Three of the men’s and women’s leagues kicked off their seasons with their annual scramble tournaments at the Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club on Tuesday.

The women’s nine and 18-hole leagues hosted their joint scramble in the morning and the team of Judy Mantle, Sandie Boyer, Lucy Brookhouser and Sally Miller was tops with a 1-over 37.

One shot behind in second place with 38 were Carroll Baker, Gayle Tanner, Susan Horne and Barbara Hastings while Louise Robitaille, Marion MacIntyre, Penny Bannister and Nikki Jenkins finished third.

They were among three groups tied at 39 but came out ahead via retrogression.

At noon, the men’s Woofs league teed off and the foursome of Don Allen, Ron Planche, Rai Lauge and Bill Smethurst carded a 5-under 31 off the forward tees to take top honours.

Several groups were tied one shot back at 32 but through retrogression John Reynolds, Ian Adams, Todd Watson and Kevin MacLean were second. In third were Mark Harris, Randy Busbridge, Ted Baker and Mike Mott.

Blair Cribb was closest to the pin on #4.

Bad weather forced cancellation of the Thursday men’s league last week.
