Our first visit here for some considerable time and everyone was looking forward to the game today. It was an enjoyable round with the course in a good condition but our only moan was the first three holes had the tees too far forward.

Leo Adam topped the podium in division 2 with 37 points, Kari Aarnio was second on 36 and Peter Davies placed third with 30 points.

Near pins went to (Div 1) Bob Comartin, Per Forsberg and Gareth Piccininn, and (Div 2) Kari Aarnio, John Carlin, Peter Davies and Paul Young.
