Fifty ladies played an 18-hole competition in a waltz format.

The winning team scoring 57 points were Mary Collier, Julie Newman and Pat Hird.

Then 47 played an 18-hole stableford with reduced handicaps which combined with the blustery, spring conditions made scoring a challenge.

The divisional winners were Silver Jan Ledbury on countback with 28 points, Bronze Julie Newman 32 and Copper Jean Hilton with 28.
