Day Four
The weather was less than kind and scoring on Day 4 was not good, with a big number of players returning scores 5 – 10 shots worse than previous rounds. Many were convinced that they had lost their way, they were out of it, no chance only to find that they were not alone and the scoring details for each division and category accessible from the .pdf links below will help tell the story.
