The Wingham Golf and Curling Club had a little bit of everything thrown at them by the weatherman this past week at the club but still managed to have a great week.
The Tuesday ladies enjoyed a sunny day with 23 girls playing their rounds throughout the day. Mary Houghton and Maria Van Kuelen were the winners of the longest putts on holes 4 and 8. The Wednesday senior men had their day washed out by an all-day rain. Many of the guys joined the staff in the clubhouse for coffee; after all, it was their day to play golf. Just a reminder to the senior men that June 22 will be the seniors morning next week due to a tournament on Wednesday.
On Thursday the weather just kept getting better as the day progressed and 48 golfers took part in the men’s night. The winners were closest-to-the pin Mike Logan; longest putt - Ken Petrie and Dennis Knox; longest drive - Seedy (Neil) Beiman; and hidden scores - Bryon Lachance, Aart DeVos and Doug Reibhardt. Teeswater boy Dave Gamble shot the low gross for the night with a 39. The club also hosted the PC party for meetings throughout the day in the Casemore Room at the club and their day wrapped up with 100 of the members enjoying a buffet in the dining lounge.
On Saturday the club was pleased to have the Godden family make their yearly golf and lunch day at the club. The rain stopped just in time for the group to enjoy the day.
On Sunday the golf club was glad to help celebrate the 85th birthday of Shirley Wharton. Around 30 family and friends came together in the dining lounge to share some stories and some laughs on this special day.
On Saturday, June 19 the club is hosting the Doctor Recruiting Tournament and June 23 the Women’s Shelter Tournament.

The club congratulates the committee and all the volunteers who helped make the Wingham Muskrat Festival a success!
