tikay is dressing up a wooden spoon at this very moment.

Never mind that, your job is to bok the current leaders.

[MereNovice]

Bowdiitch double-bogeys the 5th to take him out of the points in Top Debutant.

[MereNovice]

Langer is -3 today after 2 holes to make a challenge for Top Senior.

[Karabiner]

Bowdiitch double-bogeys the 5th to take him out of the points in Top Debutant.

It was actually the par-3 4th that both he and Jaidee double-bogeyed which suggests that there might be a fiendish pin-placement there.
