Kingsville ladies league has interesting summer

By Rosalind Knight

Some interesting competition was had during the latter half of the golf season for the Kingsville 18-Hole Ladies League.

On August 24 the league held the Sectional Championships which meant they added together the gross scores for two games over two consecutive weeks. The following are the top two in each flight. Silver: Marlene Sinclair, 178; Wali Forster, 181. A Flight: Lucille Kraus, 195; Jean Page and Mary Jo Laforet, tied with 206; B Flight: Rosalind Knight, 200; Cindy Morel, 202. C Flight: Gwen Perry, 222; Kathy Soulliere, 230.

Low Putts and Beat the Pro were the games played on August 31. Alyssa Getty met each group as they arrived at #9 Red tee to challenge each golfer as they played this par 3 hole. Alyssa showed the group some spectacular shots and was most affable. Members appreciated her time with them as well as the treats/prizes awarded by Captain Fran Wasyliniuk. The outstanding putters were Becky Glidden with 30 putts; Janice Hillcoat and Lucille Kraus, 31; Maria Rocca, 32.

Field Day, held this year on September 7 on the Red and White courses, is traditionally a special event with some special prizes awarded. Congratulations to the following: low gross for the field, Marlene Sinclair and Sandy Hernandez, tied with 89 (also Silver low gross). Low net for the field, Maria Rocca, 67. Silver low net: Wali Forster, 76. A Flight: low gross, Jean Page, 99; low net, Lucille Kraus, 77. B Flight: low gross, Maureen Nefs, 100; low net, Becky Glidden and Rosalind Knight tied with 76. C Flight: low gross, Gwen Perry, 101; low net, Stephanie Lytwyniuk, 71. Closest to the line: Silver, Janice Hillcoat; A Flight, Jean Page; B Flight, Bev Miller; C Flight, Fran Wasyliniuk. Closest to the hole: Silver, Marlene Sinclair; A Flight, no one; B Flight, Cindy Morel; C Flight, Gwen Perry.

Finally, many of the ladies played in the 9-Hole Ladies Invitational on September 9. Their president Jane Hughes and tournament director Gwen Perry welcomed league members to their “Tee Party” (get it?). The incredible decorations on the table, walls, and even on the first tee were the creations of style maven Sandra Meredith, along with helpers Laurie Kovacs and Nadine Brimner. Thanks especially to Gwen for her organizational prowess and Sandra for her relentless attention to detail. Kingsville’s turn next year!
