The twenty-second season of the Sydkusten Trophy Circuit culminated on April 8 at El Paraíso Golf in Costa del Sol. It was not the most desirable weather for the final, but the incessant rain did not tarnish a final with many lights. The participants at the Estepona golf course appreciated a course in excellent condition and also enjoyed an exquisite lunch at the Club House. It so happened that the best player of the whole season in category A, Olle Wahlström, was 75 years old on the same day. For this last tournament of the season, the European Tour player Peter Gustafsson was present.
The prize winners in the Group A final (hcp. 0-18.5) were as follows: 1) Laima Drazdauskiene, slope 19 – 35 points, 2) Ulf Sallnäs, slope 7 – 34 points, 3) Roger Johansson, slope 16 – 33 points, 4) Jan Sallnäs, slope 11 – 32 points, and 5) Björn Einarsson, slope 19 – 31 points.
