Khaow Kheow 

The Bunker Boy’s are always treated well by the Khaow Kheow staff and today was no exception. We played ‘C’ course first which was almost empty although the other ‘nines’ were busy. Fairways and greens were in excellent condition but the course was even more difficult than ever with a strong wind causing problems. There were two flights today and Reg Smart had a good day apart from a ‘blob’ on the par five 17th but still did enough to win the B Flight with 35 points. Geoff Parker was in the frame again taking second place ahead of PJ who was a surprised third with only 29 points! The best round of the day considering the conditions was played by Frank Dante who scored a magnificent 38 points to win the A Flight. Runner up spot went to Hai Sul Chung on his first day back from Korea and Geoff Cox took third place four points behind.

Results: 

A Flight:

 1st Frank Dante                       (hcp 12) 38 points

2nd Hai Sul Chung                   (hcp 12) 34 points

3rd Geoff Cox                            (hcp 14) 30 points


B Flight:

1st Reg Smart                            (hcp 25) 35 Points

2nd Geoff Parker                      (hcp 15) 33 points

3rd PJ Redmond                      (hcp 16) 29 points

 Near Pin Winners – Gordon Melia, Mike Corner and Geoff Cox took te other two.

The last time we visited this course we had torrential rain but today it was perfect and we had the course virtually to ourselves. Count backs were required again today with Gordon Melia beating Tony Scambler to take fourth place. Gordon’s wife Marion beat Geoff Hart on a count back to take runner up spot but there wasn’t any doubt about the winner, Tony Robbins winning by four clear shots.

2nd Marion Melia                     (hcp 17) nett 77

Emerald

 Unusually there was a low turn out for the Emerald but what a round of golf we had! The course was in great condition and empty so the golfer’s made the most of it! Three players scored 40 points, one being Paul Smith whose round included six birdies and an eagle but he could only finish third after a count back. Another who tied with 40 points but finished runner up after a count back was October’s golfer of the month Geoff Parker – …………and his round included a hole in one at the 131 yard par three 15th hole!  The winner, who scored 22 points on the back nine and that included a “blob” on the par four 12th was Eddie Martin!!!

Results:

 1st Eddie Martin                      (hcp 15) 40 points

2nd Geoff Parker                      (hcp 16) 40 points

3rd Paul Smith                          (hcp 4) 40 points

 Near pin winners – Paul Smith, Gerry Cooney, Geoff Hart and, of course, Geoff Parker!
