Returning after nearly a two-year absence, it was David Hellsten who greeted the winner’s circle with his fine 39 stableford points, including a remarkable 25 points around the front nine. Runner up was Damien Lanyon on 37 points, who also picked up 3 nearest the pin prizes, plus a bonus prize for knocking his tee shot onto the difficult 1 st hole.
Rounding out the ball pool was Grant Tooth and Andrew Kane, with Kevin Linehan and Stuart Tweddle unlucky losers in the countback.
This week will be a stroke event on Sunday, with tee off from 11am.
