Hide AdFour players finished with 41 points and it was their scores over the final four holes that decided the placings.
Jonathan Burns played these very tricky holes in 12 shots (3.3.3.3.) and that clinched first place.
David Cherry and Michael Robinson took 17 shots for the same stretch and poor Alan Dale, with victory in his grasp, slumped to 19 shots.
Those last four holes, which some members call the “Bear Trap”, will catch out many a player before the season is done.
