Kingsville 18-hole ladies golf league

By Rosalind Knight

The Kingsville 18-Hole Ladies League registered a ‘par-fect’ beginning to the golf season. Co-captains Jean Page and Shirley Jacuzzi have kept us organized, game-ready, even scrambling to submit the neatest, most accurate weekly scorecard.

The league is excited to welcome new members Ruth Assmann, Sue Brennan, Nancy De Cairos, Jane Hughes and Linda Weingust.

The most recent competition on the Gold/Red track was Net Better Ball on May 31 where we put our handicap dots on the card and recorded the best net score for each threesome or foursome.

The team with the lowest net score, a sizzling 61, consisted of Lucille Kraus, Sandy Duncan, Maureen Nefs and Patti Shackleton, all from the Purple Team. Honourable mention for their stellar individual net scores goes to Becky Glidden, 74; Lucille Kraus, 75; and Wali Forster and Shirley Jacuzzi tied with 77.

On May 24, we played White/Gold, Net Stableford. Handicap dots were again used, this time to allocate points for bogies, pars and birdies. Individual winners were Bernice Sawyer, 34 points; Stephanie Lytwyniuk, 33; Gwen Perry, 31; and Mary Jo Laforet, Maureen Nefs, Lucille Kraus all tied with 30 points each.

May 17 saw us play the frightening yet skills-promoting Tens Game. Golfers kept track of whether their drives landed in the fairway or not. A fairway drive garnered 10 points minus the number of putts made on that hole. An errant drive, however, cost the golfer points with the number of putts resulting in a negative score for that hole. The most consistently successful drivers that day were Bev Miller, 93 points; Ruth Assmann, 92; Lucille Kraus, 83; and Jean Page, 82.
