Kazakhstanis held an iron grip on this year’s Pattaya International Arm Wrestling Championship, taking first place in all three divisions.
Magzhan Shamyiev, 21, won the under-75 kilogram division while Thailand’s Suthiwas Kohsamut, who won the bracket last year, placed second. Valen Low of Singapore grabbed third.
In the under-85 kg. class, Kazakhstan’s Raikhanov Shynbolat, 23, bested Pavel Lunev of Russia for first place. Mark Luis Ben of the Philippines placed third.
And in the over-85 kg. division, Kazakhstani Ongarbayev Kypyrgali, 19, took first, with second place going to Roman Abramov from Russia.

(L to R) Magzhan Shamyiev, winner of the under 75 kg. division; Raikhanov Shynbolat, winner of the under 85 kg. division; and Ongarbayev Kypyrgali, winner of the over 85 kg. division.

The contest adhered to international rules set by the Thailand Arm Wrestling Association. Wrestlers competed in three divisions with the winner of each taking home 50,000 baht. Second-place finishers received 15,000 baht and third place got 5,000 baht.
The young Kazakhstanis were the crowd favorites, especially among women in the audience. All are college students studying sports science.
“Some of us started training and preparing to become athletes since we were seven to ten years old, training two hours a day and three days per week,” Raikhanov Shynbolat said. “All our competition expenses are paid by the government, which sends us to international competition very often, causing us to travel a lot, meaning that we have to work harder on our studies.”

Ongarbayev Kypyrgali beats Roman Abramov from Russia for the over 85 kg. trophy.

Raikhanov Shynbolat, 23, bested Pavel Lunev of Russia for first place in the under 85 kg. division.

Continuity assured as Ocean Property confirms ownership of Top of the Gulf Regatta

Organised by Ocean Property, the 2015 Top of the Gulf Regatta Presented by Ocean Marina will take place 30th April to 4th May, hosted by Ocean Marina Yacht Club, Jomtien, Pattaya, Thailand.

Following the successful 10th Anniversary Top of the Gulf Regatta, the dates have been set for next year - 30th April to 4th May 2015 - and organisers are planning for a strong fleet of boats ranging from dinghies to large keelboats and multihulls hosted at Ocean Marina Yacht Club, Jomtien, Pattaya.
Racing for the keelboats and multihulls will take place 1st to 4th May while the Optimists, competing in the Thailand National Optimist Championships, dinghies and beach catamarans will race over three days, 1st to 3rd May. Registration for the keelboat and multihull classes, together with a practice race and opening party will be on Thursday 30th April.
Ownership of the Regatta has been vested in Ocean Properties PLC, owners of Ocean Marina, while the organising committee structure remains the same with co-founder and long-serving chairman, William Gasson, appointed co-chairman with Ocean Property’s Kirati Assakul, also a regular competitor at the Regatta on his multihull Sonic.
Reflecting the ownership change, the regatta sees a change of name: Top of the Gulf Regatta Presented by Ocean Marina.
Ensuring continuity, the regatta format remains unchanged and over the coming years will evolve in response to competitors’ needs, as it has over the past 10 years.
Home of the regatta since its inception, Ocean Marina has undergone significant expansion in recent years and is now the largest marina in South East Asia. In addition to the expansion in berthing, dry storage and onshore facilities, a new 75 ton Travel Lift has been added and extensive dredging taken place. The dredging will allow for more of the larger keelboats, such as the TP52s - of which organisers have received new enquiries already - to berth and join the regatta, and with the favourable berthing rates for yachts proceeding to the Samui Regatta this bodes well for an increased participation in 2015.
Ten years on, the Top of the Gulf Regatta Presented by Ocean Marina has become firmly established on the sailing map, is one of the 12 five-star regattas selected to be a part of the prestigious Asian Yachting Grand Prix circuit, and today welcomes sailors of more than 35 nationalities each year to compete.
The largest multi-class event of its kind in Asia, the Top of the Gulf Regatta Presented by Ocean Marina regularly welcomes over 250 boats and more than 650 sailors to compete across 10 or more classes, and incorporates the Coronation Cup - competed for by one-design Platus - and the Thailand National Optimist Championships.

Jimmy White highlights ‘whirlwind’ charity pool & snooker fundraiser

Jimmy White plays for the side pocket in one of his many charity games played last week to raise money for the Father Ray Foundation.

Paul Strachan
Veteran snooker ace Jimmy White was in Pattaya recently where he gave up his time to play against local pool and snooker enthusiasts at different venues, and all for charity.
Players paid 1000 baht to take on the ‘Whirlwind’ at four bars across the city for the Father Ray Foundation educational fund. This was hot on the heels of a press conference announcing a high profile snooker event that will take place in August 2015 which will also raise funds for Father Ray.
Jimmy has a long affinity with Pattaya and recently purchased a unit at the Palm Condo, so for him Pattaya is like a second home and is a familiar and friendly face around town.
On Sunday the 7th of September Jimmy first played a number of regulars at the Sportsman Bar where 13,840 baht was raised.
The following night Jimmy played at the Kilkenny Bar on LK Metro where a further 20,660 baht went into the pot.
On Tuesday he ventured out by Mabprachan Lake to the very popular Brasshouse where things started to get a bit crazy. 68,000 was pledged to play Jimmy, then there was an auction for a signed snooker cue which went for 51,000 baht, which was then doubled by a generous guy making it 102,000 for the cue - so a total of 170,000 baht was raised.

Jimmy Deakin from the Brass House and his lovely wife present Jimmy White with flowers as a small token of appreciation.

And finally, on Wednesday the 10th Jimmy went to a small bar off of Soi Khao Noi which used to be called the Golden Gate but recently changed hands and has been rebranded as The Dukes Lounge. 26 players took on Jimmy raising 26,000 baht. This was followed by a raffle which made 5,400 baht, which Jamie Saunders from the Dukes Lounge and Jimmy Deakin from the Brasshouse doubled to make it 31,400. An auction followed that raised a further 22,000, and finally, to top it all off, some very generous donations of 42,000 made a total of over 126,000 baht for the night.
In an exclusive interview with PMTV Jimmy stated that some of the most competent opponents were Thai women who play a lot of pool and are confident and determined.
Jimmy also stated that for him it was a pleasure to be involved in events like this and that he was amazed at the generosity of people.
Over the four nights, over 330,000 baht was raised for the Father Ray Foundation, a charity that is well loved here in Pattaya and that takes cares of over 800 children across its various communities. With Jimmy White’s help these children are promised a brighter future.

Friday, August 22, Green Valley Golf Club
Green Valley was the venue for PSC 135th Monthly tournament and what fine choice that was with a course presented in great condition, efficient booking in and just the right weather for golf!
With a 2 tee start and 108 players (111 signed up there were 2 late withdrawals and a ‘no show’), it was an early start for the advance party of Golf Chairman Mark West, Peter Blackburn and Nigel Cannon to prepare for the arrival of the players. Following registration it was off to the 1st and 11th tees where André Van Dyke and Gerd Riedler were waiting as starters to ensure a smooth start from the correct tees!
With no infiltrators it was just over 4 hours for most and Mark, Peter and Nigel were on hand to calculate the results.
With both Mike Allidi (3) and Max Scott (5) returning an 80 gross it went to count-back with Mike declared the winner.
‘A’ Flight from the - Blue Tees - also required a count-back with Jim Brackett (8) and Bob Newell (8) both coming in with 74 Net - it was Jim who secured the top spot.
42 points from PSC regular Barry Copestake (12) was the winner of ‘B’ Flight.
Count-back - again! In ‘C’ Flight between John Fitzgerald (18) and Sugar Ray Handford (19), both with 37 points. John was declared the winner.

At presentation time, Nigel called order and welcomed all. H also announced the sad passing of popular PSC member Jack Robertson, prompting glasses being raised to ‘Absent Friends’. Nigel then introduced Golf Chairman Mark West. Mark expressed his appreciation for today’s competitors and his team of helpers, Peter, André, Gerd, Nigel, Noi and Kit with special appreciation for the PSC office staff led by office manager Mai.

Wichai back in charge... just!

IPGC Pattaya Golf Society at the Elephant Bar

The Pattaya Golf Society’s week began with a visit to Bangpra to play a Stableford competition on a course which was splendidly presented with well grassed fairways giving quite a good deal of run and consistent and quick greens. The day was fine and all things made for a tight competition. The group got away before time and the whole round was completed in under four hours.
Sharing third place with 31 points were Larry Ang, shaking off the mantle of mediocrity which had dogged his golf recently, and David Thomas, who has also suffered a reaction to his excellent rounds of a week or so ago. In second place was Mr Len with 33 points and for the first time in many a golf day he managed to complete a round without three putting anywhere on the course. The winner by the narrowest of margins was Wichai Tananusorn and he stole the day’s glory with the only birdie two, on the seventeenth as well. Thirty four points was an excellent return for the eight handicapper on a course as testing as Bangpra.
The Booby Bevy went to Alan Walker for the lowest score of the day but it had to be decided on countback! Days don’t get much better than this one on a course a special as Bangpra.
Pattaya’s toughest test?
Some courses are known to be tough, such that experienced golfers go there with mind and attitude prepared. Treasure Hill has, over many years, had the lowest winning score of all courses on the PGS regular rota; making it the hardest course on which to accumulate a good score. Our visit, with five groups on Wednesday 10 September, was to prove no exception.
The course appeared very well presented with fairways offering excellent lies. Bunkers were evenly raked and reasonably compact. Putting surfaces were, we had been told, consistent and true. All this, combined with what looked like perfect weather, suggested we take on the course from the white tees; all 6726 yards of it.
Within the first few holes two hitherto unknown conditions revealed themselves. One was the fact that despite their visual appeal the fairways were not providing run, as many drives stopped abruptly on landing. The second issue took a little longer to work out. The humidity was high - rather like playing in April - and increasing as cloud cover increased. The resulting effect on ball flight became significant; perhaps as much as two club lengths. With the completion of the first nine came the realisation that we were, in effect, playing the equivalent of a course measuring perhaps 6900 yards; then the storm arrived. The scores say the rest.
There was one two, achieved by Masashi Iizumi on the 6th, which guaranteed he would enjoy the outing regardless of score. As for the four who made the podium, none are likely to regale their grandchildren of their golfing feats on this particular day!
Back at the Elephant bar we welcomed new member Kim Hewton from Australia, and bid farewell to Paul Whitnall, returning to the UK. Mr Len drew Dave Edwards’ name for the lucky beer draw, whilst the booby bevy was awarded to newcomer Kim as part welcome and part commiseration for his ‘mare of a round.
Notwithstanding the difficulty of the test, the lowness of the scores and the decision to play from the whites (the yellow tees would have been wiser in hindsight), the opportunity to play this beautiful test of golf, at a mere 900B green-fee/caddie fee was appreciated by most. Asked if they would like a chance to repeat the experience, from the same tees, 11 of 17 indicated they would. Perhaps the others would also reply in the affirmative if they knew the yellow tees (6377 yards) would be used. Whatever the case, any return trip to this excellent golf course should see us use the yellow tees, at least until the dry season arrives.
1st: David Thomas (8) 29 points
2nd: Gary Bolger (17) 28 points
3rd: Ian Wilson (23) 27 points
4th: Akifumi Tate (14) 24 points.
The course won!
More tough times on a testing track
The Pattaya Golf Society left Soi Buakaow on Friday, 12th September, under heavy skies, anticipating a Stableford competition punctuated by showers at Pattavia. Whilst conditions remained very humid for the whole day the rain stayed away and a long course, well presented and empty, awaited the group at tee off time.
Scoring would not be special as the previous round at Treasure Hill had shown, with flight distances restricted by the heavy air and only a little run on the fairways. However, a tight competition lay in store.
Sharing third place with 34 points were Jon Batty for whom “the wheels came off” on the back nine after an excellent two under front nine, and two handicapper Chris Smith who recorded the best gross of the day, 76 shots. The win was shared by Murray Edwards and Mr Len with 35 points each. Chris Smith and Andrew Purdie recorded birdie twos on the thirteenth to share the bonus pool and Bryan Brown’s nineteen points on the back nine complemented his nine on the front to give him a deserved Booby Bevy for the day’s largest split figures. Larry Ang again enjoyed the non-winners’ beer courtesy of Shane and Peter, mine hosts of the Elephant Bar.
It had been a tough week on the course with the PGS but nevertheless golfers had enjoyed the challenges that the wet season can present at this time of year.

Team 1-2-3 proves to be enjoyable game going down well with everyone

Jomtien Golf with the I.P.G.C.

Colin Phillips & Alan Bissell.

Monday September 1, Pattana - Stableford
As we drive towards the course up the 331 the clouds in the distance look very threatening and as we pull into the clubhouse and congregate the conversations are shall we play today or call it a miss. In the end we check in with five groups. The A course is still shut, so we are allocated the B and C courses with a tough tee off for all on the first hole.
Ricko, alias Steve Richardson the Siam Cats lover boy, playing his last game with us comes in with 36 points to win division 1. Colin Phillips, also with his last game, comes in second three points behind and keep it in the family his older brother Lindsay finishes third with 28 points.
In division 2 Alan Bissell wins the division with 30 points, Chris Reed is second one point behind and Glen Martin is third on 25.
We were very lucky with the weather today, there were rolling dark clouds moving in as the first group reached the 10th tee and a light drizzle lasted for 10 minutes, so we all continued.
Near pins: Div 1. Terry Madsen, Lindsay Phillips, Steve Richardson and Chris Voller. Div 2. Colin Phillips (2), Gill Phillips and Chris Reed.
In the two’s today a rollover to Burapha in division 1 but in division 2 Colin Phillips birdies B3 and Chris Reed B7 to split the box in division 2.
Wednesday September 3, Burapha - Stableford
We booked the A and B nines and that was what we played today off the white tees. An equal cut in the cards with division 1 at 9-18 and division 2 at 19 plus. Harry Vincenzi records the best score of the day winning division 1 with 36 points. Ted Morris is second two points behind and Bob Poole beats Lindsay Phillips 16/14 on the back nine after they both came in with 32. Nobody likes to see that!

Friday September 5, Eastern Star - Stableford 1-2-3
There are ten groups out today in an individual Stableford competition as always but with a 1-2-3 team competition as well sponsored by the rollover kitty. The equal cut today was 9-17 and 18+ and playing off 17 with 20 points on the front nine and 20 on the back Paul Butler wins division 1 with 40 points. Harry Vincenzi knocks Chris Voller off the second position with a 21/16 back nine countback after they both come in with 37 points.
Playing to his new handicap over the past two weeks Rod Howett is the winner in division 2 with 34 points. One point behind, Bristol Bob is second and in third place Iain Walsh beats Chris Reed and Glyn Evans 19/14/13 as they all come in with 32 points.

In the two’s two rollovers in division 1 and Grenville Hill is a happy chappy after a birdie on the tough 3rd hole today while in division 2 Paul Butler birdies the 6th and 17th to grab the lot.
In the team 1-2-3, Bill Bertram, Karl Flood and Chris Voller are the winners with 79 points.

Small turnout results in pleasant round

PSC Golf from Tropical Bert’s

Winners Brian Parish and Ted Morris.

Derek Brook
Tuesday, September 9, Mountain Shadow - Stableford
This morning at Bert’s we were in ‘find me if you can mode’ as our normal group all went on holiday somewhere else in Thailand. Normally I get annoyed that for weeks we have many and then suddenly have few. However, never mind the width and feel the quality, so it was with a smile we lifted off for Mountain Shadow.
With just a couple of groups it is so easy to get away, and I did not even have to have a start list, just you and you and you first and then rest last. Not even a need to get the near pin markers out, and as my group all were in carts it made for a really pleasant round on a course that was in fine condition.
Round over it was a pleasure to get into the showers. This for many years has been one of the golfers’ main crib about this course, so it was a pleasure to see that at last this area is nearly finished. Mind the towels are old friends but one cannot have everything.
So, on the day the winner was Brian Parish with 35 points, with Ted Morris second with 34 points. All in all a fine day with the pressure off the organiser, but they will all be back next week, Such is life.

Another beautiful day in golfing paradise

PSC golf Bunker Boys @ The Ranch

Geoff Cox models the latest line of golf wear!

Monday, September 8, Laem Chabang G.C. - Stableford
It was a bright sunny morning as we had breakfast at The Ranch, but your scribe was suffering from a heavy cold and decided not to play, leaving only 8 players for the trip to Laem Chabang.
It was a perfect day for golf, sunny, not too hot, with no hint of rain and we elected to play the Valley (C) and Mountain (A) courses off the white tees. The course was in good condition as always, with the greens true and running at 9 on the stimp meter. But there had been strong overnight rain and the superintendent had put some of the tees on the C course well forward, almost on the red tees on some holes. This didn’t suit the low markers but there was little roll, with many drives stopping dead, and the decision to play preferred lies on the fairways was well justified.
Fortunately, the tees on the A course were in the normal position and there was a bit more run as the course dried out.
We expected Paul Smith, who has been playing well lately, to tear the course up but he struggled on the front nine, clearly not enjoying the shorter course. Only three shots separated six players after 9 holes, but a strong back nine of 21 points by Geoff Hart (hcp.25) saw him win comfortably with 37 points from Keith Hemmings (hcp.17) on 34 points and Raleigh Gosney (hcp.16) playing his last game before returning to work in Japan in third with 32 points.
This will probably be our last visit here for this year because the special low season discount finishes next month, and the novelty of playing here has begun to wear off, particularly when the compulsory buggies are restricted to cart paths only.
1st Geoff Hart (hcp. 25) 37 points
2nd Keith Hemmings (hcp. 17) 34 points
3rd Raleigh Gosney (hcp. 16) 32 points
Near Pins: Ron Dickie (2), Colin Greig and Paul Smith.
Wednesday,
September 10, Green Valley G.C. - Stableford
There were heavy clouds gathering as we drove to the Green Valley course, but no rain was falling and we teed off a few minutes early, with an apparently empty course ahead of us.
As the leading three-ball were playing the 4th hole they were warned by the marshal to slow down because they were rapidly catching up to a very slow group (that has to be a first!), and sure enough on the 5th tee they found two groups waiting. Fortunately the marshal must have found a way to speed up the tardy culprits and the pace of play picked up again on the inward nine so that the round was completed in reasonable time.
No rain fell throughout the round and the overcast skies kept the temperature at a reasonable level, which made it a pleasant day out for all concerned on a course which is in great shape at the moment.
The best performance of the day came from Colin Greig who was leading Geoff Parker by a single point on the front nine, but then produced a three over par gross score on the inward nine to comfortably take first place. Dave Ashman also had a good back nine (19 points) to snatch second place on a countback from the unlucky Geoff Parker, who suddenly found he couldn’t get the ball to the hole on the back nine greens, leaving three separate putts one inch short!
We were welcoming back an old friend, Bob St. Aubin, who hasn’t played with us for a couple of years, but the pressure of the occasion proved too much, and a disastrous start to the round (2 blobs in the first 3 holes) scuppered his chances before he got going - never mind Bob it was good to play with you again.
1st Colin Greig (hcp. 7) 37 points
2nd Dave Ashman (hcp. 15) 34 points
3rd Geoff Parker (hcp. 15) 34 points
Near pins: Bob St. Aubin, Geoff Parker and Keith Hemmings.
Friday, August 12, Khaow Kheow G.C. (C and A courses) - Stableford
Another bright sunny morning as our three groups of golfers teed off on the daunting first hole on the C course, a few minutes ahead of schedule. The course was quiet and in good condition with the greens running true, if a little slow.
The round progressed smoothly and everyone was back in the clubhouse in a little over four hours, but as usual here the course had won the day over most players, and only Paul Smith managed to play to his handicap. Paul had a disappointing front nine by his standards, but his back nine score of one under par gross saved the day to secure first place two points clear of Geoff Parker.
Paul wrapped up a good day by taking three of the four near pin prizes with Colin Greig taking the remainder.
It should be mentioned that using the green fee vouchers currently available from the PSC office, that Khaow Kheow offers good value for money at the moment and is well worth a visit.
1st Paul Smith (hcp. 4) 36 points
2nd Geoff Parker (hcp. 15) 34 points
3rd Ken Young (hcp. 26) 33 points
Near Pins: Colin Greig and Paul Smith (3).
Note: The Bunker Boys are a PSC affiliated golf society, who now play out of The Ranch bar on Pattaya 3rd Road (in front of the fire station, and almost opposite the Buffalo Bar).

Kabinburi classic combo

Steve Ellison
Monday, Sept. 8, Rayong Green Valley - Stableford - White tees
1st Mark Wood (7) 37 points
2nd Jack Grindvold (3) 35 points
2nd Anders Pedersen (10) 35 points
If you’re reading this from overseas, this may be a little hard to believe. We have hardly had any rain at all so far in September, the rainiest month in Pattaya. The weather has been pleasantly overcast on many days providing perfect conditions for golf so we have been taking advantage of this most fortunate weather condition and getting out while we can. It’s bound to come sometime soon, but up until now it has been fantastic.
Green Valley got a bit of rain the night before but by the time we got out conditions were just fine. As usual, the course was in great shape so off we went at our 09:28 tee time for another round of superb golf.
The dandy Scandies were out in full force today with Anders and Jack both at that same magic 35 number on the cards. Today’s win went to TGC regular Mark Wood, no stranger to the podium, as he was the only golfer to best his handicap with a 37. We must also thank Mark for stopping off at the duty free and picking up a 15 year old Penfold’s “Grandfather” Tawny Port that capped off the evenings celebrations! I could really get used to that vintage.
Thursday, Sept. 11, Kabinburi Sports Club - Stableford - Yellow Tees
1st - Ron Robertson (25) 36 points
2nd - Phil Smedley (11) 34 points
2nd - Brendan Cope (28) 34 points
We love going up to play the Kabinburi Sports Club and staying at the Kantary Hotel. The rooms are fantastic and the only complaint is that we don’t get to spend enough time there! After we got checked in and the girls settled in with a quick lunch downstairs, we headed up the 33 for the 12 k drive to the golf course.
We had the course all to ourselves, but there was a local tournament that teed off earlier that morning. Lift, clean and place was on the tee box announcement from Capt. Phil as is the proper system for this time of year. The yellow tees gave us a 6,250 yard test and that was plenty of course for us to handle.
Brendan (playing off 28) had a huge 9th hole as his approach from 150 yards landed 10 inches from the pin, so his tap in birdie scored 5 for 3! The other highlight was on the signature “Crocodile” hole with all that water as we all walked off with everyone scoring pars! Condition of the course was just about perfect, and the bunkers are now really good.
Phil and Brendan had good, consistent rounds of 34 points, but the steady play of Ron Robertson surprised us all as he turned in a 36 point card for the only level handicap of the day.
Back to the Kantary for our traditional wine & cheese poolside party before the buffet dinner and we actually still had the energy to get over across the road to the Sweet Palm Home cowboy bar for a few songs. I guess we can thank little Ally for that one.
Friday, Sept. 12, Kabinburi Sports Club - Stableford - Yellow Tees

Day 2 of the Road Trip for September and after a light rain last night, the course beckons us once again. With full tummies from that great breakfast buffet, we were looking forward to another great day of golf back at KSC. Today actually turned out to be a hot one as the clouds burned off halfway through the round and forced our excellent caddies into umbrella duty.
No one shot to their handicap today but the ducks were all lined up as 35, 34 and 33 points were paraded on the podium. Our Kiwi mate Terry Dyer, on a quick trip over from Australia’s Central Coast, now has the moniker “The Sandman” as a dozen shots in the bunkers all were put to within 6 feet (ish) of the pin! Ronnie (R2) had another cracking round with 34 points for second. Today it was the high handicapper Brendan who shot the best with his 35 pointer for a well deserved win. Thanks to all who joined us for another fun time on the road!

Paul Greenaway wins inaugural KCL Tournament

PSC golf from the Billabong Golf Bar

Alan, George and Gary.

Friday, Sept. 12, Silky Oak - Stableford
Another successful day out at Silky Oak for our first annual KCL (Kerwin Company Ltd.) Tournament. With nine groups playing we were all away by 9.15.
Having been warned the greens had been sanded just a few days ago and that they would be a little slow, we were pleasantly surprised as they were in good shape although a little bumpy on some of them.

George, Bob and J.J. Harney.

A big thank you for Mick Williams for the major prizes from the Baan Tong Tong resort, which included dinner for two, two night’s accommodation for two people at the resort including dinner and breakfasts, four 1000 baht vouchers for drinks at the resort, all prizes well worth winning. If you have friends coming from overseas and they don’t want to stay in town, check out this place.

KCL Tournament winner Paul Greenaway.
It was a fun day out and everyone enjoyed themselves. The prizes went down to 15th place, and the card draw sorted out the rest of the players all went home with something.
The near pins were won by Jeff North on hole 5 and seventh, Mal Farquharson got the 14th and William Macey got the 16th, all won a mini radio for their shots.
There were five two’s coming from Alan Cassin, Jeff North who should have got two, Brian Maddox, William Macey and Mal Farquharson.
The NAGA award went to Tony who’s last name will remain a mystery to save any embarrassment.

KCL Tournament 2nd place J.J. Harney.
The day was won by the scribe’s good mate Paul Greenaway with a fantastic one over gross 73 for 44 Stableford points. It was a true pleasure to watch Paul - thanks for the lesson. Second place went to J.J. Harney with 39 points, his second in succession at the Billabong this week but he won with his last 39. Graham Beaumont got third with 39 also. Fourth went to William Macey with 38, Joe Mooneyham got fifth with 37 points then it went to count backs for the rest of the placings from 36 down to 33, and a sole 31 for fifteenth.
The weather stayed good with a rain cloud that went right around us. So we had a day of overcast pleasant conditions.
Monday, Sept. 8, Emerald - Stableford
With a small field, we left the bar for the Emerald, it being a lovely day for golf. Thank you to my mate George Barrie for looking after the lads in my absence.
We welcomed Gary Hartshorne, Alan Cassin and Abe Gurman to the Billabong today and they then proceeded to show all and sundry how to play the game.

KCL Tournament 3rd place William Macey.
The course was in great condition with all the work they have done on it coming to fruition. The course was too good for some by the look of the scores, as only four players managed to get 30 or more points. It must have been tough out there and I’m kind of glad I couldn’t make it.
There was one good player out there, though, Gary Hartshorne, who won the day with a fine 38 points. It was a five shot lead over his good mate Alan Cassin who took second with 33 points, and coming third but with no pay day was Abe Gurman with 31 points.
There were two twos coming from Mal Farquharson and Brian Maddox.
Wednesday, Sept. 10, Green Valley - Stableford
Playing our usual venue of Green Valley today, and the course was as busy as, but still in great condition even with all the traffic on it. We were joined by some of the teams from Karratha over here to play in Rosco’s Green Jacket and his invitational tournament down in Hua Hin - and a colourful lot they are too. All the best to all who are playing.
We had 10 ladies playing today, which is great. If it keeps growing like this we will have to have a separate ladies division. With nine groups playing and no rain to speak of we got away right on time and were all in just on four hours later, but it was hot in places.
There were some good scores today with most of the players scoring in the 30s. It was a three way count back for the minor placings today with Bob Philp getting the forth spot with 37 points, coming in third was Bob Finley, also 37, and taking second spot was Nichawan Khiaophuang (Sa) courtesy of 22 points on the back nine, also 37 points. Taking out the top spot was the man from the Emerald Isle, J.J. Harney, with a great 39 points.
There were three twos coming from George Barrie, Barry Williams and Nichawan Khiaophuang.
Note: The Billabong is situated just off Siam Country road looking down Lake Mabprachan or call Bob on 0822043411 if you are looking for a game.

Karl Beter comes closest to taming Pattavia

PSC from Cafe Kronborg

Karl Beter.

Dave Richardson
Thursday, Sept 11, Pattavia - Stableford
The test today was Pattavia, 1 hour up the 331 in light traffic with work being done on the pineapple road almost fully passable without potholes. Quick check-in and off the first tee 10 minutes early under overcast skies and a nice breeze all day.
The course on the day was in fine condition but a little wet with no restriction on carts. The bunkers as a whole were in the finest condition seen in years anywhere in Thailand.
Back in the clubhouse after a round of 3 hours and 50 minutes, welcomes went out to Steen Habersaat and Lan Lovgreen back for the winter from Denmark.
With the course in such fine condition the scores were the worst ever, with Karl Beter the winner on countback from Mike Winfield second, both 26 points, and Dave Richardson third on a countback from Jan Lovgreen, both 25 points.
1st Karl Beter (30) 26 Points
2nd Mike Winfield (21) 26 Points
3rd Dave Richardson(26) 25 Points

Monday, Sept 8, Burapha C & D - Stableford
I don’t think I have ever seen Burapha C and D in better condition than it was presented to us today; although apart from the six groups of Outbackers, there were very few other to enjoy it.
The tough rough must have been a big factor in the low scoring as the best score that anyone in Div A could muster was a lowly 33pts, attained by Mr Consistent himself, Bob Finley. Second was another Bob, Bob St. Aubin (32) squeezing a quick game in here and there between work schedules. Third was Martin Kingswood on 31, beating Murray and Brad on countback.
Surprisingly, Tim Knight found himself at the top of Div B with the day’s best score of 35pts, as Tim has been struggling of late getting all 18 holes to count but at last today he was a bit nearer the mark. Second was Martin O’Neill (31) and Sugar (30), third.
Welcome back again to Rob Wode from Australia and also to Martin O’Neill back from the UK for a few weeks or so.
There were five ‘2’s from Murray Hart & Geoff Stimpson on C5, Dennis Pelly (C8), Bob Finley (D2) and Jim Brackett (D8).
Div A (0 - 14)
1st Finley, Bob 33 pts (14)
2nd St. Aubin, Bob 32 pts (13)
3rd Kingswood, Martin 31 pts (13)
Div B (15+)
1st Knight, Tim 35 pts (24)
2nd O’Neill, Martin 31 pts (24)
3rd Handford, Sugar Ray 30 pts (18)
Tuesday, Sept. 9, Bangpra C & D - Stableford
Only two groups played at Bangpra, affectionately known as the Monkey course which is now showing the results of the recent rain by being in excellent condition, although the greens were slower than usual. This course is right up there with the best of them at the moment and is always a good challenge.
Brad Jordison continues to strike the ball well and the extra length of this course contributed hugely to Brad’s 35pts to win the day with another excellent ball striker, Geoff Stimpson, taking second with 31. Third was a new player to the Outback and welcome to him, Usman JanJua with a distant 25pts, beating both John Fitzgerald and Rob Wode on countback.
There were no ‘2’s.
1st Jordison, Brad 35 pts (06)
2nd Stimpson, Geoff 31 pts (08)
3rd JanJua, Usman 25 pts (14)
Wednesday, Sept 10, Laem Chabang A & B
Whilst there were five groups playing at Laem Chabang on A & B, the day belonged to Brad Jordison who had a fantastic one under gross off his six handicap to amass an unbeatable 43pts. Well done Brad. Playing with Ron Dickie, also a six marker, Brad left him in his wake making Ron’s 37pts look rather ordinary, leaving him in second place which probably on most other days, would have been enough to win. Club member Tony Garnett rounded off the podium in third with 34.
Andy Stewart (Brad’s mate) celebrated his new teeth by winning the second Div with 37pts from John Fitzgerald (35) and Steve Durey (34). John leaves on a high after his second place today as he and his wife, Maggie, are off back to Ireland tomorrow and we shall see you here, perhaps more permanently, when you both return in December.
Once again there were no ‘2’s.
Div A (0 - 14)
1st Jordison, Brad 43 pts (06)
2nd Dickie, Ron 37 pts (06)
3rd Garnett, Tony 34 pts (14)
Div B (15+)
1st Stewart, Andy 37 pts (15)
2nd Fitzgerald, John 35 pts (18)
3rd Durey, Steve 34 pts (19)
Friday, Sept 12, Green Valley - DeVere Monthly Medal & Day 1 of the Outback Decanter
This is a strange old place I find myself in after a very long absence, after seeing my handicap slip out over the last 5 years from 7 to 22, to be at the top of the pile, in a medal competition of all things, not only winning this month’s DeVere Monthly Medal, presented by Greg Hirst but also leading the two day 7th Anniversary tournament going into Burapha on Monday.
A fantastic turn out to celebrate the Outback’s birthday, originally of 44, but with a couple of no shows reduced to 42, and a few regulars away back in Aus or on holiday - so give yourselves a pat on the back for all turning up on time which makes the starter’s life easier (thank-you Suzi) and your support is really appreciated.
Day 2 kicked off on Monday, Sept. 15, at Burapha, where all those within 8 shots of the lead (net 75’s) competed in another round of stroke play for the coveted Outback Decanter (Frank O’Neill Memorial) donated by Martin O’Neill. The day culminated in complimentary food and live music from The Band of Smiles (results next week).
Long time no see Gary Saunders was in second, just one shot back on 68; followed home by a five way tie for third on 70 involving Tony Aslett, Geoff Stimpson, Barney Clarkson (who left for Aus last night), Bob Mattes and Mike Missler.
Special thanks also go to Tim Knight, who has helped out enormously with organising the golf in recent months and cannot play on Monday as he left for Aus immediately after the round today and by the way Tim, you owe all three of us 100 baht.
Finally congratulations to Mike Missler as he won the Low Gross Medal with his 76, well done Mike!
There was only one ‘2’ which came from Suzi on the 5th hole.
DeVere Monthly Medal
1st Moseley, Jack 89 - 22 = 67
2nd Saunders, Gary 84 - 16 = 68
Tie 3rd Aslett, Tony 94 - 24 = 70
Tie 3rd Stimpson, Geoff 78 - 08 = 70
Tie 3rd Clarkson, Barney 94 - 24 = 70
Tie 3rd Mattes, Bob 93 - 23 = 70
Tie 3rd Missler, Mike 76 - 06 = 70

It’s Nyborg’s week

PSC Golf from Lewiinski’s Golf Society

Thomas Nyborg.

Sunday, September 7, Green Valley - Stableford
A Flight
1st Simon Kendal (11) 37 pts
2nd Jim Brackett (5) 37 pts
3rd Eddy Beilby (14) 36 pts
B Flight
1st Thomas Nyborg (19) 39 pts
2nd Peter Terry (19) 39 pts
3rd Colin Davis (16) 37 pts
Near Pins: No 5 Ian Jones, No 8 Peter Terry, No 12 Dave Bill Peach, No 16 JP Maffray.
You cannot fault Peter Terry’s 39 point effort but unfortunately it’s not as favorably distributed as Thomas Nyberg’s, but it was good for a share of the bragging rights, and the silver in B Flight on the day. Thomas started the week as he fished last week with a top place finish. Tomas and Peter were one clear of the Colin ‘the Donkey’ Davis.
It needed a count back in A Flight to sort out the top two podium spots, as Simon Kendal and Big Jim Brackett were locked on 37 points, but Simon was the better when he compared his back nine score to that of Jim. Eddy ‘the Eagle’ Beilby swopped in to fill the flight with a steady even par round.
Leo Hosting, William Peach and Bob Fagan split the 2’s pot.
Tuesday, September 9, Laem Chabang B+C - Stableford
A Flight
1st Ron Dickie (6) 38 pts
2nd Freddy Starbeck (13) 38 pts
3rd Dave Stockman (6) 36 pts
B Flight
1st Alan White (18) 41 pts
2nd Christian Boysen (18) 37 pts
3rd Colin Davis (16) 35 pts
C Flight
1st Thomas Nyborg (19) 34 pts
2nd Jorn Finnerup (21) 32 pts
3rd Bill Broschart (21) 27 pts
A large crowd made their way to Jack’s Masterpiece Laem Chabang to receive the usual warm welcome from the staff. After a quick check in, it was off to the first tee for a prompt start on a sunny day with a slight breeze making for comfortable conditions.
It was very comfortable for Alan White as he amassed a staggering 41 points for the top spot in B Flight and the match honours. The inform Christian Boysen took the silver with 37 points leaving the Donkey to tidy up the flight with 35 points.
The A Flight laurels went to Ron Dickie but Ron needed the aid of a favourable count back decision over Freddy, ‘the very quiet one’ Starbeck, both with a rock solid 38 points. Dave stockman rounded out the flight with an even par round.
It was of no surprise to see Thomas Nyborg standing a top of the C Flight podium as his 34 points made it three wins on the bounce. Thomas was two clear of Irishman Jorn Finnerup. The flight bronze went to a count back between Bill Broschart and Barry Oats, with the scales of justice falling in Bill’s favour.
Ron Dickie and Alistair Gall split a very healthy 2’s pot.
Wednesday,
September 10, Burapha A+B - Stableford
A Flight
1st Alan White (18) 42 pts
2nd Manos Volikaisk (18) 39 pts
3rd Aiden Murray 9180 38 pts
B Flight
1st Ray Fowlis (34) 36 pts
2nd Peter Terry (20) 36 pts
3rd Thomas Nyborg (19) 36 pts
Alan White, who won Tuesday’s game, stepped it up a notch to take a three point victory in A Flight with 42 sparkling points. Alan Volikaisk was the silver award recipient, as Aiden Murray used the ubiquitous count back to fill the bronze spot from Paul Smith, as nothing previously sorted out their joint 39 points.
The entire C Flight podium was separated only by count back. When the divots had settled it was Ray ‘hud-cap’ Fowlis who emerged with the gold. The consistent Peter Terry grabbed the silver. Guess who? Closed the flight out - that’s right, three time winner this week Thomas Nyborg.
The happiest golfer on the day was Rune Askdal as he was the sole heir to the 2’s pot.
Friday, September 12, Mountain Shadow - Stableford
A Flight
1st Mike Jefferys (17) 37pts
2nd Murray Aiden (18) 36 pts
3rd Thomas Nyborg (19) 36 pts
Thomas Nyborg continued his weekly climb to the top of the podium as Sundays first was followed by Tuesday’s first which was followed by Wednesdays’ third and culminated in today’s third place. “How’s that for a week of golf.” But the winner on the day and the only player to better his handicap on the day at the always tough Mountain Shadow was Mike ‘the welsh Dragon’ Jefferys with a sound 37 points. Mike was one clear of Aiden Murray who does not need to be shown where the pay window is and you know who. Aiden had the better of the count back.
No 2’s were recorded.

Snooker’s best to complete for charity in Pattaya next year

Organizers, players and benefactors gather for a group photo during the press conference announcing next year’s Pattaya Snooker Open at the Amari Orchid Resort & Tower to benefit the Father Ray Foundation.

Marcus Souksi & Urasin Khantaraphan
Some of the greatest snooker players of all time will raise funds for the Father Ray Foundation at the Pattaya Snooker Open at the Amari Orchid Resort & Tower next year.
The world’s top players from Europe and Thailand - including Ken Doherty, Jimmy White, John Higgins, Thanawat Thirapongpaiboon, James Wattana, Dechawat Poomjaeng, and Kritsanut Lertsattayathorn - will compete over three days in the last week of August 2015, with 500 seats available for fans to take in the action.
Funds raised will go to the Father Ray Foundation’s education fund.
The tournament will be held under the supervision and rules of the European Billiards & Snooker Association, International Billiards and Snooker Federation and Billiards Sports Association of Thailand.
The marquee players will bring a long list of titles and accomplishments to the Pattaya tourney.
Thanawat, nicknamed “Thai-namite,” reached the final 32 of the 2011 German Masters and was the youngest player at just 16 years of age to get a maximum 147 break. He was a quarter finalist at the 2013 European Tour Events 5 and 6, and winner of the IBSF World Under-21 Snooker Championships in 2011 and, in 2009 and 2010, a semifinalist at the ACBS Asian Snooker Championship.
James Wattana from Thailand was relegated from snooker’s main tour after a disappointing 2013/2014 season but will enter the Open with a special invitation extended from World Snooker. He was the first player from the Far East to make a significant impact in professional snooker and his success inspired a rapid growth of interest in Asia. He enjoyed most his success in the 1990s and his last significant win was the 2003 Euro-Asia Masters invitation event in Hong Kong.
Dechawat Poomjaeng reached the last 32 of five world-ranking events during the 2013/2104 season. Perhaps the highlight of his season was scoring the first official 147 break of his career during a match against Zak Surety in the German Masters qualifiers in December 2014. Dechawat captured the imagination of the snooker public with a brilliant run in the 2013 World Championship. He won four matches to qualify for the Crucible for the first time. He became the seventh Thai player to win the World Amateur Championship when he beat India’s Pankaj Advani 10-7 in the final in Damascus, Syria in 2010. He also won a bronze medal in the Asian games in 2010.
Ken Doherty from Ireland saved his best until last during the 2013/14 season, finishing the campaign with a run to the last 16 of the World Championship. After beating Dechawat 10-5 in the final qualifying round, Doherty scored a 10-5 victory over Stuart Bingham, the first time he had won a match at the Crucible since 2006. He finished the season at number 33 in the world rankings. In 2012 he made his first-ever official 147 at the Paul Hunter Classic in Germany. At the 2011 Australian Goldfields Open, Doherty beat Stephen Maguire, Liang Wenbo and Mark Selby to reach the semi-finals, before his run was ended by Mark Williams.
John Higgins from Scotland had a promising start to the 2013/14 season, winning the Bulgarian Open European Tour event in Sofia. He went on to reach the final of the first ranking event of the campaign, the Wuxi Classic in China. However, the rest of the campaign brought little joy to Higgins. He did reach three consecutive ranking-event quarter finals, at the Welsh Open, World Open and Players Championship, where he suffered a 10-7 first round defeat against Alan McManus. Higgins won his 25th and most recent ranking title at the 2012 Shanghai Masters.
Kritsanut Lertsattayathorn, aka “Nook Sakol” from Thailand, was the runner up in the 2013 Thailand Championship as well as being the runner up in the Thailand 6-red championship 2014. Nook also won the 2014 Nakhon Pathom Cup and was a 2014 Asian Championship quarter-finalist. Nook had a fantastic run at this year’s 6 reds in Bangkok to make it through to the semi-finals and achieving the highest ranking of a Thai player to date at the 6 Reds World Championship.
Jimmy White from England was in danger of dropping off snooker’s main tour for much of the 2013/14 season, but rescued himself with a run to the last 16 of the China Open. He won three matches before Mark Selby ended his progress in Beijing. Still, he had to wait on results at The World Championship to find out whether he would keep his tour card, and breathed a sigh of relief when Michael Wasley lost in the last 16 at the Crucible which meant that White finished the season ranked 64th in the world. After three decades of trying, White finally landed a world title in 2010, although not quite the one he wanted. He won the Seniors World Championship, beating Steve Davis 4-1 in the final in Bradford. The Londoner’s last major success came at the 2004 Players Championship at the SECC in Glasgow.
