the trophy was presented amid champagne toasts and speeches and cheers. 

The trophy was presented to Fuschia Team Captain Linda Briggs by Purple Team Captain Anne Trimble. 

Fall Derby

 The 2021 Fall Derby was held this Saturday and Sunday and we had an incredible 28 teams of four participate this year.  The wind and rain played a major factor for many of the competitors on Saturday, but there were still lots of great scores recorded.  Sunday was a perfect day for golf and our players took advantage with some low scoring.

Congratulations to the team of Steve Marshall, Don Dwyer, Wayne Bourgeois & Darren Friesen who won the event with a total of 47 teams beat over the course of the two day event.

Mixed Up With String

 On Saturday, September 19th, Whitevale hosted the 2nd Mixed Up With String tournament.  A fun Scramble event where teams are allowed to erase up to 27 feet of putts by using portions of their allotted string to hole the shot.  This year we had 44 participants who were treated to a spectacular day of golf, camaraderie and food.  This year's champions, David Bird, Darryl Brown, Jill Fewster-Yan and Wayne  Carpenter fired an unbelievable 44.6 to win the event.  In second with a score of 48.1 was Dave Convery, Art Pingree, Vanda Vicars & Terri Toms.  Third place went to the team of Glenn Mackie, James Byrne, Tom Duckworth & Margaret Tennyson with a 48.5

A big thank you to the Chef, John and his team, Linda Briggs and Dave Convery for supporting the event and making the day a special one.
