Porky & Rocket’s Scramble Features Great Scoring
Posted on 30 June 2009The annual Porky & Rocket’s Revenge Scramble took place last Saturday at the Club, an event to honour the memory of George “Porky” Mann and Dale “Rocket” Sander. Both men were huge boosters of South Muskoka and long-time members who left us far too soon. The Mann and Sander families sponsor the event which has been sold out for as long as we can remember.
This year the Ladies Division was won by the team of Kathy Kent, Sheila Burgess, Catherine Aitken and Judy Thorne who recorded a 4 under par 68. In the Mixed Division, Sue & Rick Nelson teamed with daughter Jesse Sandhu and Brian Dickson for a 7 under par 65, just edging Len & Midge Sculthorp with their partners Candice & Grant Geddes, who shot 66. The Men’s Division featured some great scoring, and in the end “experience” won out over enthusiasm as the team of Bob & Rob Heath, Dave Robinson & Bill Fleming took the title with an outstanding 14 under par 58, a single stroke ahead of Mark Handrigan, Joe Nelson, Ken Sorensen and Brian Hamblin.

Ayotte Wins CJGA Ames Cup Qualifier
Posted on 22 June 2009Michael Ayotte of Whitby didn’t let Saturday’s tough, rainy conditions throw him off his game, as he posted a tidy score of 2 over par 74, and then followed that up with an even par 72 on Sunday to win the boys section of the CJGA Stephen Ames Cup Qualifier. The event is an annual 2 day tournament held at South Muskoka, and as it falls on Father’s Day weekend includes a father and son/daughter competition which is a unique feature of the tournament.
Alex Dumais of Caledon East, Ontario was Boy’s runner up with a fine score of 76/72 for 148 while Mississauga’s Hailey Ingleson won the Girls Division with a 164 total.
Berny Nymyer and daughter Lee Anne, of Stratford, won the Father/Child competition by shooting 80/79 for an excellent 159 total.
Several golfers from CJGA’s Ontario ranks will participate in the annual Stepehn Ames Cup, a competition which pits Canadian Junior golfers against juniors from Ames birthplace of Trinidad & Tobago, with proceeds going to further Junior golf programmes in both countries.
