A Tennessee Waltz was the competition for the day, and a par score of 54 points would be a creditable points tally. However, there is always one team playing where everything clicks on the day and an impressive score of 64 points were amassed by Steve Ball, Kevin Gould and the ever-improving Rob Porter. A result warmly applauded by an incredulous audience.
