In total, a field of 34 players took the fairways of the links with the winning score returned by Derek Smith, who shot a very impressive 18 points.

The three clubs selected by Derek which proved to be positive on the day were an eight iron, a driver and a putter.

There will be an 18 holes Qualifying Stableford Sweep on offer this weekend, the competition to be played over Saturday, January 3rd and Sunday, January 4th.
