With heavy rain falling towards the end of the rst 9 holes, this was re-designated a 9 hole competition and for simplicity 25% of each pair’s combined handicaps used to decide placings. e format was clearly well liked as all nine pairs scored nett par or better. e winners were Phil Wright and Leslie Lloyd (nett 28.75), 2nd place were Pat Wickson and Sandy Thomas (nett 30.25) and 3rd place went to John Preston and Ann Spurrett (nett 31.75).
