Midland, ON – Marion Reid (The Links at Dover Coast) wins the 2022 Ontario Senior Women’s Championship after three days of fantastic golf at Midland Golf and Country Club. Reid led the field after each round and finished the tournament in dominant fashion with a whopping 12 shot lead.
“I really enjoyed being on the field with the ladies. Senior golf is about encouraging others to play better, and that’s what the ladies did for me this week,” Reid said when asked about winning the senior women’s title.
Kathie Houghton (Georgian Bay Club) also played some great golf this week as she would take home the Silver Medal while Sandy Byckowski (Brampton Golf Club Ltd) would take the Bronze Medal in the Stroke Play Gross Championship.
A bit of excitement for the host club today as Kim Dubeau (Midland Golf & Country Club) rightfully earned the A-Flight Championship title due to his consistent play throughout the week. Dubeau finished the week 7 shots ahead of the rest of the A-Flight field, including the lowest score of the week (79) for the division.
