2018 Recap – Year 11, Golf Edition

Our First Golf Tournament was a SUCCESS!

Our Eleventh Tournament is over! 28 Pub Leaguers hacked their way around the links, for our 38th (!) Pub Night, and our first ever GOLF TOURNAMENT! After a marathon of 12 holes of golf, dart throwing, trivia and ball bouncing, one championistic person would championly emerge champion, capturing his first ever championship – congratulations to champion Bryan F !

2018 PUB LEAGUE CHAMPION BRYAN F


GOLFING Pub Leaguers! We’re GOLFING!

Dear Leaderette Tara M with Jana E, Marilyn B, and Jeff B on a beauty day, eh.

Jeff L and Jessica T on our beautiful & wicked hot day. Humidex of 40C!

 

Regretfully, this aircraft would unload its waste water mere seconds later.

 

Dear Leader marks his longest drive!
A record that would stand for upwards of six minutes.

 

Dan K bashed the crap out of that cube thing.

 

David W and Heather W! I wonder if Dave is still wearing his bowling shoes from last Pub League.

 

Jessica M is poised and ready, waiting for the ball to leap out of the can. 

 

Three of these people would not become Pub League Champion.
With Bryan F, Steve A, and The Michaels.


Cheers! With Jim W and Fran W.

 

Long story short – Dear Leader needs new golf shoes. Ironically, he’ll probably look in the same place these ended up.

 

Away with you, paparazzi! With Chris S and Jeff L.

 

This statue on the 10th green is very, very lifelike.

 

Jessica T carried this drunken mob.

Heard out on the course: “Don’t worry. We’ve got another 6 holes to even this thing out.” (-“The course is only 12 holes.) “MOTHERFU-(SMASHING NOISES)”

Ian C, with Spencer L.
Moments later one of these men would beat the crap out of the other, with a putter.

 

Ian C, Spencer L, and Richard M observe Jessica M, who would have made this shot, if not for the relentless clicking of a camera shutter. 

 

A little bit of Sandra in the sun!

 

Michelle D, Dale D and Dave L – Team 15 represent!


It was a remarkably tight race out on the course. The best scoring groups put together an impressive 38 over 12 holes, with three groups rounding out the bottom with a still very decent 48. 

In one of the most challenging Pub League events in history, Bryan F managed to rise above the pack with a an impressive 4 point cushion to claim his victory along with a $100 prize. A tie breaker led past-champion Jeff L to his 2nd place finish and $20 for beer money. Other prizes included $20 for Longest Drive (Michael C & Jana E), $20 for Closest to the Pin (Bryan F & Sandra K), $20 for our Trivia Winner (Alvin K) and as usual we gave $10 to ease the pain of our Teeter Prize winner, the Person Who Tried Everything But Finished Last – this time around it was Ron K. 

Also, our drunken smacking of balls managed to raise funds for nine bedkits for Sleeping Children Around the World. Congratulations to everyone for all of your generosity in attending, playing the 50/50, and all greatly-appreciated donations. You’ve brightened the lives of kids who don’t have it as great as the rest of us. Here’s an example of some of the kids you helped in 2017, that showed up in our mailbox recently:

That brings Pub League’s Sleeping Children contribution to 92 bedkits so far! Well done.

 

Random Memories from my pocket, the next day

And yes, for those counting, the 2018 MacKinnon Challenge Cup was awarded in 2019. Which means the 2019 MacKinnon Challenge Cup should be awarded… darn soon! Stay tuned for details!
