Although the numbers able to attend this event were lower than in previous years, the event produced some memorable results. For the first time in the history of this event it was not possible to separate the scores of the two leading scorers and hence joint winners were declared, Mike Clyde and Nick Scrutton, both with 38 points.
Nick Scrutton, with a handicap of 1, had a round of 69 gross, one under the par for the course – the first time this feat has been done in the history of the competition. We congratulate him on such an excellent round. The leading results were:
