- The highest score of the weekend was R Jones’ money-winning 35. R Jones also had the highest score on Day 1 and the highest average with 28 points.

- The lowest score of the weekend was A Henderson’s bag o’ shite-securing 16 pointer on day 2. He also shared the lowest average score of the weekend of 20.3 points with V Holmes (bit of a fall from grace there).

- V Holmes managed the lowest personal high score of the weekend with 21 while J Lourtie managed the highest personal low score of the weekend with 24.

- J Stewart won what should now be renamed “The J Stewart par 3 award” for the third straight time to maintain a 100% record in this important showpiece competition with 21 points on the short holes (next best 19).

- M Noonan won the par 5 award with a massive 17 points, 5 clear of the next best.

- M Noonan also now holds the record for the highest average score in all rounds played with 25.3. This is not a good place to be in the eyes of the Handicap Committee. R Lee-Davey still holds the lowest average score in all rounds played with 19.6 and I for one would welcome him back to the group with open arms.

- V Holmes’ 9^th nearest the pin means he wins this prize 1 time in 3. If you think about that it is quite extraordinary.
