Another sunny day and the course was almost empty – does it get any better than this? The course was in good shape and there was no need for winter rules today although the greens were still a little bumpy and slow following the recent coring. Playing Stableford format Japanese golfers Homma and Mashi stole the show today. Homma, playing the last game of his holidays took everyone to the cleaners winning with a massive 43 points with his playing partner Mashi taking the runner up spot with an impressive 39 points. Frank Dante was pipped by Peter Habgood on a count back and had to settle for fourth place.
Results:
1st Mikito Homma (hcp 17) 43 points
2nd Mashi Kaneta (hcp 12) 39 points
