Sports: Sharpshooters earn prizes in NOTL golf leagues
Margot Richardson was one of the prize winners in women's 18-hole league play on Tuesday at NOTL Golf Club. FILE

There were prizes aplenty Tuesday as the Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club’s 18-hole women’s league competed for closest to the pin and longest drive.

Each proxy prize was worth $5 and Maria Townley grabbed two, closest to the hole on #4 and longest drive on #5.

Other sharpshooters were: Yolanda Henry (closest to the pin in two on #7), Margot Richardson (closest to Trevor on #11) and Lisa Allen (closest to the pin in two on #18).

Henry also had the best low gross score, with 88, one shot better than women’s club champ Louise Robitaille. Ginny Green was third with 94.

Christine Earl scooped the low net honour with 67, followed by Carolyn Porter (71) and Henry (73). Robitaille carded a birdie three on #1.

There were some tough pin placements but that didn’t deter Mary Powers, who needed just 32 putts over 18 holes. Richardson, Marie Ellison and Cathy Murray were next with 33 and Henry, Green and Allen were third best with 34.

In Tuesday’s nine-hole women’s league, Penny Green shot 47 to edge out Suzanne Watson, Lyn Sanders and Deborah Williams by a shot.

Low net winner was Julie Smethurst with 29, followed by Joan Maida (34), and Patty Garriock, Shelley Sansom, Suzanne Rate and Sanders all tie at 35.

Watson had the longest drive on #2, Green sank the longest putt on #5 and Sanders outdrove all others on #8.

Last Thursday weekly men’s league was rained out but the Tuesday Woofs league players basked in sunshine.

Glen Murray was top dog, shooting 1-over 37, two shots better than Gary Stuggins, Randy McCartney and Mike Mott, all at 39.

Joe Interisano won low net with 34 and birdies on #3 earned Brian Ridgeway and Jeff Jacques the hidden hole prize.
