Peter Fraser had fun as reported below in photographs. Not only did he have an 8 on the 16th but 2 7'elsewhere. He hit a very long drive down the 16th to have to take 3 off the tee as he could not find his ball! He ended up with a 9 on that hole!

Colin Brown after hitting his drive of the 9th tee

Derek Lyon had a dreadful time on the 14th. His 7th shot ended up in a rabbit scrape in the right had bunker in front of the green. He managed to salvage a 9 though!!!

The start of looking for the drive of Peter Fraser on the 16th fairway. All players believed it to be in the middle of the fairway. However the ball could not be found so Peter had to go back and take 3 off the tee only for his ball to end up in the pond between the 16th and 17th!!
Below Colin and Alwyn wondering where the ball had gone!
