Twenty-five members of the rejuvenated Wolfpack took to the fog-shrouded Crown Isle golf course on Oct. 18 to play in the 13th Lone Wolf Open. Sean “The Commish”
Sweeny ventured up from Victoria, Duncan “The Weasel” Gray flew in from Mexico, and Dean “The Skunk” Wanless hurried back from holidaying in Italy to take part in the fun.

Ian “Bubbles” Kennedy reluctantly accepted the “Sack O” award, emblematic of golfing ineptitude and lack of ability, from long-time prize awarder “ Mole” Meyers. In a special award, Neil “Badger” Havers received the not-so-coveted “Rude Swine of the Year” award. Following his acceptance speech he received a warm round of applause from the ‘Pack for organizing such a fine day of golfing fun and camaraderie.
