Sunday 16.8. – Hymy Open once again delivered a great event

Eager players, tight competition, sunshine, rain and wind, delicious food and local drink, swinging music (Happy Groove) and fantastic prizes. All this was offered by yesterday's Hymy Open competition. And even though the weather gods were in a fickle mood yesterday, the players persistently played their rounds to the end, since waiting at the finish were the warmth of the sauna, Happy Groove's great music-making, and Metsäranta's delicious pork meal.

Thanks to all our partners, and especially to Hannu Salminen, for making this great event possible. Yesterday we also heard good news about the future of Hymy Open. Responsibility for running it will pass to Päivi Urmas in the coming summers! Wonderful that this great event gets to continue!

Now for those results.

The top five in the stableford series:

1. Sami Räsänen 40 bp

2. Simo Saari 38 bp

3. Mika Salminen 38 bp

4. Valtteri Ahtola 36 bp

5. Pasi Peltola 36 bp

The longest drive was hit by Valtteri Valtonen on hole 10, and closest to the pin on hole 2 was Olli Mäntylä (1.85 m). The best scratch result of the whole competition was made by Teemu Jokela with a score of 77 strokes.

All prize winners will be sent Loimijoki Golf gift cards by email.

This year WS Motors Oy donated an electric car for two weeks' use to whoever posted the best stroke play handicap score. The electric car goes to Sami Räsänen.

Thanks to everyone who took part in the event and congratulations to the winners. Next year we continue in the same spirit!

Greetings from the kitchen: today, Sunday, for lunch we're serving pulled pork burgers or a pulled pork plate (fried potatoes, pulled pork, salad, pickles, toasted bread).

WOW!
