PSC Golf from The Caddy Shack
Tuesday, April 7, Pleasant Valley – Stableford
Tuesday was a visit up the Hwy 7 to Pleasant Valley, where we played from the blue tees at about 6350 yards. The course was in good condition and although the greens were on the slow side they ran true for the most part. The weather was, wait for it, yes, hot & humid with only a light breeze to give us any relief.
Allan Cassin (h/cap 12) played well to record 38 points, which could have been a few more after a stellar front 9 of 23 points. Second spot went to Jeff Wylie (7) with 33 points, also after a back 9 fade for only 13 points.
Rick hits the 6th green at Eastern Star.
Only a smallish field today, so no near pins, which was a bummer for Chris after stiffing 1 on the 17th.
Thursday, April 9, Eastern Star – Stableford
Eastern Star was the venue for Thursday’s game, with the group teeing it up from the whites at about 6575 yards. The course is undergoing some greens maintenance, however the ES management adjusted the green fee, so the course was good value and still in acceptable nick. A breeze gave us some relief from the humidity, so the playing conditions were not as oppressive as the last few weeks.
Again Allan Cassin (12) blitzed the field, this time after a slow start and coming home with 22 points for a solid 37 on the day. The best of the rest was Rick Culley (13) who had his best game for a while, with 32 points, while a flock hovered at 30 points.
Near pins were won by Allan and Clive with 2.
