It was perfect weather for golf and Richard Owen finally managed to string a decent enough round together to win with a  score of 42 points – just a point clear of runner-up Paul Viertel on 41 points with Gary Dallyn third on 40 points. Liz Mellish was the best placed lady with 35 points.

The big news, however, was that Gary Dallyn sank enough birdie putts to win the Richard Clayton Birdie Ball Bag! One of those putts on 5/14th also secured him nearest the pin. The other pin on the 3/12th went to Jimmy Byun.golf_competition_report_307172_2017318_1053
