Quality Foods Men’s and Women’s Triples Results June 6 & 7

If there was a way to describe this past weekend’s  Quality Foods Men’s and Women’s Triples Tournament weather  in music, it would be  something like “Here Comes the Rain Again” and “Here Comes the Sun” by Annie Lennox and George Harrison respectively.  Fortunately, George’s line about “sun, sun, sun, here it comes,” was the theme for the majority of the two days of play.  Also, the greens were fast and hard, something normally experienced in about mid-July.  As a result, it made for some great shot making.

On the men’s side, it was the Nanaimo team of Chris Windess, Adrian Hewitt and Brian Howe taking first place.  Second went to Courtenay’s Dean Penny, Vern Greenhill and Henri Saucier.  The host Qualicum club team of Erik Ewen, Brian Michel and Charles MacIntyre took third, while Parksville’s Keith Terlson, Ken Bucyk and Christian Massey took home fourth place.

On the women’s side,  Courtenay’s April Gilchrist, Shelley Howieson, and Lynn Chwartacki of QBLBC  took home first place.  Parksville’s Kate Wilson, Carol Bucyk and Mary Card earned second place, edging out Sandi Mitchell, Merry Danarti and Diane Cruickshank, also of Parksville, who took third.   Rounding out the top four was the Nanaimo Team of Kathleen Sherry, Lezlie Howe and  Darlene Opecic /Ann Yewer.

Once again, a big thank you goes out to Quality Foods who continue to be a great sponsor for this event.  Also, thanks to the kitchen,  greens crew, bar people, scoring/games committee, umpires,  players  and spectators who came out to watch.
