Randy McCartney was crowned the winner of the annual Legends Cup at Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club last week.
The tourney, a cumulative score over three nine-hole rounds, is open to club members over 80 who compete for the Claret Jug championship trophy.
Organizer Bill Katrynuk noted the Legends Cup is a competition as well as showcase for longtime respected members of the club.
Besides the annual tournament winners, over the years several men have been officially inducted as “legends,” including Al Derbyshire and Doug Garrett (2014), Jim Brown (2023) and Harry Huizer and Katrynuk (2023).
In other golf action: Five women managed to Beat the Pro on the fourth hole during 18-hole women’s league play on Tuesday.
Martha Cruikshank, Gayle Tanner, May Chang, Sue Sherk and Judy Mantle were successful while Margot Richardson was closest to the pin on #9.
