MICHAEL MORGAN, after a rash of 2nd places, notched up his second win in 5 months.  Well played Michael.

PRESIDENT NEIL won his 3rd take away since turning his first divot with Lizards 2 years ago.

GERRY MANDERSON found his own way back to the pay window - having been there the previous month.

THE DONORS new prize for nearest the pin, second shot, on the 252m 7th, with glassy green sloping away from the player, was a bit rich for the 19 and overs - but the more practiced Jim Small nailed it.  Brilliant shot Jim.


FINES, some were:

Garry Bird LM   Taking home a 26oz boxed rock instead of his White Heather trophy.

Allan Hight   Having more waggles than Sergio Garcia when addressing the ball.

Wal Hill   Being Assistant Caterer and complaining about the food.

Hart Schwarz   When asked why he brought so much ham for the lunches replied "Because it is raining"

Dennis & Gary Castle   When asked why they were wearing identical rain jackets replied "In case we mix them up"
