The London Hunt Club 125th Anniversary Event
Saturday, June 12, 2010
On a warm and cloudy day, the allotted thirty hickory hackers took to the fairways
to demonstrate their hickory golfing skills for the members of The London Hunt Club.
Four London Hunt members joined us, including 88 year old Emerson Creed,
a living legend in Ontario golf circles.
As both a player and administrator, Mr. Creed is a leader and role model for those who know him.
On this day, he was a big factor in the first place finish of the Paul Dietz foursome.
Paul, in fact, frequently caddied for Mr. Creed as a teenager,
when Emerson was competively active.
From 9:30 to 11:15, there was an antique golf show in the clubhouse
followed by tee times beginning at eleven thirty.
Following the golf, a fine sitdown dinner was enjoyed in a diningroom overlooking the tenth fairway.
The results of the day were announced and book prizes were given out .
The scores were remarkably close, among the eight teams.
The spread from top to bottom was only seven shots with all teams under par of 72.
Here are the results......
First -- a tie at 64
Paul Dietz, Wayne Baigent, Susan Holliday, Emerson Creed
and
Peter Johnson, Wayne Linton, Pat Mihm
Third -- a tie at 65
Bill Truppe, John Bennet, John Duffy, Paul Sorley
and
Kevin Reilly, Jason Miller, Jim Palk
Fifth -- a tie at 67
Ian Marshall, Bill Stewart, Don Zeigler, John Kalbfleish
and
Paul Winslow,Walt Soetans, Ken Hopkins, Judy Hopkins
Seventh -- at 69
Tom Miller, Barry Deathe, Ron Dunn, Al Hughes
Eighth -- at 71
Gerry Atchtymichuk, Doug Marshall, Craig Blair, Adrienne Blair
All in all a very successful and enjoyable day was had by all.
Many thanks to the Hunt Club for inviting us to share in their celebration
