Despite the extreme heat six players risked their health to play a par event. The reason that this report is late is because your correspondent could not imagine anybody being so foolish.
David “Jack” Webster & colourful local identity Philip “Thomo” Thomson at least had the sense to play early. This paid off for Jack but not for Thomo, Jack scored 2 up to win the day. Thomo on the other hand finished 5th with -4. Unfortunately for Thomo playing early does not make the course any shorter. Andy Phillips finished 2nd with plus 1 with a gap to Michael Tickner -2, Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel -3, then Thomo. One would normally think that having a cart would be a big advantage in the heat but Eddie “The Flying Dutchman” Van Keulen showed this is not necessarily the case taking the Mars Bar with -10.
