Wow…it is June already! Now that we have had a little bit of
rain the course is in even better shape. It is so nice to be able to
have a relaxing game of golf and enjoy the course…and the wild life.
Apparently we have a huge turtle in the pond on # 11 and there have
been sightings of deer, a fox and a coyote… and of course there are
the usual black flies and bees.

co-operated and we had a nice weekend for the Founders and Builders
Mixed Scramble. There were 21 teams competing and they came from
Halifax, Yarmouth, and the Valley Clubs. Thanks to all those who took
part in the tournament and to those who helped organize it. The meal
on Saturday was Roast Beef and it was yummy. We held a 50/50 both days
and Vern Crossman won the first day and John MacMichael won on Sunday.
