Mountain Shadow

Always a difficult couse but made harder today with a stiff breeze. The greens seemed particularly difficult after the slow greens at Rayong CC and there were plenty of 3 putts (and more) going on. The course was quiet and the 3 ball in the front went round in near record time. Alan Sullivan and Colin Greig warmed up nicely for the John Preddy Memorial Tournament on Monday by winning the A and B Flights respectively, both with 35 Stableford points. Newcomer Chris Cox took the runner up place in the A Flight and Keith Smithson claimed third place beating Gerry Cooney on a count back. In the B Flight Heath Norris came second and Jo Vanderveggen beat Mike Corner on a count back to take the third place.

Results: 

A Flight:

1^st Alan Sullivan                      (hcp 13) 35 points

2^nd Chris Cox                            (hcp 10) 34 points

3^rd Keith Smithson                  (hcp 0) 32 points

B Flight:

1^st Colin Greig                             (hcp 14) 35 points

2^nd Heath Norris                       (hcp 28) 32 points

3^rd Joe Vandervegen               (hcp 19) 29 points

Mike - Winner at Rayong CC

Rayong CC

This was our second visit in recent months and the course improves each time. Friendly helpful staff and a green fee of 380 Baht, does it get any better? The course was quiet and all our groups were able to play their round at their own pace. The only criticism would be the slow greens but those will improve in the future. The cut was set at handicap 14 and, playing Stableford format, Mike Lloyd made a successful return to Thailand winning the A Flight in his first game back. Tony Robbins took the runner up spot and Gerry Cooney claimed third place a point behind. William Macey was surprised to find himself in the B Flight but it didn’t affect him as he came into the clubhouse with a big smile on his face and 42 points tucked under his belt to easily win by five points. Second place went to Steve Durey and Dave Day took third place a point further back.

Results:

A Flight:

1^st Mike Lloyd                            (hcp 12) 36 points

2^nd Tony Robbins                    (hcp 11) 34 points

3^rd Gerry Cooney                    (hcp 12) 33 points

B Flight:

1^st William Macey                   (hcp 15) 42 points

2^nd Steve Durey                       (hcp 20) 37 points
