Today 104 players took part in the Open Mixed sponsored by the Darra Motel which is owned by Gailes members Bev and Eric Prosser who provided great trophies for the lucky winners plus balls and pens for all players. Despite the inclement forecast and the early morning fog the weather behaved and most players stayed for lunch and presentations enjoying the convivial atmosphere in the club house after golf. Division 1 winners were Matthew and Eunice Kim, with runners up Jim Coogan and Bernie Pickering. Division 2 was won by Brian and Tricia Brown, and the runners up were Jan and John Conroy.

The Associates Club Championships were finalised today. The 36 hole match play Club Championship final was won convincingly by Jess Horton with runner up, Eunice Kim. Conditions were abysmal for the first 18 holes with constant light rain, and a few extra water hazards on the course, but Jess Horton was pleased to get some "wet weather" experience (or so she said!), and the standard of her golf was outstanding. The B Grade championship was won by Jan Stewart who defeated Vicki Jones, and Carol Montgomery defeated Judy Smith in the B Grade Flight while C Grade Champion is Elna Jensen. Congratulations to all the winners.

Incredibly, Nisbet won the championship after shooting a disappointing first round 80 (+7) placing him well off the pace after round one but bounced back with rounds of 65, 67, 71
