At last, having run down the 18th, the roving reporter retrieved his note book. With a late year swing through the letter 'L' in the alphabet (the next course being Leatherhead), the Order of Merit for the year reached its conclusion. With Macca well in front it needed a strong finish from the chasing pack. On a bright day, with the course in good condition, Macca held everyone off to reach the top slot, even though he didn't win the day. Some surprising scores in the mix, with a number of players resurrecting poor rounds with skill prizes that proved once again that, despite rumours to the contrary, they were still classed as golfers. The strongest man winner was delighted to win something, but not the prize he craved.
