1980 King of the Point

In 1980 the King of the Point contest at Trigg Point featured a winner-takes-all prize of $1,000, making it an exciting and memorable event.

Unseeded ‘goofy footer’ Mike McAuliffe won the Open Mens division from Ken MacKenzie (State Mens Champion & runner up in the Margaret River Classic).

Young ‘Giant Killer’ Dave Macaulay (age 16) emerged victorious in the Junior division of the contest.
