Scoring once again proved difficult due to the long rough and wet conditions, however, this did not deter the ladies from taking part.

The overall winner on the day with 38 points was Helen Cocks. Helen picked up not only the Lady President’s prize of a beautiful bracelet but also the Lady President’s Cup which was first presented in 1928 by Mrs J D Smyth.
