Even so, only 2 ladies completed all 18 holes out of a starting field of 10 – Lia Donath with a top score of 28 pts and Susan Smith with 22 pts. Well done to these ladies for braving the elements!

Winner of the medal was Gurpal Sekhon with an amazing 62 which was built on a firm outward nine of gross 39.
