Chipmunk Chatter From The Wawenock Golf Course

Member-Member TournamentThis two person, team tournament was played during this past weekend with the first day being a scramble and the second, a best ball competition. Ann Knott and Joanne Nelson were the low gross winners, and Nancy Ochs and Vanessa Mengzel, low net winners for the ladies.

For the men Chris Lincoln and Bill Dagley were first low gross and Doug Hancock and Stan Wade were second. Alan Lessner and Barry Knott were first low net and Tom Burnham and Casey Burnham came in second.Men’s Evening LeagueLast week the Men’s Evening League’s finals were held with Team Daly, led by Kyle Feltis, emerging victoriously over Team Stenson, led by Rodney Waltz. Members of the winning team were Ralph Wyman, Joe Keller, Mike Prentice, Bill Whitney and Dicky McKenney. Team Leader, Kyle, stated that “As I looked at my players during the first week of league play, I was sure that this team had no chance of winning the championship, and I told them so,” said Team Leader Feltis. “I kept doubting all the way to the finals.”

He went on to say that he thought his negative attitude caused the team to play harder and better. “It worked,” he said, “We won!” Kyle set a good example for the group by winning all but two of his matches.

The season is winding down at Wawenock, but this week is the annual challenge between the Boothbay Country Club and Wawenock. It ought to be an interesting contest as our players are out to avenge last year’s loss.Missing WinnersWe are trying to bring up-to-date Wawenock plaques that indicate winners of various tournaments during past years. If you were a men’s President’s Cup Winner in 1997, 1999 or 2000, let us know.

If you were a Senior Women’s Champion in 1995, 1996, 1997 or 1998, also let us know. If anyone remembers who won in these years, your input is welcome as well.

A final question: has anyone seen the Memorial Day Winner’s plaque that used to hang in the Pro Shop?
