Community Yard Sale Anyone interested in selling unwanted items to raise some extra money but do not have the space, well we have the space for you! On Saturday June 18 from 1:00-3:00 p.m. 14 Wing Teen Council and 14 Wing Community Council will have their fi rst ever The 19 th Hole FINALLY, we are having some dry warm weather. It has been a long time coming but I think we are heading for summer. The Ladies held their fi rst Early Bird tournament and there were 13 ladies competing. The winner of the Field Low Net was Margie Welin and the Field Low Gross winner was Cyndi Landry. Congratulations ladies! The rest of the winners were: 1st Division: 1st LN- Sandra Cathcart, 2nd LN- Sheila Johnson and 3rd LN- Donna Hill. The Second Division winners were: 1st LN- Sue O’Connor, 2nd LN- Sharyne Trimm and 3rd LN- Sue Burke. The Next tournament scheduled for the Ladies is June 19th, The Rose Bowl. Sign up sheet is in the locker room. Several teams from Greenwood were in Clare for the Mixed Tournament and some even came home with prizes. Janice Spinney and Peter Foy won 2nd Low Net in the 4th Division and Doug Carpenter and Wendy Richardson won 3rd Low Gross in the 2nd Division. This year we were able to play all three days and didn’t get wet. Quite a change from previous years. Clare is always a fun tournament and the organizing committee did an awesome job, rain or shine we really enjoy ourselves. Thanks to Brian and Debbie W. for bringing back the prizes (they stayed to bring home their 1st LG in the 1st Div.) On Victoria Day we had a fun time with 17 golfers playing Stableford, great fun. Before even heading out on the course we had fun with Glen P, he now owns and is wearing a very bright yellow jacket quite similar to the one Wendy and Audrey are wearing (I believe it came off the same rack!), cut the tag out of it and away he went. I was told that Scott S. had quite a tee shot on #2, however, it was found on the cart path between the green on #8 and the tee box on #9! In no way does that fall into, Hit ‘em Long and STRAIGHT! Ian M. had a fl at tire on the 17th tee, apparently “Weight” was NOT a contributing factor. After all was said and done, the winners for the day were: Greenies: Frank C. had 2 and Scott S. and Scottie C. claimed the other two. To add more fun to the mix, teams were drawn AFTER the round was fi nished and there were two teams tied: Pat Grist, Scott S., Bill M. and Ian M.; and Steve G., Phil A., Glen P. and Doug C. It certainly was a lot of fun and thanks to Scottie for organizing it. Mens Tuesday Night has started and I will have the results of the fi rst night in the next issue.
