The weather forecast and conditions did not look favourable for the Par event sponsored by The Collie Golf Club Ladies.
With the early rain scaring off the morning players a field of 32 competed in the afternoon.
Kevin Ireland found the conditions to his liking with his long drives off the tee and astute short game, Kevin clinched the win with +2 edging out the unlucky Tony Barker-May on countback who also had +2.
Peter Coombs and Alan Kent both had +1 and Clayton Flynn, Kim Metcalfe, John Williamson, Ray Cooper, Graham Williams, Joe Italiano all played to their handicaps to return square.
The ladies, who do an enormous amount of work for the Golf Club, also put on extra novelties for the day.
