It was a perfect day for golf.

The town’s 22nd Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Classic was held last Thursday at the Royal Niagara Golf Club in Glendale, after a two-year pause due to pandemic restrictions.

This tournament, organized and led by a committee of town staff and residents, raises money for a parks and recreation community project, and in the past money raised has gone to Voices of Freedom Park,  St. Davids Pool.

This year, with fewer golfers registered than in the past, the money will go to the track and fitness area in the community centre for enhancements to replace various cardio equipment, repairs to the walking track, and a new coat of paint.

Brad Neudorf and Matt Hozack were two of the men’s winning foursome. With them on the golf course, but not at the dinner after the tournament, were Bryan Neufeld and Corey Fowler.
