Verna Jackson was the recipient of the Maitland Trophy, an 18 hole handicap stroke play, with Della the runner-up. The Scotch two -ball match had also been decided previously because obviously, Della couldn't possible have played all these matches in one day. Della Bedard and Grace Neville won out over Mary -Anne Dempsey and Sue White. Last year Grace had donated a trophy for the Scotch two -ball, so this year she was co -recipient of her own trophy.

(DOW hosileutt) wins ladies' crown by one stroke A number of years ago, the 'Board of Directors were kind enough to donate a trophy to the Ladies' Section in honour of Mrs. Dolly Bruce. This is called the "Mrs. Geo. Bruce" trophy and is presented to the lady who has lowered her handicap most during the current golf season. Vern Frith was this year's winner, and she received an oil painting, painted and presented by Mrs. Bruce. Now, down off these heady heights of trophy winners to the ordinary golfers. First flight low gross winners were Della, Doris Paquette and Hazel Beaver, while net winners were Shelagh, Verna Jackson and Jean Knight. Second flight saw Janet Gemmill, Vern Frith and Jen Hanly take gross prizes, while Edna Looker, Chris Hoffmeyer and Bud Elliot earned net prizes. Third Flight had Carol Hunter, Bertha McGee and Joyce Shack win gross prizes and Marilyn James, Joanne Jasper and Catharine Walsh come in for net prizes. Verna /Cane, Joan MacDougall and Joanne McCallum were the best putters in the three flights. Gross prizes for the nine hole competition were taken by Marie Huff, Bess Smith and Betty Ferguson, while Lillian Kelly, Doris Harrison, and Kay Duncan were net prize winners. Putting in the nine hole competition was "won by Nonie Prizes for the Ringer Sheet which is based on the whole season's play were given out, and to no one's surprise Della was • the first flight winner with Verria Jackson, Carol Hunter and. Bereth Jessop winners for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th flights. The Putting Sheet is also based on the whole year's play and prizes for this were taken home by Doris Paquette, Bess Smith, Bertha McGee and Bereth Jessop. With the sun shining benignly down on us, the whole day went off beautifully, and Debbie and her girls had a lovely supper prepared for us. After supper and the prizegiving, we had fun, fun, fun! At great expense to the management, one of the leading gossip columnists gave us the low-down on the lady golfers, and the Maitland Mummers presented their version of "The Low Cow". Martina Schneiker presided at the piano, with percussion accompaniment of spoons, and we had a good old fashioned sing- song. There will be golf and lunch available on Tuesday nights as long as the weather stays decent, so don't pack up those clubs yet! One More Time! Don't forget Friday, Sept. 29 - music by Tony Nother.
