With five pars and only one double bogey at the par 3 fifth hole, he competed the first nine, 2 under. The back nine was when he made the best of the scoring, with three magnificent birdies included in his net 26 to give him a total of 70, net 57.

Runner-up prize was taken by Christopher Maguire (18) with a gross 77, net 59. Christopher got off to a horrible start with double bogeys at the 2nd and 3rd holes but he steadied and made the turn at one under.

In the middle of the back nine he had a fantastic run of four pars and two birdies and was in with a great chance to take first prize but a double bogey on the last ruined his chances but was still good enough for second. Ian Jefferson (12) scored a birdie at the first and last in his round of 72 gross but hit a triple bogey in the middle.

Two under for the first nine and 4 under for the back nine with a total net 60. Craig Tiffen won Best Gross with a 70.

Nicholas Lavery won the Wednesday Hat with an unbelievable score of 45 points.
