Huff and KanearHe first flight winners at Maitland On Ladies Night May 13th, 19 braved the weather. The winners in the first flight were Marie Huff and Verna Kane, with Ar- dith Brissette taking fewest number of putts. Second flight had Jean Bell and Marg Evans conning out on top, and Jean Knight sinking the putts. Third flight win- ners were Pat Tyndall, Lois McGill and Joyce Shack and Auleen Curry putts. Ladies were rained out the following week, as were the men on the 19th, but on Thursday the 22nd, 24 men played with Eb Ross having a low net of 31 and Al Mac- Donald and Q. Egener tied for low gross with 38's. Now we have a conundrum? On May 26, 48 men took to the fairways in sunny weather. Issy Bedard won with a net 29 and Al MacDonald 2nd with net 30. However, Tony Bedard turned in a gross score of 36 and two aforementioned gents both heat him on gross with a 33 and 35 respectively. Apparently the net scores were the prizewinners, but Issy and Al felt that they had to make it known (and Bob Shrier agreed), that they had actually beaten Tony on gross scores. Have you got that? Good Other winners that night were Jack , Pould, Dick McLean, Jack Hoff- ,, meyer, Bob McDougall, Q. Egener, Clive Caswell and Bill Hanly.
