With reigning champ Carol O. unavailable to for selection, Greg Barbour,her former partner in victory, had to play solo amongst a quality field on this New Year's Day spectacular.

Despite a great performance by Greg, he ended a little too far behind the leaders on the last hole, where the Paula Shingler/Wiz pair took a shot lead into the hole but were stymied by a birdie from the Mark Shingler/Andy Simpson pair. Nelly Prosser and Simon George tapped out in par to take 3rd place, but the two Shingler teams had to go to a play-off hole to settle the title.

Both Mark and Paula threw short drives, Andy yanked his right whilst Wiz threw a baby-flex forehand that ended up only 6m from the basket. Mark/Andy combo threw their uip-shot to about 4m from the basket, so it all came down to the Paula/Wiz putt. Paula just missed, but Wiz sank the second putt to take the title and the smile off some people's faces.
