The event took place at the first hole of the Belmont Golf and Country Club on Sunday and although there were no holes-in-one, competition was tight with Phil Martin edging out Mike Shaw by half an inch for Division IV (men's open) and overall honours as his ball came to rest within one foot, six inches of the hole.

Among the seniors, Ed Johnson was most accurate. His tee shot ended up two feet, eight inches away from the cup, nine inches closer than runner-up Des Walker's drive.

Leading the way for the juniors was Craig Brown (two feet, nine inches) competing in the 13-17 year bracket. Twelve-year-old Quinton Sherlock, Jr.

(three feet, three inches) was also impressive in taking Division IB honours as was 10 and under competitor Eric West (three feet, 111 inches).

At last check the sponsorship was $12,755 and further donations toward prizes and golf balls to benefit the BJGA should push the overall total to $14,755.
