A pleasant day for the seniors today although the cold wind still persists! Twenty-five players competed in two mixed divisions. The competition was calculated as a "Reductions Only" event today, so no handicap adjustments were made.

In division 1, Allan Trotman was the winner with a nett 74. Derrick Perrin was runner-up on 76 closely followed by Geoff Denner just one shot further back. Raymond Bilton carded the lowest gross.
