History
Western Australian Terry Gale had much success at the event, winning it in 1979 and finishing runner-up two years later.[1][2] The professional Ray Hore also had much success at the event, posting one win and two runner-ups.[3][1][4]
Among the most notable performances was in 1981. Royal Fremantle amateur Glenn Carbon, playing at a 2 handicap, holed a 50 metre pitch at the last for an eagle to defeat Terry Gale by a stroke.[2]
