Pattana G.C.  Stableford

A welcome return to Pattana after several month’s hiatus caused by disagreements over pricing during the previous high season. Following heavy overnight rain, the course was soggy in places, but the weather on the day was fine and relatively cool. We played the A and B nines and the lack of roll made some of the holes play very long, with some of the higher handicap players struggling to reach the greens in regulation. Only Geoff Parker managed to better his handicap on the day to take first place. Second place was Eddie Martin, with the ever consistent Mashi coming third, although the rumour is that Mashi lost out on the “bits”, for the second game running to Geoff, a severe disruption to his regular golf income.

Results:

1^st  Geoff Parker                                   (hcp 16) 38 points

2^nd Eddie Martin                                   (hcp 15) 35 points

3^rd  Mashi Kaneta                                 (hcp   9) 34 points

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

Emerald G.C. Medal

A smaller group of golfers than usual made the trip to Bang Chang, to find the course in good condition and the weather perfect. Colin Greig was the star of the day, recording his best ever round in Thailand, and impressive it was too. With a gross score of 76 (9 under handicap) he was unbeatable. His round included 8 consecutive pars on the back nine, and he just missed out on the 18^th when his putt lipped out of the hole. Well done Colin, and I don’t think we’ll be seeing you playing off a 13 handicap again in the near future ! Geoff Parker finished second, 11 points behind Colin and beating PJ on a countback.   

Results:

1^st   Colin Greig                                    (hcp 13) 45 points

2^nd  Geoff Parker                                  (hcp 16) 34 points

3^rd   PJ Redmond                                  (hcp 19) 34 points

Near pin winners –   Geoff Parker and Colin Greig(3)

Mountain Shadow G.C. Stableford

We arrived at the course to find it empty and in surprisingly good condition, with the fairways even appearing a little on the dry side. Always a difficult test, the greens were in good shape, but variable in speed, with 3 putts being the order of the day, and Gerry even recording a 5 putt ! When asked how he managed that, he replied that he sank a 6 footer ! Takeshi continued his recent run of good form to take the honours with an impressive 38 points, ahead of Colin Greig, Geoff Cox, and newly crowned Golfer of the Month Peter Habgood.

Results:

1^st  Takeshi Hakozaki                           (hcp 12) 38 points

2^nd Colin Greig                                       (hcp 13) 36 points

3^rd   Geoff Cox                                        (hcp 16) 35 points

4^th  Peter Habgood                               (hcp 17) 32 points

Near Pin Winners –  Gerry, Mashi, PJ, and Roger
