Jack and Jill Went up the Hill and Won Themselves a Trophy
One of the club’s most popular tournaments was held Aug. 28th and 29th and it did not disappoint. The weather, greens and attendance were great.   An almost full slate with two flights were a sign of this tournament’s popularity. A unique feature of this event is that the men (Jacks) skip two games and the women (Jills) skip two games.
The overall winners of the event were Robbie Thomas and Wayne Larocque who came from the Early Draw. Second in that draw was the team of Debbie Taylor and Barry Conn who were in a make up team with Carol Bucyk and Andy Burton. Third in the early draw was Luise Norman and Martin Perrin. In the late draw, first went to the team of Kathleen Motley and Barry Knowles, while second went to Sandi Mitchell and David Stamp. Anne Holland and David Perry took third.
There were two mystery draws as well. Early draw winners were Maggie Webb and Ken Bucyk, while late draw winners were Donna Dunn and Ken Olenick.
There are many moving parts to making an event like this happen and happen smoothly. With that in mind, our thanks go out to the following: the games committee, kitchen crew, bartenders, groundskeepers, set-up and take down folks, photographer, novice, intermediate and seasoned players and spectators. Everyone had a hand in making the Jack and Jill Tournament the success that it was.
Next up is the George Gibson slated for early September. This tournament will be bringing in players from around the district and promises to be a good one.
