The golf group has been alternating again this year between Lakeview and Mount Nemo golf courses. John Spence, the golf coordinator this year has been managing the bookings at Lakeview while his assistant Garry Jenkins has managed the Mount Nemo bookings.
Both courses have been well attended this year, although Lakeview is still only a 9 hole course.
New golfers are always encouraged to join us. No need to worry about how good (or not) you are. We have fun and enjoy a day out on the golf course.

RIGHT: Bob Buckner finally receives the Gimme Award from Joe Reid awarded to him in 2019. He missed the banquet that year and then COVID
LEFT: Les Mayer was this close to a hole in one on the 17th hole at Mount Nemo recently. Naturally he missed thus avoiding having to pay for the first round.
Golf October 2022
Applewood Probus Golf Tournament - October 4, 2022
Mount Nemo Golf Course
The year ending golf tournament was held at mount nemo golf course on Tuesday, October 4, 2022. Twenty-four golfers played a round of golf on a bright sunny day. The tournament was best ball, as such the players were divided into teams and picked
the best shot as the spot to play the next ball. As expected, scores were very good; without naming teams, the scores ranged from 65 to 77, with most between 65 and 69. There’s always one outlier.
Lunch followed the game with a choice of beer or wine, sausage or hamburger and a green salad. dessert consisted of apple cbumble and baklava. After a very satisfying meal the prizes were awarded – not that anyone wanted to win anything – we were there for the fun and companionship.

Members play once per week , normally on a Tuesday, with Tee-Off times generally scheduled for a 9:30am start. The average number of players range from 4-6 foursomes. Players are rotated each week to different foursomes. Some members golf on a bi-weekly basis only, or only on a part time basis.
The mission statement for PROBUS Golf is as follows:
“If you can bend over and pick up a ball you are qualified for acceptance into the group. Hitting is secondary.”
