Another spring/summer day with warm weather and an irritating little breeze to contend with. The course was in fine condition and there should have been a plethora of fine scores. But, it was not to be and tales of woe came from all quarters, even the low handicaps managed an 8 !! It was left to the mid handicappers to steal all the prizes.
There were four on net 68, seven on net 70 and five on net 71. Robert Anderson was out of the prizes on count back, Stewart Denny was third, Trevor Hazell was second and, somehow, Dave Gauge managed to pip them all to win.
The Bessant-East Scratch Trophy winner, with a score of 76, for the second year running was Phil White. With his third prize of the year he will be running out of rooms for his clocks !!!! Second was Martin Ives with 79 and there were four on 82.
