Provincial Senior Triples 2018
In preparation for hosting the BC Provincial Senior Triples’ Tournament, Howie, Drew and Radka cut the greens, Derek painted the benches, Pat and Sue bought out Costco for the catering and prepped the night before, Jim readied himself for scorekeeping and convening, Maureen set up for selling meal tickets, and club president Myrle (who also umpired) welcomed everyone to what turned out to be a fantastic event.
WVLBC had three teams entered: John, Stuart and Gordon; Jack, Howie and Brian; Grethe, Taka and Olivia. It was tough on the second day when our two West Vancouver men’s teams had to play each other. John’s team and Grethe’s team made it to the quarter finals which is a huge achievement. Grethe, Taka and Olivia are pictured ready to play the team which eventually won gold. It was so good to see many existing friendships being renewed and many new friendships being formed. The group photo shows most of the men who made it to the second day, and one photo shows Lynn with her team which won silver!
As always there are some huge thank yous to be handed out. For starters, to all the Wednesday Greens Crew who work with Howie to make the greens and surrounding areas the best they can be and to Roberta’s fabulous gardeners. The amazing weather really helped our club to sparkle. More thank yous to Radka and Jack who keep the clubhouse spotless, to Pat who has lost count of how many fruit platters and breakfast plates she made up, not to mention potato salads, and to Jack for making the barbeque sauce. Judging by the empty plates and the kind comments, the food was much appreciated. Thank you also to Kathy for helping out with the 50:50, filling water containers etc. and to all the helpers who set up the greens every morning, helped changed the equipment around and put it all away – Don, Waldo, Derek, Bert (Tim’s father). Apologies if I’ve missed anyone! It was a LOT of work, and it was very hot; you are truly valued and appreciated.
