In a rain-shortened event, the Saturday results were the deciding score, so those that went hard early were rewarded. In a close tussle, former champions Brent Lange and Darryl O'Keefe, from nearby Cootamundra Club, proved victorious with their day one score of 60, or -11 off the bat. This score was one shot better than another Cootamundra pairing of Paul and Mitchell Deep who, legend has it were -8 through 9 holes, but could only muster a further -2 on their next nine.
This year marked the fourth and final year of recent sponsors North Coast Holiday Parks. The country club, the golf and event committees wish to express their heartfelt thank you to former locals Ian and Kate Kinleyside and their management team at North Coast Holiday parks. Ian has been integral for trophies, prizes, cart organisation and support for the event.
