Miserably, rainy weather greeted the 1st round of the Championships but despite this hindrance some good golf was played.
In Division 1, Elizabeth Armstrong has taken a 1 shot lead over Pam Middlebrook, 92 to 93, with Shirley Dixon close behind on 97.
Pam leads the nett after a brilliant 71.
In Division 2, Shirley Walsh leads both the gross and nett after her 108/75.
In Division 3, it is very close with Lieve Stassen leading the pack on 119, closely followed by Kim Oborn and Sue Paul on 120 and Rose Sheath on 124.
Cheryl Smee leads the nett on 74 one ahead of Gloria Thompson.
Pam Middlebrook reports:
