Scotty - Winner at Crystal Bay

Crystal Bay

Another dodgy looking day weatherwise when we set off but all turned out well and we had a rain free found. The course was more difficult than usual with long grass on the fairways and truly punishing rough due to the recent rains. Even without green fee vouchers the course offers good value for money at a little over 1000 Baht per round. The cut was set at handicap 14 and visiting Aussie “Scotty” Eaton who’s been working on his game at home, bringing his handicap down to three, won the A Flight with a two under par score. Gerry Cooney was runner up a shot behind and Gordon Melia edged out Tom Wilson on a count back to take third place. In the B Flight Roger Privett did enough to win with a level par round, Eddie Martin was second a shot behind and “Scotty’s” mate Andrew took third place on a count back from Paul Edgar.

Results:

 

A Flight:

1^st “Scotty” Eaton                     (hcp 3) nett 70

2^nd Gerry Cooney                     (hcp 11) nett 71

3^rd Gordon Melia                      (hcp 14) nett 75

B Flight:

1^st Roger Privett                       (hcp 15) nett 72

2^nd Eddie Martin                       (hcp 15) nett 73

3^rd Andrew                                  (hcp 20) nett 74

Near Pin Winners – Geoff Parker, Mark West, PJ and “Scotty”

Emerald

 

We teed off in the middle of a light drizzle which continued on and off during the round but didn’t affect a fine day’s golf! The course was in pretty good condition although the grass on the fairways was a little longer than we would have preferred.

So, playing Stableford format and with the temperature very suitable for a round of golf the Bunker Boy’s were off. Mashi, with 38 points took the winners podium with Terry Hamilton getting in the frame for the first time this season taking second place. Gordon Melia was in the money again coming in third and Frank Dante finished fourth a point behind.

 

Results:

1^st Mashi Kaneta                      (hcp 12) 38 points

2^nd Terry Hamilton                (hcp 14) 36 points

3^rd Gordon Melia                      (hcp 14) 34 points

4^th Frank Dante                        (hcp 13) 33 points

 

Near Pin Winners – Mashi, Terry Hamilton, Gene Plueger and Aussie “Ferdy”.

Bang Pra

We arrived at the course in the middle of a torrential downpour but 30 minutes later the rain stopped, the skies cleared and away we went.

After 3 holes it was hard to believe it had ever rained and we completed the round in near perfect conditions. Bang Pra since the recent renovations offers one of the best value for money venues in the area and will be one of the first fixtures on the Bunker’s schedule.

Geoff Parker made the most of the conditions winning with a very handy four under par, Gordon Melia had a level par round to come in second while Paul Smith playing off handicap 4 had a very good nett 73 and Mashi snuck into fourth place with a two over par round.

Results:

1^st Geoff Parker                        (hcp 17) nett 68

2^nd Gordon Melia                     (hcp 14) nett 72

3^rd Paul Smith                           (hcp 4) nett 73

4^th Mashi Kaneta                      (hcp 12) nett 74

Near pin winners – Gerry Cooney, Rab McDonald, Paul Smith and Frank Dante.
