In the Men's division, John Strelec shot a fantastic score of 69 to take the win. Ken Granger, in his return, finished runner-up with a nett 74. The run-down included Wilf Herweg (77), Nic Apruzzese, Barry Mortimer, David Woods, and John Oates (all with 78), John Wallace (79), and Pascal Neunreuther and Vic Feldman (81).

There were also several chip-ins: Penny Wardroper (2), Jenny Hounsell, Robyn Whitham, and Elaine Philpott.
The least putts title went to Robyn Whitham and Elaine Philpott, each with 32 for the ladies, while Ken Granger topped the men's list with 31.
Upcoming events:

Good luck to all competitors, and see you on the course!
