If you want to win the Men’s Open at Nk’Mip Canyon Desert Golf Course, you’ll have to beat Larry Yamaguchi first. The Oliver golfer recently won this year’s two-day tournament with a score of 149, edging out Grant Oben from Kelowna. Yamaguchi recorded rounds of 74 and 75 to beat Oben by a mere two shots over 36 holes. Guy Deschatelets, also from Oliver, was the men’s net champion with a score

Oliver Curling Centre offers flexible scheduling for men and women Murray Soder Special to the Chronicle
This year a Monday night corporate curling league will become a reality along with regular evening leagues. The ladies have been planning to make their Tuesday night league the usual fun night out with maybe a few new wrinkles thrown in. Wednesday night is set to be another great night where the men and ladies combine to do some unusual things on the sheets. On Thursday night the men will continue to muddle through. What lacks in organization somehow always ends up with lots of good competition, camaraderie and even a few libations. For the 2011-12 season, the Oliver Curling Centre is providing flexible options for those who, due to work commitments or other reasons, find it difficult to commit to curl
on a weekly basis. Thought about curling, but do shift work? The Oliver Curling Centre is encouraging up to eight-person teams so that shift workers and others can participate by alternating weeks with another person. Babysitting a problem? Join up with another couple or couples. On alternate weeks one couple curls and the other couple babysits either at home or at the centre. Children in school? Think about joining our super friendly day league. You can curl and still be home when school is out – the best of both worlds. Going south for part of the winter? Our day league has been split into three sessions. You can curl for seven or 14 weeks, then go south, and if it works out you can curl the final seven weeks of the season when you return. Visiting snowbirds here to escape the frigid east or north can come without fear of missing out on the curling season back home. A social is planned for September 23.
