SVCC "Represents" at BCC APRIL FOOLS OPEN



Robert Auld, John Zimnoch, Derek Schulz and Bill Auld made a solid showing at the BCC's prestigious championship backyard golf event 'The April Fools Open' (held in July 11-but of course). And what is this, a new age in backyard golf-"holes" not "hoops"? Very interesting to say the least. A consensus approval from the competitors. Fun!

Representing a good quarter of the competing field-the SVCC was able to send Derek and Bill to the final, exciting round of competition. Derek was in contention until hole number 7 and Bill was just one point behind the BCC groundskeeper, Gary Simpson, going into the final hole. A well placed shot-a clean birdie- and Bill could bring the BCC cup back to the SVCC clubhouse once again. But this is his course after all and Simpson's shot nearly landed in the new "hole". A kick in birdie closed out any chance to dethrone the worthy champion.

Good job once again Groundskeeper. Your hosting and hospitality are not equalled.
