Some very good scores were achieved, especially by the King Slayers and the Cousins, in windy conditions and some rain early in the day. It did become fine and quite warm later in the day. The Men of History showed the benefit of many years of experience remaining calm in the face of some ordeals that would seen most other teams unravel.

Mark “Mouldy” Millward won the competition comprehensively with a fine display of power and control to score 36 stableford points in cold windy conditions. As a comparison the best score from the rest of the field was 32 points. Mouldy’s score could have been a couple points better if not for some inexplicably missed short putts.
