Junior Club Championship
The 2022 Junior Club Championship was held on this past Saturday at Mad River. It was an exciting day full of great golf shots and big smiles. This year the Junior Club Championship had 9 eager participants looking to play great golf and take home the trophies.
The winner for the Girls Club Championship was Olivia Kelk. This was Olivia’s first time playing in the Girls Club Championship as well as playing her first 18 hole round.
The winner of the 9 hole Club Championship was Quinn Burrison. This year Quinn has been working very hard on his game and that day it payed off.
The Boys Junior Club Champion was Reid Burrison. It all came down to a 3 man playoff where Reid won the title on the second playoff hole.
Below are some of the interviews Marshall conducted with the juniors prior to their round of golf.

A huge thank you to
Katie & Walt Macnee for hosting the
2022 Divorce Open. A record 82 participants played in
the event on Sunday, August 28th with all relationships
remaining intact as observed by the happy smiles and
enjoyment had at the reception following play.
Thank you to all who participated and a huge applause
for
Heather Johnston & Dean Elliott winners of the 2022 Divorce Open
with a score of net 61. Heather & Dean are looking forward
to convening the 2023 Divorce Open.
Well done Heather & Dean!
Liz & Michael Fitzhenry came in second at the
Divorce Open narrowly missing the opportunity to host
the event in 2023 with a net 63! Well done.

Hello Everyone,
Fabulous fundraising!! Mad River should be very proud for raising over $30,000 in support of Hospice Georgian Triangle. A record breaker! (Final count still to be tallied.) A big shout out and thank you to the men’s section for their support. Honourable mention and thank you to Walt Macnee, Tim MacDonald, and Tony Woodward for helping at the registration desk. They obviously survived playing in the Divorce Open this past Sunday!
Katie Macnee, Lisa Houston, Bonnie MacDonald & Cate Woodward did an amazing job, along with Sandy and our Mad River staff, to make this charity event a huge success. Although the weather man started out a little grumpy we were able to get our game in without incident. The golf gods shone on Katie, Lisa, Bonnie and Cate. They came in first and have the honour of hosting again next year. Question is - Will they accept the honour?

Mad Mens League
Gents, once again a huge thanks goes out to those of you that have attended and made the Wed game field much larger this year.
Having said that, I have to convey my apologies for the mixed messaging from myself and the Golf Genius emails you’re receiving. I said at the outset of this year’s league format that there would be some challenges as it relates to coordination and how the league will play out. As of late there has been some challenges and some mixed messages. I can assure you the Pro Shop is spending a great deal of time on it, however the Golf Genius Software can sometimes be the challenge. We are learning more and more about the software on a weekly basis, so thanks for your patience.
This off-season we can spend time fine-tuning everything so that we can properly communicate to all participants at the start of next year, without any changes during the season.
Thanks again for your ongoing participation.

We ended the month with 2 successful events: The Divorce Open and the Ladies Charity Event which everyone enjoyed. As the beautiful season of autumn falls upon us, we look forward to creating an exceptional President’s Cup and Madheim Cup experience. The menus look delicious.
We said good bye and good luck to our serving staff last week and are welcoming new ones. Please be sure to say hi and welcome them to the Mad River family. As we continue to find staff, Cupp’s Corner may not always have someone there to assist you so we have set up a sign out sheet for you to write down your member number if you take something like a Gatorade or sandwich so you do not have to wait.
FALL HOURS OF OPERATION:
Cupp’s Corner is open 30 min before the first tee time and will close at 6:00pm.
Kitchen is open from 10:00 am - 8:00 pm
*May close earlier as per Club policy
With Gratitude,
Michelle Larcher, Food & Beverage Manager

raffle tickets and mulligans at the ladies charity event.

And can these guys sell! Well over $2,000 was raised from raffle tickets alone!
A special shout out to Tim Macdonald who
came out in support of the event just two days

Thank You Tim for your support and get well soon.
