All eighteen holes were in play and the course was in remarkably good condition considering the dreadful weather over previous weeks. Having to take alternate strokes places great reliance on ones playing partner’s abilities, and some scores ended up being quite a bit higher than usual as people found themselves in rather less than ideal positions! However around a third of the teams did manage to nish with nett scores close to par. As well as winning the Gwyn Lloyd Cup with a better than par score of nett 67.5, Steve Duckett and Terry Gordon also managed to win nearest the pin in two on the 232 yard par 4 12th hole. Winners (left to right) Steve Duckett and Terry Gordon 1st Steve Duckett and Terry Gordon – nett 67.5, 2nd Dave Jones and Mike Fawcett – nett 68 (back 9=40 gross), 3rd Rob Young and Trevor Davies – nett 68 (back 9=46 gross), 4th Chris Hughes and Colin Bailey – nett 68.5.
