Some of the Veterans were absent, having travelled to Grenfell to play in a veterans' district competition.
Les PINKERTON was the clear winner with 22 points followed by Rod HAUG with 20 points.
We should acknowledge that Peter KIRWAN, our many times Cowra Golf Club champion, has just qualified as a veteran and is in third place off a plus handicap of three and he will be off a plus-six handicap for his next event.
There were nine prize winners, who are listed with their Stableford score, and the handicap they played off in brackets.
