The course was in fine shape but as we were about to putt on B6 there was a commotion behind the green and lo and behold 8 monkeys converged on my golf cart before being promptly chased away by the caddies.

Back in the clubhouse, after a round of 4 hours and 15 minutes, welcomes went out to Peter Hammond, Maurice Herberg, Laurina Brinn, Jorn Finnerup, and Susan and Svend Gaarde.  We also bid farewell to Steen Habersaat who is heading back to Denmark.

Two flights today with the cut at handicap 20 and a full monty of pins and Mike Allidi won the A flight with a fine 38 points, two ahead of Michele Sancillo in second while Maurice Herberg filled third spot and Kenneth Madsen claimed fourth on count back over Peter Bygballe, Silvano Pizzato, Jan Lovgreen and Richard Kubicki, all on 33 points.

Carole Kubicki topped the B flight with a fine 38 points and Peter Hammond was second with 35.  Dave Richardson one point behind in third and the final spot on the podium was taken by Steen Habersaat.

Crystal Bay was the challenge on Thursday and we found the course to be in good condition although with slowish greens and the grain running every which-way.

Two flights again today with the cut at handicap 20 and 6 technical prizes to shoot for.

Maurice Herberg ran away with the A flight with a fine 41points while Richard Kubicki took second spot on a count back from Michele Sancillo.  Ulf Larsson finished fourth with 33 points and Kenneth Madsen fifth with 32.

Mike Coghlan took the B flight honours with 38 points and Susanne Gaarde claimed the silver on a count back over Graham Buckingham, both with 35 points.  Kurt Sandgaard and Svende Gaarde completed the podium.
