Khaow Kheow G.C.  Stableford

A good day today for those who normally find the Khaow Kheow course to be too demanding. We played the C and A nines and discovered that all the yellow tees on the C nine had been moved forward to the white tees, thereby removing the teeth from what is normally a very difficult track. The big hitters reveled in the shortened course and near perfect conditions, and scores reflected that. Peter Habgood hit the shot of the day on the par 5 eighth hole, sending his drive over the trees, and leaving a wedge shot into the green – easy game! Eddie Martin produced a superb performance to romp home with 45 points (normally unheard of at Khaow Kheow), closely followed by Tony Robbins with 41 points, and Peter Habgood finishing 3^rd with 38 points to virtually wrap up the Golfer of the Month title.

Results:

1^st   Eddie Martin                                  (hcp 17) 45 points

2^nd Tony Robbins                                 (hcp 14) 41 points

3^rd  Peter Habgood                               (hcp 17) 38 points

Near pin winners –  John Hughes, Mashi and Geoff Parker (2)

Phoenix G.C. Stableford

We arrived at Phoenix in good time, and were able to tee off early, which is a very rare event at this course. The weather was fine and the course was unusually quiet and in good condition, so the round progressed without any holdups. Given the good conditions, the scores were not as good as usual, with no golfer bettering their handicap. Mashi continued his good run of form to take first place, whilst Peter Habgood consolidated his lead in the Golfer of the Month competition by securing second place ahead of Roger Privett.

Results:

1^st   Mashi Kaneta                                (hcp 10) 35 points

2^nd  Peter Habgood                              (hcp 17) 33 points

3^rd  Roger Privett                                  (hcp 16) 32 points

Near pin winners –  Hai Sul, Reid, and Mashi (2)

Crystal Bay G.G. Medal

Good weather today, however the course was showing signs of damage due to recent heavy rain, so pick, clean and place was the order of the day. Most golfers struggled with the difficult conditions, but Geoff Parker and Takeshi were having their best rounds for quite some time. The wheels came off for Geoff on the 17^th hole, where he carded a 9, but still managed to record an excellent nett 69. Takeshi was superb on the par 3’s putting two tee shots to within twelve inches of the hole, and recording 3 twos in the round, something not seen very often in Bunker history.

Results:

1^st  Takeshi Hazo                                  (hcp 13) nett 67

2^nd Geoff Parker                                    (hcp 16) nett 69

3^rd Reid Sheffal                                     (hcp 0 )  nett 73

Near Pin Winners –  Geoff Parker, Reid Sheffall and Takeshi (2)
