Despite a dire weather forecast, the final between Giles Fuchs and Will Donaldson was played in ideal conditions on the Blue at The Berkshire.

Richard Givan (1957 - 1961) writes: Will, who was giving his opponent no less than 10 strokes, shot out of the blocks by taking the first four holes including an outrageous eagle on the tricky 460 yard 3rd. Turning for home 5 down Giles, who uncharacteristically struggled to get to grips with the damp greens, fought back valiantly winning two holes but not enough to prevent Will taking the match 4 and 3.

Well done Will, for the third consecutive time but with 2 under gross for the round few amateurs could have bettered him and indeed it was a credit to Giles, who scored better than his 12 course handicap, that he held on for so long.

A great occasion !
