With the exception of a few, players found it hard going on John O’Gaunt course after all the rain of the last month. Hence the competition scratch score of 75! However, it must be said that the course is in excellent condition with the greens running true.
The winner was Ray Smart with a gross score of 84, net 71, which enabled him to win the Championship Trophy Cup for the best gross score and the Rex Cleaver Trophy Cup for the best net score. Very well done Ray! Second with a net 73 was Peter Lowe and third, net 74, was David Wrench. Good performances!
