The women lit it up in league competition this week at the Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club.
Suzanne Watson got things started by shooting a stellar 42 in one of the best rounds of the season in the Monday Business Women’s league.
Other winners were: Linda Todd was by far the closest to the pin in two on #9 — thanks to holing a birdie from the fairway, Wendy Edwards had the longest drive on #1, Sally Huck was closest to the 150 on #2, Chantal Warboys was closest to the pin on #4 and Sharon Allen sank the longest putt on #7.
On Tuesday, the nine-hole women’s league competed for the Joy Nelles Trophy, which is open to those with a handicap of 34.9 or higher.
Lucy Brookhouser’s net score of 34 earned her the trophy by retrogression. Catherine Novick was second, also with 34, followed by Ellen Smith and Charlotte Kainola at 38.
Other low gross scorers were: Deborah Williams (44) and Patty Garriock (47). Low net: Williams (31), Garriock (32) and Watson (33).
Williams also had the fewest putts (14), followed by Garriock and Brookhouser (15) and Watson (16).
Bonnie Lamourie sank the longest putt on #8 and Caroline Cochrane hit the longest drive on #3.
Williams rolled in a putt from off the green on #2 and Carole Matheson chipped in on #7.
In the 18-hole women’s league on Tuesday, Louise Robitaille was first, with 84, while Valerie Chubey carded a blistering 88. She also won low net with a total of 68.
Diana Dimmer and Ginny Green tied with 90 to round out the gross scoring. Green (70) and Maria Townley (71) had the second- and third-best net scores.
Ron Planche had the hot hand in the Thursday men’s league last week. His 39 won low gross, tied with Al Kavanagh.
In addition, Planche tied Don Stewart for low net (30), won net skins on holes 7 and 9, plus was closest to the pin on #9.
Other winners: Kavanagh made the longest putt on #2, Tom Luck hit the longest drive on #3 and Rick Janes was closest to the pin on #4.
James Grigjanis-Meusel’s birdie on #4 won a gross skin and Robert Yamamoto did the same on #8. Other net skins went to Ward Simpson (#4) and Doug Dineley (#8).
Nobody won the putting contest so this week’s prize will be $500.
On Tuesday, Stephen Fraser was top dog in the Woofs league, firing a 2-over 38.
Jason Crowley had low net (30.5) and Bob Lowe’s birdie three from about two feet away on the seventh hole earned the hidden hole prize. Rai Lauge was closest to the pin on #4.
