In Memory - Store, Robert (Bob)

Robert (Bob) Store passed away peacefully on Monday, March 7, 2022, after many years of poor health at Bridgepoint Healthcare in Toronto. Bob was the best half of Bob and Joan for 63 years plus and will be missed each and every minute of the days ahead. He was treasured and loved by our Daughters, Lori (Scott), Linda (Sam) and Louise (George).

Bob was the proud Poppa of our Grandchildren, Chrystal (Rob) and Jason, who have been by my side each and every step providing unconditional love. Also, Poppa to our out-of-town Grandchildren,  the late Jeffrey (deceased 1997), Brian (Melissa), Michael, Jessica (Reagan) and Josh. Also, his pride and joy, Great Grandson Aiden who always brought a big smile to his face.

Weekday Women's Closing

 On a misty morning, 13 women teed off for the Weekday Women's Closing.  This year's format was a 2 Person Best Ball which was shortened to a 9 hole competition due to the rain.  

This year's winners with a Net Best Ball of 29 were Joanne Leier & Patty Grant, edging out 2nd place finishers Sue Dickinson & Diana Kirkland who shot 33.

Thank you to all who participate, to John and his team as well as Chef Floyd for the delicious BBQ.

Women's Closing Field Day

 28 of our women took to the links today despite a gloomy forecast.  For their bravery, they were rewarded with a rainless morning of golf.  Congratulations to the winning team of Margaret Hart, Sue Dickinson & Theresa Arbuthnot whose Two Best Net score of  123 was good enough for a 3 shot victory over their nearest competitor.  

Thank you to all who participated in the event as well as John and the food and beverage staff and Chef and his kitchen staff for an amazing breakfast and lunch experience. 

1st place - Margaret Hart, Sue Dickinson, & Theresa Arbuthnot - 123 ($133/each)
