However, at midday, with the weather much improved and club manager Adrian opened the course and so the Walker Cup competition could be played.

The winners of the Walker Cup were Sue and Paul Ritchie with an excellent score of 41 points.

There were a brace of twos, scored by Sue and Paul Ritchie and Jan and John Dickinson.
