The Wilderness Golf League met for the first time this season at Park Place Lanes in Salem, NH in preparation of the upcoming golf season at Campbell’s Scottish Highlands Golf Course.

President Bob Trottier opened up the meeting a little after 7:00 PM and we had 17 total players out of 24 show up. We lost three players this year Jim Murphy, Bob Cairns and Bob Sasso. They will be replaced by Dennis Croteau and Jim Zahareas and Rusty Gill.

Paul Comeau will be adding a few of the new rule changes to the league’s rules document that we will send out as soon as possible.

Looks like we tee off at 4:00PM on April 7th weather permitting.
I have a feeling we are in for a drier season than we have been used to the last few years. Expect to see cooler temps this season as well with some hot days in early to mid June, late July and early to mid August.

See you all on the 7th of April and enjoy the season.

Week two saw everyone bundled up trying to stay warm again. These early April matches sure due play havoc with the creaky old bones and muscles. At tee time the temps were hovering just around 40 degrees with a gusty breeze coming in from the west.

Our group teed off 2nd and I was playing Steve King and we were with Bob Cairns and new comer Jack Goulet. I don’t think he is any relation to Robert Goulet. I should have asked.

Bob and Jack led us off on the tenth tee and their tee balls went this way and that way. I teed off and followed right in their footsteps and dubbed my tee ball right in the hazard. Steady Steve put his ball right in the middle of the fairway. [Read more…]
