The ladies and the men's competition was played over 18 holes medal format and the juniors 18 holes Stableford format. Proceeds from the day would be donated to Tony's chosen charity Huntington's Disease. Thankfully Tony's hard work was rewarded with ideal conditions and 90-plus members enjoyed a great day.
During the day there were the customary nearest the pin and longest drive competitions,. Andy McKnight won the longest drive competition for the men and Mary Bennetts for the ladies.
