The week that was
Ladies Club Championship
What started with an ominous prediction of a wet weekend turned into a hot, humid, and sunny event with just enough moisture to make it feel like we were playing in the rain! The 2026 Ladies Club Championship was a wonderful weekend of golf, competition, friendship, and laughter with a nerve-wracking finish!
Tracy Wightman and Barb Campbell finished tie after 36 holes, sending the As into an exciting three-hole playoff. Congratulations to Tracy on the championship and to Barb for making it such an exciting finish!
Class A: Winner (2026 Ladies Club Champion) Tracy Wightman; runner-up Barb Campbell
Class B: Winner Andrea Roy; runner-up Angie Macleod
Class C: Winner Cathy Leslie; runner-up Chantal Robichaud
A championship weekend takes a team, and we are grateful to everyone who helped make it such a success. A huge thank you to Chris Hart and his team for getting the course into great shape. Other than a few wet patches on the third that seemed determined to find everyone’s ball, the course was looking fantastic!
Thank you to Marilyn Wynn and Betty Brydon for taking on the brave job of posting all those scores and making sure the numbers told the truth — even when we might have preferred a little creative accounting!
Thank you to Judy Butler for marshalling the tournament, Elizabeth Boucher, our weekend starter, and to our Rules Committee — Duncan, Don Sutherland, and Tracy Wightman— for being ready to step in when needed. Happily, the rulebook did not need much use!
And a big thank you to Maureen Dubiel for organizing our post-tournament lunch. It was the perfect way to finish the weekend — good food, good company, and a chance to celebrate.
A special thank you to Barb Campbell, whose experience and knowledge of tournaments are invaluable. We are truly fortunate to have you! Congratulations to all our winners and runners-up, and a huge thank you to every woman who played. You helped make it a memorable weekend.
The photos are evidence that we really did have a great time… and conveniently, there are no photos of all the shots! Until next year!
- Dianne Vanstone, Ladies Captain

Volunteers of the Week
A big thank you to Stan Roy and Don Sutherland for once again leading the weekly Monday Junior lessons, sharing their years of wisdom about the sport and the course with our youngest golfers. They sacrificed much personal time and always showed great patience working with dozens of juniors throughout the summer right up to the season-ending Junior Club Championship.
