After kicking things off with a cheerful social gathering filled with fresh fruit and sweet treats, members of the Niagara-on-the-Lake nine-hole women’s league wrapped up trophy play in style Tuesday — with a lively round of Bingo, Bango, Bongo.
Susan Horne was the top shooter with a total score of 38, followed by Judy Cardiff with 36 and Bonnie Lamourie with 33.
But the big winner was Ellen Smith, who sunk a 20-foot putt for par on #3, en route to carding a 47, her best score ever on the course.
The 18-hole women’s league also wrapped up its trophy competition Tuesday and Maria Townley scooped the Hunter Trophy by shooting her best round of the season.
Her net score of 65 earned Townley the Hunter Trophy and she also had the best gross score with an 87.
Her round included a chip in for birdie on the tough par-5 fifth hole.
Other top shooters were: Carroll Baker (90), Lisa Allen and Yolanda Henry (91) and Susan Gagne (93).
Other low net scores were: 69 – Cheryl Yamamoto and Gagne (69), Sharron Marlow (71) and Margot Richardson and May Chang (72).
Carolyn Porter was closest to the pin on #4 and sank her putt for a birdie. Other birdies on the day went to Henry (#5) and Baker (#7).
Next week is the league’s the final scramble for points toward the Vera Derbyshire Trophy, the award for golfer of the year.
Penny Green had the top gross score in the Monday business women’s league, with 42.
Other winners: Theresa Dyck (longest drive on #1), Gagne (closest to the 150 on #2), Tonie Mori (closest to the pin on #4), Mary Beccario (for sinking the longest putt on #7) and Baker (closest to the pin in two on #9).
Rain forced cancellation of the Thursday men’s league last week for the second week in a row, but the Tuesday Woofs league went off without a hitch.
Al Kavanagh’s 1-over 37 was the best gross score while Randy Busbridge was low net winner with 31.
Dan Regan won the hidden hole with a birdie on #8 and Bill Daly was closest to the pin on #4 and finished it off with a birdie.
