The weather was perfect Tuesday when the Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club’s nine- and 18-hole women’s leagues hit the links to compete for the Hunter Cup.

The nine-hole net competition was won by Yolanda Henry, with a net score of 34, one shot ahead of Cathy Murray.

Four players were tied for third with even-par net scores of 36: Caroline Cochrane, Barbara Hastings, Tracey Peters and Linda Williams.

Hastings’ short game was on fire as she chipped in for two birdies, on #2 and #7.

In the Monday business women’s league, Carroll Baker was the top shooter, with a 47, to win low gross.

Erin Howe Hull bombed the longest drive on #1, Eileen Hanna was closest to the 150 marker on #2 and Arlyn Levy drained the longest putt on #7.

Closest to the pin sharpshooters were Jane Barnet on #4 and Laurie Gayadeen on #9, in two shots.

Don Allen was in fine form during the Tuesday Woofs men’s competition, carding a 1-over 37 to win low gross.

Jim Meszaros was low net winner with 33 and Ted Wiens won the hidden hole with his birdie on the par-5 third hole.

Mark Derbyshire knocked his tee shot closest to the pin on #4 and finished with a birdie.

During last Thursday’s men’s league play, Nick Elia was the man to beat, but no one was able to match his 2-under score of 34. Mike Sanders came closest, finishing second at 1-over 37.

Elia also won the low net prize with 30 while Quinton Spagnol was right behind with net 32.

Jim McMacken’s birdie 2 on the ninth hole earned him the only gross skin on the day, while Don Stewart cashed in big time with a net eagle on #3 for a $190 prize.

John Wienseis sank the longest putt on #2, Jared Mines had the longest drive on #3 and Meszaros was closest to the pin on #4. Derek Merza was closest on #9.
