GOLF OPERATIONS REPORT

By: Kendall Costain

The Club is again offering free golf for September and October for new

members when you sign up for your 2015 membership. This is a great

opportunity for family and friends who are thinking of joining next year

to extend their golf season for two months at 2014 rates.

The long range forecast is looking great for September, which will be

great for the many events that are planned for this Month. Please check

our calendar for the dates and time of the events. The Elimination Draw

event will be on Saturday, September 27th

, 2014 this will be a very

exciting time for WGCC, and could have a huge influence on the future

success of our Club. Please support this worthy cause as the benefits

will enhance your membership.

Knowing the season of highs and lows, I’m still very proud of all the

staff for their hard work, and dedication. I’m especially proud of the

greens staff, knowing the amount of extra work I’ve put on them, and

being short-handed they did a fantastic job. Five full time staff looking

after an 18 hole golf course is a lot of hard work, it takes dedication,

passion, and the will to succeed to give the members and visitors a great

conditioned golf course.

September in my opinion is the best month for golf so please, come out

and enjoy the beautiful weather, scenery and create some memories that

last a life time.



PRO SHOP NOTES

By: Stephen LeBlanc

Summer is slowly winding down. I tend to divide the golf season into

two sections, pre Molson and post Molson. Although we are still getting

some amazing weather and the course is really coming along nicely.

Plenty of great golfing days left.

We recently had our course record smashed by the same person who

held the previous course record. Neil Roberts shot a 10 under, 59 on

Thursday, August 21, 2014 while playing a NFH Club Championship

match against Mike Byrne. Neil carded 11 birdies, 6 pars and 1 bogey.

The 5 time Club Champion shot the previous course record of 62, twelve

times before going 3 shots deeper for 59. Congrats Neil!

The 17th

Annual Molson Canadian Cup was a huge success again this

year. We had two perfect days of sun for the participants, who all

seemed to enjoy themselves and many who commented on the great

shape of the golf course along with the food and service in the

clubhouse. I would like to thank Barry Reid and Kevin Carson who did a

fantastic job organizing the event. We had some hard working

volunteers and junior forecaddies as well that helped make the event run

smoothly. A huge thanks to all involved. The overall champions were

Shane McCullum and Shawn Branch. The net winners were Billy Walsh

and Andrew King.

The ticket sales for the 15 year membership are going well. If you

haven’t purchased your ticket yet, please stop by the Pro Shop and pick

one up. Lots of great prizes to be won and the money is going right back

into the golf course. Please remind all nonmembers that the prizes are

transferable as well and that they will receive their green fee for free if

they purchase the ticket on the day of their round.



Fall sales are in effect in the Pro Shop, all clothing is 40% off, shoes are

30% off and hats and gloves are 25% off.

LADIES ASSOCIATION

By: Cheryl Price

Autumn golf season is on its way. Personally I like fall as one of the best

times, the trees are pretty and the days aren`t so hot. Although this

summer was not really that hot.

Things are starting to wind down. Matches should be done or almost

done. We have had our Club Championship in August with Karen Bird

being this year`s winner. Our Scotch Ball was August 6th

with a good

number of ladies taking part—both Niners and Eighteeners. Thunder

kept us on our toes on the last holes. All in all a great day.

Wednesday Ladies Day will go till near the end of the month. Sign up in

the locker room. Our closing dinner is Tuesday, September 23rd

(details

on next page). This has been changed from Monday to Tuesday as the

provincial election is on Monday. Plan to come as it is our election night

as well as one of our final events for this year.

As for me this will be my last newsletter as president. I have enjoyed my

two years on the job. I certainly learned a lot and the time has flown by.

When I took this on, my mom was ill and I wondered how I would

manage both but it wasn`t that difficult and I hope when you are asked

to take on a job you will consider it. This is your Club. I would like to

thank everyone for their support. I could not have done it without all of

you.

NINERS REPORT

By: Mary Hogan

Hard to believe the month of August is over and what a busy month.

We played the Scotch Ball, which was enjoyed by all. Thanks to the

18ers for a fun day of golf. We went to Riverside and had a good day, a

little on the hot side but a fun filled day. Last Monday we headed to

Pennfield for lunch and then to Nicole’s cabin for an afternoon of fun.

We played a few games outside but got to hot so went in and played a

new dice game and had cake and tea served in cups and saucers…we

golfed on Wednesday, hard to believe we got the month in with no

rain…we still have some golf games in September and our fun day.

Don’t forget closing banquet is coming up also. Just a reminder we are

still looking for someone to take over the Niners as Edie, Marie and I are

stepping down….get out and enjoy the rest of the season.

SUPER SENIORS

By: Phil Reeves

Sad to say we are starting to see those first patches of red in the forests

reminding us that the passing of summer is once again sneaking up on

us. At this time we are also saddened by the recent passing of Alex

McIntosh – a member who was near and dear to the Super Seniors

organization. He will be long remembered for his sharp wit and those

gruff retorts – “where’s your money?” – “have you paid your dues?”

The Super Seniors have made arrangements to have a McIntosh apple

tree planted on the course in memory of Alex.

I have also received a proposal that we retire the Estey Cup as there is no

longer sponsorship interest in this award and that we introduce a new

trophy in memory of Alex.



With September sneaking up on us it is critical that we get matches

played so we can get to the end of the two events. At this time I would

ask that if you can’t find time to play your game please forfeit the game

to your opponent so that the draw can proceed. Remember that both

events are double elimination knockouts so everyone is guaranteed two

games. The draw sheets are posted on the bulletin board in the men’s

locker room so please keep on top of your progress.

We had a lot of inter-club activity over the past month. We participated

in a two-man scramble inter-club event in Sussex on July 21st but none

of our members made it to the prize podium.

We hosted an inter-club event with Fredericton, Sussex and Gage on

August 7th

where the Westfield players were well represented on the

prize podium – in the gross category Kevin Carson [74] was second,

Gerry Keith [76] was third and Dave Kean [76] was fourth. In the net

category Ron Brunet [64] was second, Walter Foster [64] was third,

Merrill Loughery [64] was fourth, Bob Whipple [65] was fifth, Paul Hill

[66] was sixth, Winston Goodwin [66] was seventh, Dave Hey [68] was

ninth, and Dave Greason [68] was tenth. Bob Plume won a closest to the

pin award for hole #18.

We participated in a tri-club at Riverside on August 12th

where Dave

Kean was sixth low gross winner, Brian Wilkins was ninth low net

winner and Jacques Ouellette won a closest to the pin award.

We also participated in an inter-club event at Gage on August 25th

where

Merrill Loughery was the third low net winner in Division 2B.

Fredericton will be making their third attempt to host their inter-club

event on Thursday September 4th

. The signup sheet for this event is in

the office and entries will close on September 1st at noon. We have



started a new sign up sheet for this event so even if you signed up

previously for one of the earlier dates you have to contact the office in

order to be signed up for this event on September 4th

. We have been

guaranteed 16 cart seats, which will be issued on a first come, first

served basis, after that you will be put on a waiting list.

In terms of our regular draw events we had a two man alternate shot

game on July 31st won by Jim Pattman and Carl Tilley with a score of

85, Walter Foster also won closest to the pin on hole #18 and Gary

MacFarlane won closest to the 150 yard marker on hole #17. On August

21st we played a scramble where all players had to use a designated club

for a specific shot on each hole and the winning team for this event was

Walter Foster, Bill Wilson, Ron Brunet and Chuck Hickey with a score

of 68 and Don Campbell won the closest to the 150-yard marker on hole

#17. On August 28th

closest to the pin winners were Jim McHugh on

hole #2 and Jim Lyons on hole #6. Ray Wasson won closest to the 150-

yard marker on hole #10.

We will have a modified Stapleford team event on September 11th

and

our closing scramble and luncheon will be on September 25th

.

We are hoping for a continuation of the nice weather throughout

September so get out and enjoy.
