Phillip “Tommo” Thomson was 7 up in Saturday’s par round after 15 holes and seemed set for a sensational score. Unfortunately an attack of nerves took hold and Phillip lost the next 2 holes. A nervous 4 foot put was holed for a half on the 18th which left Tommo with a 1 hole lead over playing partner Pat Hallion. Despite playing well Dick Cleland took the Mars Bar after suffering a great deal of jolly bad luck.
Pat Hallion starred in what was a high scoring day, scoring 42 stableford points to win by 3 points over Trevor Maxted, Andy Phillips & Tommo, who were all on 39. With exception of the Mars Bar recipient all scores were 30 or better.
