Everyone was pleased that we were allocated the A and B courses and we selected the white tees to play off. It was another outrageously hot day with no breeze whatsoever and humidity very high.
Returning his best score for many years, William Chang won division 2 today with 46 points ahead of the still improving Roar Berger in second on 39. Burnie Sinclair took third place after beating Pepo Frick and Jimmy Johnson 21/17/17 on the back nine, all on 35 points.
In his last game with us before his return back to the UK, Pete Sumner stood atop the podium in division 1 with 38 points, beating Mika Viljakainen 20/15 on the back nine, while Chris Slota came in third with 33.
