Non-golfers enjoyed a day in Hoi An, lunching in a local restaurant and seeing the sights. Shopping was also a perogative and many will be going back to make further purchases. Tomorrow they go to Mei Son with lunch to follow.
Tuesday was a fine and warm day, first a land breeze and then a sea breeze. Scores were better and Josephine Magill from Australia had 40 points and a handicap adjustment. Only the ladies NTP was claimed.Tonight is the Hoi An “Moon” festival with dragon dancing, lighted balloons and festival activities.
Wednesday – the last day. Golf had taken its toll and 3 players withdrew! Scores were once again fairly high and NTP were placed on all par 3 holes with only 3 being claimed. Alex Asciukiewicz on 5 and Josie Magill on 2 and 14.
Farewell dinner is poolside tonight and guests leave tomorrow for Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi and Siem Reap. Full results are shown above.
Brian Lassen, WAGA.
