Welcome to Omnibits for Saturday, 3 August (Day 1)

9:30am

Round 1 has started! Judges Kate and Frank are getting to work, so look for scores soon.

2pm

Round 2 is complete in all events.

5pm

After a brief wind hold early this afternoon, judging has resumed in Round 4. Lots of white puffies about but no problems finding the holes among them.

When sun meets clouds

8pm

The day has been called with Round 6 roughly halfway done. Missed completing the meet by one or two short weatherholds! Still I thought the meet director did a terrific job working around the wx. No easy job, that.

We resume at 9am tomorrow ...
