 The Zone 15 Major Pairs was won by Avoca Beach's Les James and Peter Coombes in a very tight 2 shot win over Nick Tongue and Kyle Schwebel of Wyong in the final at Avoca Beach on Sunday 7th Match 2010. Les and Peter defeated the tournament favourites Pat Reynolds and Aron Sherriff by 3 shots in their semi-final. Also congratulations to Fred Dawson and Roy Thompson of Halekulani on winning the Senior Pairs over Umina's Steve Smith and Brian Burrows. However the win of the day was Ettalong's Michael Braham and Allan Quinn winning the President's Reserve Pairs over The Green's David Denniss and Warwick Becroft. As you will see below, Michael and the Mighty Quinn also won the President's Reserve Pairs. A win by either of them in the singles would be a grand slam which has never been done before.
