It was a particularly stern test of golf off the blue markers despite the preferred lie option to account for the somewhat soggy ground underfoot after the recent deluge that was Cyclone Debby. The unmown rough was especially difficult to negotiate under the conditions.

However, Graham Shoebridge shook free of the pack to win the overall best net and the C Grade Medal with a 69 on a count-back from Mal Ewing who was the runner up and the B Grade Medal winner. B Grade runner-up was Paul Viertel with a 71 and the C Grade runner-up was Dennis Brown, also with a 71.

Garth Bailo was our A Grade winner also with a net 69 while Jan Johnston got runner-up with a 71 on a count-back from Mike Finley. Tom Kennedy won “The Maleny Mug” with a 69 with John Hay the runner-up on 77.

The pins went to Greg Chile-Freeman on the 3rd and Jan Johnston on the 5th.
