Colin and Pete retain title. Monica so close to making history.

Colin Allsop (handicap 8) and Pete Skidmore (9) from Old Thorne GC, Hampshire became the first pair to retain the title of the prestigious Costa del Sol Masters in Spain. Although the defending champions, they were not expected to retain as neither players were in form heading for the finals.
In the final on the fourth day of the Champion of Champions week, they took on Carl Greenwood (Knights Grange GC/5) and David Ashton (Pleasington GC/8) and in a very close match, Colin's 20-foot putt on the 18th green was the deciding factor. Both pairs played extremely well and their bette-ball scores were under par gross!

Monica Pinfold (Tytherington GC/14) came very close to making history by winning our first ever Champion of Champions individual matchplay tournament, a tournament open to past Champions and Finalists The Lancashire lass had a 6-foot putt on the 18th to beat the 2005 Champion Stuart Crawford (Farnham Park GC/5) from Berkshire but the ball stopped a fraction short. Stuart then birdied the second extra hole to win the title.

Dean Abeal (handicap 6) and Matt Ellis (9) both from Ladbrook Park GC won the National Scramble finals in a fierce battle against fellow West Midlanders Ian West (Oakridge GC/12) and Roger Moran (Warwickshire GC/9). The pre-tournament favourites Steve Hinkler (14) and Martin Hunt (23) from Tinsley Park GC in South Yorkshire had to settle for third place, with past finalists David (6) & Hilary (14) MacKenzie from Castle Eden GC in Co. Durham finishing a close fourth.
