Long-standing ladies league honours founding member

LEAMINGTON — One of the original members of the former Heinz Ladies Golf League, Barb Hoflick, was honoured at the league’s annual wind-up banquet at the Clubhouse at Erie Shores recently.

The league, now known as the Reid Funeral Home Ladies Golf League, wrapped up its 45th season with the banquet on September 28.

Hoflick was honoured for her 45 years of commitment to the league, with a lovely floral arrangement donated by Oak Farms Outlet.

The league’s season began on June 15, which was a delayed start this year, due to COVID restrictions. Weather was favourable most Monday afternoons, with some days being extremely hot. The ladies celebrated the end of their golf season at the restaurant, happy to socialize as a group.

After a request by one of the league members, the executive decided to permit ladies to hit from the yellow tees or the red tees this season and will continue this pattern. To start from the red tees, specific criteria such as age, handicap or medical concerns, needed to be met. The change in tees made the game more enjoyable for the group.

The winning golfers who played from the yellow tees were Carolyn Kelly (low gross), Muriel Davy (low net), Mary Hyrnewich (low putts), and Hedy Henke-Warner (most improved).

From the red tees, the awards went to Mary Ann Sherman (low gross), Ann Ginter (low net) and Bev Brown (low putts).

The group is looking forward to starting their next season on time in the spring and hoping things will be back to normal.
