The men’s WOOFs league competed in steamy, humid conditions Tuesday, with Jim McMacken and Falconer leading the way with 3-over scores of 39. Harry Huizer had low net.

Falconer was again closest to the pin on #4 and Jim Meszaros’ birdie on #9 won the hidden hole prize. Kamal Uyar won the 50/50 draw.

Louise Robitaille’s 82 was the low round of the day in 18-hole women’s league play Tuesday morning. Others were: Yolanda Henry and Martha Cruikshank (89), and Valerie Chubey and Ginny Green (92).

May Chang won low net with 71, followed by Chubey and Green (73), and Christine Earl and Lorraine Busbridge (74).
