Claiming the major prize was Stuart Liddell (37) who was cruising along quite nicely after a sweet birdie on the fifth hole before a slight scare on the eighth hole where he recorded a dreaded 'wipe'. He quickly returned to his best and he recorded a very competent 20 points on the back nine holes with a birdie on the 17th hole. This gave him an impressive one under par on the four par-three holes.

Taking second overall was Rod Wilson (34) who overcame a nasty three putt on the 3rd hole which saw a 'wipe' recorded on the card. After that it was pretty comfortable scoring for the remainder of the round. It must be noted that Rod came close to matching Stuart's achievements on the par three holes as he recorded four pars.
MGC Ball winners were Stuart, Rod, Daniel, Barry, Ron, Luke, Adam, John, John, Anton, David, John, Mark, Nathan, Brian, Gary, Bob and Bob.
