The luck of the Irish might have been with Patrick Craig as he scorched the course with some booming tee shots and a stellar even-par round of 36 in the Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club’s men’s league last Thursday.
He also won closest to the pin on #9 with a great shot from the back tees.
Other winners: James Grigjanis-Meusel was second low gross by retrogression, with a 1-over 37, while Greg Fedoryn and Ken Willms were low net with 32.
Peter Chilibeck made the longest putt on #2, Quinton Spagnol outdrove everyone on #3 and Jim Rye was closest to the pin on #4.
Brock Sansom and Ted Wiens scored $95 net skins on #1 and #7 respectively, while birdies by Grigjanis-Meusel on #1 and Rai Lauge on #4 earned $55 gross skins.
No one won the weekly putting contest and the prize increases to $300 this week.
