The early morning thunderstorm worried the group slightly but 61 golfers ventured to the Jack Nicklaus designed Mission Hills golf course. Located by the sea, it was a wonderful sight. The weather was better than yesterday and the use of buggies by all players allowed for more comfortable conditions.
Male players had some good scores but the day belonged to the ladies with Julie Walker recording 41 points and Louise Dodds 39. Both have now had a handicap adjustment.
Nearest to the pins went to Mike Doyle and Sally Elliott.
The last day of competition will be held at the Laguna Phuket Country Club on Saturday.
