Chris Voller, not protecting his handicap before the IPGC Club Championship later in the week, returned the best score of the day to win division 1 with 39 points.  Pete Sumner came in second on 35 and Dennis Scougall took third with 31.

On a week’s break from Khao Yai, Tim Hake topped division 2 with 35 points while the Irish boy Jerry McCarthy claimed second on 32 and Lindsay Phillips was third a further point behind.

Rod Howett returned after a short break to recover from a bad back and won division 3 with 33 points while Cliff Elliott finished second after beating Miss Nut on a 16/10 back-nine count back, both tied on 32 points each (there were tears in her eyes).

Tim Hake birdied E5 and Don Head S5 to split the ‘2’s pot in division 2 and Miss Nut’s tears disappeared.

Near pins went to (Div 1) Teddy Bourne, Ted Lodge and Jerry McCarthy, and (Div 2) Mike Fitzgerald, Don Head, Rod Howett and Rudiger Schaefer.
