On behalf of all the ladies of the league, Denise Tighe expressed a sincere thank you to the 2016 sponsors: Hurontel, MacG's, Meridian Credit Union, Matchett Financial Services, Dykeman's No Frills, Dairy Queen, and Ainsdale Golf Course.

The year-end awards for Stableford points winners in each flight were presented to Barb Grubb, Colette LePage, Jeanette Bellan, Marg Firth and Joanna Malott.
The Ace of Aces team trophy was awarded the to the team captained by Barb Grubb.

The winners were: A flight Kim Catto with 26 strokes improvement, B flight Wendy Gardner 29 strokes, C flight Barb McBride 29 strokes, D flight Shelley Pollock 32 strokes, E flight Joanna Malott 33 strokes improvement.
A few noteworthy items are: the most improved player in the league was Jeanette Bellan with a 10-point improvement on her index, Barb Grubb carded three birdies, Heather Struthers recorded four chip-ins, 18 ladies can say they did not put a single ball in the water all season, Marlene Morrow marked a stroke play score less than 100 for the first time this season.
There were two ladies who played every week, even through the steamy hot temperatures and the one and only rainy day.
Congratulations to all the winners!
