Welcome to Omnibits for Saturday, 3 August (Day 1) 9:30amRound 1 has started! Judges Kate and Frank are getting to work, so look for scores soon.

5pmAfter
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.
8pmThe
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 ...
