Sports: Planche is big winner in men’s golf kickoff

Ron Planche was the big winner as men's league play resumed at the Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club last week.

Planche tied for first with Johnson Hu and Steven Levy, accruing 21 points each under the modified Stableford scoring format.

A birdie on the fifth hole proved very valuable as it won Planche a $43 gross skin and a $66 net skin.

Other gross skins went to Ted Wiens (#1) and Michel Trudeau (#2). Net skins were won by Trudeau (#2) and Stu Young (#8).

Reigning men's club champion James Grigjanis-Meusel lit up the field with a low gross score of 3-under 33. He also was closest to the hole on #9. Rob Haylor won closest to the pin on #4.

WOMEN'S LEAGUE: The foursome of Susan Gagne, Patty Garriock, Sue Sherk and Janice White earned the best team score with a 93 in the 18-hole ladies league kickoff.

The special “Pink Ball” contest was won by Ginny Green, Lisa Allen, Carolyn Porter and Mary Powers.
