The monthly IGA Day Men’s Triples went to Eric Heads, Dennis Luck and Bob Hart with 2+22. Adrian Blyth, Boyd Campbell and Lance Lamond were runners up with 2+7 and the single game winners were Jon Harrod, Kevin Cox and John Snelling with 1+8.

Next month’s IGA Day will be played as Men’s Fours as the top green will be out of play due to maintenance.
