South Muskoka Curling & Golf Club: the best golf value in Muskoka

September is always a busy month at the Club, with a number of exciting events for members. First up is the Seniors’ Fall Classic on Monday September 13th, a four player scramble for either male or female teams. Then comes the ever popular Junior & Senior on Monday September 20th. The winning combination of youthful power and veteran savvy always makes for a great golf tournament. The Ladies have their wrap-up dinner on Tuesday the 28th, the last Men’s Night of the season follows on the 29th, and as we creep into October we will have the annual Member’s Finale, a two player scramble, on Saturday October 2nd. Sign up in the pro shop and get ready for some great golf.

After getting off to a fantastic start with club record 5 under par 67, Bryan Beeson followed up in the final round with a steady 3 over par 75, and claimed the 2010 Men’s Club Championship. Dave Allen was second, a full 9 shots back, and Steve Roche claimed the net title with a 138.
In the Senior Men’s Division John Acton posted rounds of 72 and 77 but had to win a sudden death playoff over Rick Thorne, who opened with a 76 , then improved to 73 on day 2, and pulled into a tie with Acton on the last hole of regulation play. Acton then sank a 35 foot birdie on the first extra hole for the win. Thorne won low net as consolation.
The Ladies Champion is Lori Fay who carded steady rounds of 88 and 86. Judy Thorne won the Ladies Net title with 139 in a tiebreaker with Reta Houston. The Junior Boys winner was a repeat of 2009, as Jeffrey Gardner shot 76 & 75 to come from one stroke back and just edge out Mitchell Augustine who slipped to a 79 total in the second round and a two day score of 154. Nolan Blum was the Junior Boys net winner, witha score of 140.
The Men’s B Flight was won in rather remarkable fashion by John Jennings Jr. JJJ opened with a sloppy 91 but roared back with a career-best 74 to win handily. Lloyd Meeks was the B Flight Net Champion at 140.

2010 marked the inaugural Tim Greavette Memorial tournament, succeeding the original Greavette Mixed Member & Guest, in honour of Tim who passed away 2 years ago after a brief illness. He is sorely missed by family and friends, his colleagues in the business community, and fellow members at South Muskoka.
The tournament continued the tradition of choosing a theme for each year’s event, and this year it was the 50’s and 60’s. The clubhouse was rocking with music of the era, and decorated with reminders of the films and music of the time. All Oscar winning films and Grammy winning songs of the two decades were represented, and players wore their best 50’s and 60’s attire for the dinner and prize presentations. And yes, Elvis did make an appearance.
On the golf course, the team of Lloyd and Christine Meeks, with Dave and Annette Allen won the championship with an outstanding score of 120.3. They were 6 strokes better than the runners up in the Flight, David Morrison and MaryAnne Twiddy with Bruce & Bev Lawson. In the Cadillac Flight, Jill & Kevin Chilvers teamed with Carrie and Brent Reid to claim first place with a score of 129.4. Marilyn and Les Rozsa joined with Dave and Lynn Langford and placed second in the flight, 4 strokes back at 133.4.
Thanks to Bill and Glenn Greavette and Greavette Motors for their continuing support of this event. The fun-filled 2010 version was a very fitting tribute to Tim.
