Despite the high humidity, the course remained in excellent condition with superb fairways, challenging greens and a gentle breeze. The singles match was won by Darren Hancock, who beat Darren Strugnell 5&4, while the doubles match was won by Phil de Lacy and Robin Eastman, who defeated Charlie Jackson and John Simmons 2&1. Phil de Lacy and Peter Baldwin each scored an Eagle, earning them a spot in the \"Five Pointer\" club alongside Ian Merga. Richard Howard claimed victory in the Gold award with 34 points, while Peter Turbefield took the Silver with 36 points and a best score of the day. Lee Eastman finished third with 32 points. The nearest the pins winners included Guy Wade Palmer, Matt Lowe and Charlie Jackson. The Twos pot was shared among Charlie Jackson, Will Hammond and Matt Lowe. Mick Pryke added the \"McBride Bottle\" to the Captain's wine rack and Richard Howard won the football card with West Brom. The group is excited for their next game at La Finca in the Eclectic competition.",
