Twenty-three golfers then took part in the Molly Hamilton Rose Trophy, a competition contested since 1975. The winner here was M. Deans.

In mid-January, 32 ladies turned out for the Fifth Avenue, Stableford, competition. Monica Borain has sponsored this popular event since 1999.

Final placings: 1. A. Thompson 38; 2. K. Chopping 37; 3. Y. Cuschieri 36.

Meanwhile, another Stableford competition was played at Marsa. The winner in Division One was M. Borg with 39 points, ahead of J. Scicluna. Y. Galea, with 39 points, was top in Division Two.

The last competition of the month was 'Blind Hole' - a team competition.
