Best ladies were Lia Donath and Kate Emanuel on 34 points – the former earning a sweep envelope.
With CSS computing to 34 (SSS 35), John’s handicap is cut by 2 – can he remain Top Dog leader?
Cognisant of the CONGU decision 2(c) to give sympathetic consideration for reasonable discontinuance of play, the organising Committee disregarded Toby Hunt’s card – though he was one of the 24 men’s NAPGC £2 entrants.
A promising card from Paul Doran (36 points) caught discerning eyes in the Handicap Secretary’s office and was promptly disqualified for signing for the wrong gross score on hole 17 (see attached scan) being an infraction of Rules 6-6d & 32-2 since the outcome affected the points awarded for the hole.

The clear winner by 3 shots was Darrin Siiankowski with a 65 from John Ritchie, Itsawat Mahdumwronkul, Johan Pieters, Matt Mandelbaum, John Cooper and Richard Owen. Kate Emanuel scored 66 but was DQ for omitting to sign her card. Accordingly, best placed lady was Alison Chadwick on 71. Results…
