Gayle Tanner had the hot hand Tuesday, winning the Holmwood Trophy during competition in the Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club’s 18-hole women’s league.

Tanner carded a net score of 74 to finish three shots ahead of Yolanda Henry.

Other top net scores were Barbara Hastings (78), May Chang (79) and Carroll Baker (80).

Club champion Louise Robitaille took low gross honours with a score of 90, followed by Henry at 94 and Baker at 96.

Cathy Taylor won closest to the pin on #4 and Tracey Peters was closest in two shots on #7.

Marie Ellison led the putting parade, needing just 32, followed by Baker with 33 and Val Chubey, Carolyn Porter and Henry all with 36.

No birdies were recorded, though an aggressive red-winged blackbird was busy dive-bombing players as it protected its turf.

Suzanne Watson and Sharron Marlow led the way in the nine-hole women’s league. Watson’s gross score of 46 was tops, with Marlow close behind at 49. Sally Miller was third with 52.

Marlow’s net score of 34 was first, with Watson second at 36 and Penny Bannister third at 39.

No one won closest to the pin on #4 but Peggy Larder was closest to the line on #8.

Jim McMacken was top dog in the Tuesday men’s Woofs league, with a 4-over 40. Jim Garrett had low net with 34 and Randy Churchill’s birdie 2 on #9 won the hidden hole contest.

Harry Huizer was closest to the pin on #4 and finished with a birdie as well.

Patrick Craig was in fine form, firing an even-par 36 to earn top spot in last Thursday’s men’s league. He also scored second-lowest net, with 34, two behind Neville Da Silva’s 32.

Jared Mines had another solid round, winning second low gross with 39.

Ricky Watson sank the longest putt on #8, while Nick Elia bombed the longest drive on #1.

Closest to the pin shooters were Mike Clarke (#4) and Marty Nixon (#9).

Mines also cashed in big on the skins game, winning $60 gross skins for the only birdies recorded on #6 and #8, plus a net skin worth $35 on #6.

Mike Eagen scored a gross skin for his birdie on #3 while other net skins went to Stephen Jenkins (#1) and John Foreman (#5).
