In the Men’s event Teasdale turned the front nine in five over par, before finishing the back nine in only one over par, which included a fine birdie on the par 5 eleventh hole. In second place was Gary Thorne (7) who recorded 38 points ahead of Chris Waterson (7) who also returned 38 points after being one under the card after the first twelve holes.

Geoff Williams, Peter Wilson, Gary Hayes and Doug Ellwood completed the ball pool. The best round of the day was a five over par 76 by Gary Thorne and Chris Waterson.
