Hi everyone,

Thursday golf served up another lively chapter in our summer run, with the Choose Your Own Tees Stableford proving once again that giving players options off the tee usually leads to bold decisions, good stories, and plenty of points. Scoring was strong right across the board, and the leaderboard was stacked deep with red numbers.

Here’s how the day shook out.
