The hot dry weather we have been experiencing in the South Okanagan has certainly helped local golf courses attract players to its event nights.

That was certainly the case May 20, when a total of 56 golfers attended the NK’MIP Canyon Desert Golf Club Men’s Night. This was the first night of the club’s Major Sponsor Programme – last weeks sponsor was Raleigh Smith of Precision Glass.

In the First Flight, Tony Baptiste took the low gross with a 36, while Jim Shular has the low net with a 34 on a countback. The Second Flight Low Gross was won by Harry Bargen with a 36, and the low net went to Tom Schutz with a 32. In the Third Flight, the Low Gross was won by Chuck Builder and his 39, while the low net went to Max McLaren with his 33.

Multiple winners in the Skins competition were Chuck Builder with three and Sam Baptiste with two.
