Brian Peoples (18) recorded his first ever win at Prehen in Thursday’s Open Stableford and that only a week after returning a card to the handicapper with 42 points, scored in a friendly game and with no obligation to report his score. He felt that his game was better than his then handicap and he duly lost two strokes. Completely undeterred he romped around the course to score 40 points and lost another shot off his handicap into the bargain. A break of tie was needed to separate second and third place with Michael McCullough (14) of mixed foursomes fame taking the second spot over Ballybofey and Stranorlar’s member Alex Heywood (12). Graham Hepburn (6) received a pleasant surprise when he won the best gross on 77 strokes.
