Can't think who this was. Beat Martin Clark''s 141 (there may have been a joint one) as highest by an amateur, at the time.

I've found out that it was Geet Sethi in either 87, 88 or 89!!! Cannot find this in any of the magazines though.... Gary Hill made one in June 1989, equalling Sethi's record.

No report in 1987, though, in any magazine..!! Odd.
