Thompson Brown mixed open: Presented by Thompson Brown to commemorate his 1979 captaincy, this open competition always attracts a large field in spite of it being played so early in the season and this year was no exception.

The lack of winners failing to attend the presentation resulted in some unexpected prize winners.
