"Unfortunately, though, some of us will be feeling the effects for several days to come." The golfers were Robert Aziz, Darryl Budd, Terry Budd, Adrian Coote, Bruce Etherington, Doug Ferguson, Alan Flewelling, John Ford, Dick Freeborough, Peter Gutelius, Fred Henderson, Tom Hierlihy, Bud Johnson, Peter Kosmack, Dwight Lacey, Gary MacDonald, Amanda Maltby, Andrew Martin, Jim Morrison, Don Pangman, Rob Sanders, Andrew Sipes, Bill Smith, John Tabet and Greg Taylor.
