After bringing unseasonably wet weather with daily deluges of rain, Mother Nature finally relented this week and golfers hit the links in Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club league play.

On Tuesday morning, there was no wind off Lake Ontario and the sun was shining brightly, leading to a flock of birdies.

In competitive play, Ginny Green was declared the winner of the Hunter Cup, with a nine-hole net score of 33.

Barbara Hastings and Yolanda Henry matched her 33, but Green was declared the winner by retrogression.

In the day’s 18-hole league, Louise Robitaille continued her stellar play of late, carding a 7-over 79. She was followed by Martha Cruikshank (89) and Green (92).

Green’s 18-hole net was 70, followed by Cruikshank and Hastings with 73.

Henry was closest to the pin on #4. She, Cruikshank and Robitaille also had the fewest putts, with just 31 over 18 holes.

Birdies were recorded by Carroll Baker (#2), Cathy Murray (#3), Christine Earl (#4), Hastings (#7) and Robitaille (#10).

In the Tuesday morning nine-hole league, Julie Smethurst was low net with 34. Cathy Saytar also netted 34 and Catherine Novick was third with 37.

Heather Buchanan was the top shooter in the Monday Business Ladies league, with an 8-over 44 gross score.

Other winners were: Christine Merza (longest drive on #1), Sharon Allen (closest to the 150 marker), Penny Green (closest to the pin on #4), Janet Lamb (longest putt on #7) and Susan DiFruscio (closest to the pin in two on #9).

Jim Meszaros was top dog in the men’s Woofs league on Tuesday, shooting a 1-over 37. Neville da Silva was low net with 31 and Rob Chubey was closest to the pin on #4, where he carded a birdie.
