Len Graphics Men's Turkey Spiel
The Turkey Spiel was held Saturday, Dec. 3rd. Once again we'd like to thank Chris and Len Graphics for sponsoring the event! This year was special as we had a Junior team from Korea come and play. The young men are part of their National program and were here in Ontario doing some training. It appeared that their training is working as they won the entire event - going a perfect 3-0. Doug White's team gave them quite a run for the money in their second game as it came down to a draw on the last rock to capture victory. Congratulations to Jeongmin (Jack) Kim, Jinyeong (Jang) Jang, San (Daniel) Kim, Woorammiroo (Willie) Kim and Minguk (Min) Seo. Our team of Barry Acton, Howard Harper, Randy Grant and Jim Markel were the other 3 game winner. Great job! Thanks to Mike Smith, Glen McClymont and their fabulous crew for once again putting on such a great event! We'd also like to thank the large contingent (7 teams!) that came up from Tam Heather Club. The full results can be viewed here.
