Well, the 2023 LPGA Amateurs Ontario Trillium Challenge Event is in the bag for this year! We had a beautiful day for it (the 2 sprinkles don't even count as rain) at Flamborough Hills Golf Club.  27 holes in 3 different formats was the Challenge - a Scramble on the Woods course, Alternate Shot on the Lakes course and Better Ball on the Hills course.  It did make for a long round, but what with the good weather and beautiful course there wasn't any complaints. 

The Players Gift was a Know Your Distance Yardage Bag Tag, a Mini Moscow Mule Mug (say that 4 times fast!) and a can of Ginger Beer and lime at the start of the Lakes course.

Low Net Winners over all 3 formats:

1st - Barbara Van Sickle from Hamilton Burlington and her guest, Nancy Chow (score of 99)

2nd - Michele Walma from Barrie Area Chapter and June Layden from Waterloo Chapter (score of 103)
