Peter Blackburn

Monday, May 30, Bangpra – Stableford

Our monthly visit to Bangpra is very much looked forward to by most and fifteen of us assembled at Cafe Kronborg in readiness for the day’s golf. We welcomed back visitors Barry Collier from Hong Kong and Volker Buley from Germany and departed the ‘Kronny’ a couple of minutes ahead of schedule at 0813hrs and we arrived at the golf course just 43 minutes later.

As is the norm lately we just about had the golf course to ourselves and our first group got away at 0920hrs, well ahead of our allotted tee off time. Without wanting to sound too repetitious the course was as ever in magnificent shape and those famous slick greens played the usual tricks, particularly if faced with a long putt above the hole.

The weather was fantastic although maybe a little hot and sticky early on but a slight breeze later in the round helped to make conditions very pleasant. The monkeys once more were conspicuous by their absence which allowed our cart driving players to relax just a little bit when their cart was unmanned. Four hours and twenty minutes was all it took to complete our round which included several stops for drinks.

Once more this fine golf course was the winner on the day with just one golfer playing to his handicap or better. Yours truly continued his good form and fortune by taking out the A Flight with 38 points, with John Graham 3 points further back in second place. Despite suffering from golfer’s elbow my good friend the colorful Walter Baechli completed the podium with 32 points.

A Flight was easily won by last Thursday’s winner Ken Bernek with 35 points and 5 points behind him Mike Winfield edged out Daryl Evans on a count-back to decide second and third.

A Flight (0-16)
1st Peter Blackburn (15) 38pts
2nd John Graham (11) 35pts
3rd Walter Baechli (16) 32pts
B Flight (17+)
1st Ken Bernek (18) 35pts
2nd Mike Winfield (20) 30pts
3rd Daryl Evans (19) 30pts

Volker Buley carried on where he left off on his last visit to Pattaya and managed to just win the Compass Cap from Takeshi Hakozaki, and Deefa the Dog was as hungry as ever after his trip to the bush and devoured several generous contributions to charity from the understanding Caf้ Kronborg crew.

Thursday, June 2, Rayong Country Club – Stableford

Today was a good opportunity for us to “practice” for the upcoming PSC Monthly Medal at Rayong Country Club and ten of us assembled at Caf้ Kronborg and departed a couple of minutes early at 0813hrs. We welcomed back Ronnie Ratte who was back again from Korea for some well earned R & R.

Arriving at the course just 43 minutes later the car park was as usual practically empty which ensured us of just about an immediate start. We had 2 groups of three and a group of four at the rear and our first threesome got away at 0920hrs in fine conditions although somewhat muggy and overcast.

Kevin Dinan.

The course was in fairly good condition although the greens were a mixture of part normal part sanded and part sanded part cored – perhaps part of the preparation for the PSC Monthly Medal. Just a slight shower during the round was the only other inconvenience and our threesome breezed through the round in three hours & fifty minutes which included a couple of drink breaks.

Despite the tricky conditions on the greens there were three good scores and in particular veteran Irishman Kevin Dinan’s 42 points, which was easily enough to take first place. Yours truly had another good round to finish second with 38 points, 1 point ahead of another veteran Ted Morris. The visiting Ronnie Rattie’s 29 points was good enough to secure fourth spot just 1 point ahead of Volker Buley who edged out Mike Winfield for fifth on a count-back.

1st Kevin Dinan (25) 42pts
2nd Peter Blackburn (15) 38pts
3rd Ted Morris (17) 37pts
4th Ronnie Ratte (25) 29pts
5th Volker Buley (28) 28pts

The Compass Cap was well won by Barry Collier and we thank him for his donation to charity. Unfortunately Deefa the Dog was not present to collect more donations as he is at home assisting with his master Hunter’s convalescence (sprained wrist due to unsuccessfully attempting a late night somersault in his driveway).


Low season blues at Pattaya C.C.

IPGC golf with The Pattaya Golf Society

On Monday, May 30, the Pattaya Golf Society fell victim to Green Valley’s ill-thought out voucher scheme and re-routed to Pattaya Country Club to play its monthly medal event, losing a group with the decision. As a result the competition had a real “low season” feel to it with a small field competing.

Pattaya C.C. was in fair condition with only the bunkers showing signs of distress and as a bonus the course was empty.

In third place with net 78 was Tony Thorne and in second was Sam McLellan showing his recent consistency with net 75. The winner was Wichai Tananusorn whose net 73 emphasised his ability to force good scores out of less than perfect conditions on a fairly heavy course in desperately humid conditions. He also took the ‘2’s pot for his excellent effort on hole 7.

Green Valley it wasn’t, but full marks to Pattaya C.C. for facing the reality of low season and offering a very good deal.

Sam’s the man

The Pattaya Golf Society travelled to Emerald in Ban Chang on Friday, June 3, to play a stableford event on the popular course. The day was excessively humid and overcast and throughout the threat of a storm caused eyes to be cast heavenwards, but in the event the day stayed dry.

The single flight saw Tony Thorne record 33 points for third place on a day which saw his putting improve somewhat and Tony Bamford, playing his first round with the group, filled the runner-up place with his 34 points. The winner was Sam McLellan with 37 points and the victory marked another successful day for the full-time holiday golfer.

The only birdie ‘2’ of the day was memorable because it was achieved by Jeff “Rabbi” Cohen on the fifteenth after an exquisite tee shot which stopped in its own pitch mark and left him with a very short tap-in for his first ever birdie ‘2’.

Mr. Len, embarking on his comeback golf with his group after a frustrating three months recuperating from surgery, received the Booby Bevy for his 12-19 split. It’s just good to be part of it all again, especially at Ban Chang!

Tuesday, May 31, Khao Kheow - Monthly P.A.G.S. Tournament

Considering the rain we had overnight and during the last few days, the course was in excellent shape - we were even allowed to take the golf carts onto the fairways. So another great escape from the weather as we only lost 20 mins play due to rain.

With well over a hundred golfers competing for the 29 prizes on offer today, it seemed that only the A flight and the ladies division were able to cope with the course and the conditions, as so many of the very large field struggled to play anywhere near their handicaps. But even though the course played so difficult, everyone enjoyed the challenge.

Back at the club house afterwards with everybody well sated on the wonderful barbecue laid on by the guys at the Fairways, it was onto the presentations with some old faces and a few new ones in the frame.

A Flight
1st Jack Grindwald (6) 40pts
2nd Gary Saunders (14) 39pts
3rd Mikael Anderson (10) 38pts

Near Pins (3 shots): Billy Vickers, Derick Doyle, Bob Watson (2)

Near Pins (2 shots): Mike King, Siripen, Gary Saunders, Jack Grindwald, Joachin, and Ning Neal

Near Pins: Jack Grindwald (2), Jeff Hosliw, and Gary Saunders

The festivities went on well into the night over several libations with everyone looking forward to the next monthly P.A.G.S. tournament which will be held at Phoenix golf club on Tuesday 28th of June.

The overall leaders at this stage of the main tournament are Jack Bowman (Men’s) & Noi Emerson (Ladies).

Friday, May 3, The Emerald – Stableford

It was nice to welcome a few new faces today which bolstered the field and made it possible to have two divisions. The A Flight was won by one of them, Terry Dreier, with a tidy round of 36 points.

Ladies winner On Sudok (centre).

The B Flight should have been taken by Andy Crabb who had amassed 31 points over 15 holes and then somehow managed to scratch the remaining three and then to rub salt into the wounds find out he lost on a 15-14 count-back. Andy put it down to lack of concentration due to over indulging the night before.

Near pins went to NingNeal (2), Brian Neal and Andy Crabb.

A Flight

1st Terry Dreier (18) 36pts

2nd Scott Dobbins (0) 34pts

3rd Brian Neal (16) 33pts

O’Brien sets the mark for the week

PSC golf from The Golf Club Sports Bar

Henry O’Brien, winner at Green Valley, with the Golf Club gals Nat, Meow and Goy.


Monday, May 30, Green Valley – Stableford

1st Henry O’Brien (18) 40pts

2nd John Emmerson (8) 40pts

3rd Allen Whitingham (13) 37pts

4th Terry Wagner (18) 36pts

Henry O’Brien returned from an extended vacation that apparently did him well, firing a B9 22 points and edging John Emmerson who had B9 20. Allan Whitingham had a fine 37 points to finish alone in third.

Terry Wagner, with a brand new set of clubs, scored 36 points for fourth spot. Terry was still taking the plastic off his clubs while waiting to tee off. Fresh set and he played his to his H/cap, well done.

Wednesday, June 1, Phoenix – Stableford

1st Micheal Mier (10) 38pts

2nd Henry O’Brien (18) 32pts

3rd Don Bland (4) 32pts

We had a smaller group today with 11 players. Micheal Mier put together a fine 38 points on some fast and bumpy greens while Henry O’Brien finished second, again the winner on count-back, edging Don Bland with a B9 18 to Don’s B9 15.

Friday, June 3, Mountain Shadow - Stableford

1st Jim Sykes (9) 34pts

2nd Bob Newell (5) 33pts

3rd Nigel Flanagan (12) 33pts

Mountain Shadow greens and tight fairways continued to level out the playing field for our outing there. 11 players and not one got to their H/cap.

Jim Sykes took the frame with a 34 point score. Once again the dreaded count-back was required; Bob “Seamless” Newell and Nigel “Colts Colts Colts” Flanagan were tied on B9 18. Seamless had a B6 14 to Nigel’s B9 12 to take second and third respectively. Thanks to all for joining us and we look forward to seeing you in the weeks to come.

‘Thommo’ strikes on Outback Golf Bar tour to Bintan

Tuesday, May 31, Bintan Resort (Woodlands) - Stableford

Our journey to Suvarnabhumi was quite painless early on Monday morning, arriving on schedule at the airport at 6.30 a.m. for our two hour Thai airways flight to Singapore, leaving at 8 a.m. Unusually, it was a Jumbo, giving us a very pleasant flight, even though it was fairly full.

Passage through Singapore airport was as efficient as ever, before the 15 minute taxi ride down to the TMFT ferry terminal, which serves the Island of Bintan.

Forward one hour (Singapore time) and then back again (same as Thailand) in time zones, after the 50 minute boat ride, we were greeted in Bintan, our passports collected for the fast immigration service, and after a couple of remonstrations from our driver, we were on our way to the wonderful Ria Bintan course, for nine holes of exquisite golf - even if we were all a bit shattered by the trip. It was just a friendly knock, the real stuff starting the next day.

It was a little disappointing that only 8 golfers ended up on this tour but those who didn’t will have missed something very special. The hotel is fantastic and after avoiding a storm, which could have turned nasty when we were playing the 13th or 14th hole, we completed the round on the Ian Baker Finch designed Woodlands course comfortably by early afternoon. It was a little unfortunate that many of the greens had either been sanded recently or cross cut, leaving us with three varied types of greens throughout the day, making the putting very tricky.

This is a seriously hilly course with long distances between the tee boxes and even though we had carts, it was a long but pleasurable day in the office. I can’t say I warm to one caddie between two players, she’s rushed off a feet which tends to affect one’s golf as they always seem to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, nevertheless they got the job done, even if they did have to be told to slow down!

The winner today was Clyde Smith, a friend of Sel Wegner’s, playing off a handicap of 26, and he had a total of 35 points, 12 of which came from three holes, which included two ‘2’s! Needless to say, he received an immediate handicap adjustment down to 22. Second place was a count-back between General Jack and Stuart Thompson both on 32, Jack getting the nod with his 16 on the back.

1st Clyde Smith (26) 35pts

2nd Jack Moseley (15) 32pts

Wednesday, June 1, Laguna - Stableford

We left at 9 a.m. en route to Laguna, a course designed by Greg Norman, lying about 20 mins from the hotel. There was nobody on the course but we were warmly greeted at the clubhouse and it wasn’t long before we were on the first tee, a long par 4, which in most people’s opinion should have been a par 5.

In fact our choice to play the blue tees, although only just over 6,300 yards long, made in a tough course, as four of the par 4s on the front nine were all over 400 yards. The course was a little scruffy round the edges and the greens varied in terms of speed but generally in good condition.

The seventh, the signature hole, is a par 4 that leads right down to the beach, and is made difficult by being dead straight and the very next hole is a par 3 that actually runs right alongside the beach.

The storm, which had been lurking, eventually prompted the sirens to be sounded and we headed off back to the clubhouse to wait it out. Some 40 minutes later, and of course after the customary beers, we were back on the course resuming at the same par 3.

Ria Bintan, the world renowned Gary Player course.

B1, Stuart Thompson and Rosco Langoulant line up with their caddies on the Seaview golf course, Friday, June 3.

Rosco, who had 18 points at the turn, went on the score 20 more on the back which included an excellent birdie (worth 4pts) on the 13th, which gave him the win for the day with a total of 38.

General Jack struggled on the greens but just did enough to take second again with 32 points, beating Bruce Milner on count-back over the last three holes (4-6), having been level on the back nine (16-16) and level on the back six (11-11).

This was a tournament over four rounds, one of which had to be discarded (only three counting); the decision as to which one to discard had to be made before the start of the next day’s round. As it stood, Rosco led with 68 points, followed by Jack with 64 and Bruce on 62; but anything could happen with two rounds still to go.

1st Rosco Langoulant (15) 38pts

2nd Jack Moseley (15) 32pts

Thursday, June 2, Ria Bintan - Stableford

Ria Bintan, a world renowned Gary Player course, is the one that everybody wants to pay when they visit Bintan. It is truly a world class course with a certain serenity all of its own, a must play, which inspires the best golf, but you have to keep the ball straight; veer off line and it’s a certain bogey or worse.

We had the benefit of playing nine holes here on Monday, when we arrived just as a taster but today was the real thing, into the whole 18 holes, which everybody, without exception, couldn’t help but enjoy.

Stuart was unstoppable having turned with 21 points, shortly after which the siren sounded for an enforced storm break of around 40 minutes. When we resumed it was business as usual for Stuart as he racked up 24 more points on the back (level par gross).

General Jack was trying his best to hang on to Stuart’s shirt tails but his putter was unusually cold, as it had been all week, and his short game wasn’t up to much either! Nevertheless, he was content to take second for the third time this week with some signs that his game is returning after a long time in the wilderness.

At this point, after three rounds, only Jack and Rosco had all three counting; Jack with a total of 102 and Rosco one back with a 101, but with one round to go Stuart only needed to score 26 points to overhaul them, so they were both (Rosco & Jack) forced to discard their lowest scores and make the final day count!

1st Stuart Thompson (12) 45pts

2nd Jack Moseley (15) 38pts

Friday, June 3, Bintan Resort (Seaview) - Stableford

The second course at the Bintan Lagoon Resort is the Jack Nicklaus designed Seaview course. We were up for an early start (7.45 a.m. tee) as Sel had to catch an early flight back to Bali and then to Aus., but it wasn’t such a bad idea since we were likely to miss the storms which usually arrive around midday. Although they (the storms) had been a daily phenomenon, there had been little or no rain and we had been permitted the use of shared carts on the course all week.

It was Sel’s turn to shine today after he had played pretty miserably all week. When he strikes the ball properly there are few better but his direction left a lot to be desired and had there been a prize for the most balls lost it would have most certainly have been awarded to Sel. However, today he got it right and won the day with an excellent 39 points, followed in by Rosco with 34, which was not enough to give him the overall win, falling short by three shots.

So the overall win went to Stuart with 108 points, followed by Rosco on 105 and Jack on 100, with Sel in fourth with 98. The remainder were some distance off, notably Steve Mann who had had surprisingly a disastrous week with absolutely nothing going right for him. He said afterwards that he had thoroughly enjoyed himself but I suspect he would have enjoyed himself more if he had had just one good round.

We left for the ferry at 14.15 which departed at 15.35 and settled down to our 45 minute crossing watching children’s cartoons; the ferry was full of school kids returning to Singapore. We bade goodbye to Bruce Milner, going back to the Philippines and also to Clyde, returning to Sydney; for the rest of us, our packed Thai Airways flight arrived back in Bangkok just ahead of schedule at 10 p.m.

1st Sel Wegner (14) 39pts

2nd Rosco Langoulant (15) 34pts


Murphy has the edge

PSC golf from the Three Sisters Bar

Three Sisters kicked off the month with a field of 14 players at Pattaya Country Club on June 1. The course had some wet spots left over from Tuesday’s rain but most of the fairways and greens were in good condition. The weather held as some clouds showed up as the last group finished.

Back at Caddy Shack II the cards were tallied and there were lots of high scores. Dale Murphy came in with 37 points, followed by Mike Conti and Paul Ovens, both with 36. Mike took second place on the count-back.

Dale Murphy, left, with Mike Conti.

Herbie Ishinage was busy with the Embassy folks so Sus Ige came through with some looong (sic) hot dogs. A special treat was provided by Larry Emerson in the form of a pork and beans stew and it was outstanding.


Brook wins back to back

PSC golf from Tropical Bert’s

Derek Brook

Tuesday, May 31, The Emerald – Stableford

It always seems to rain these days when we meet at Bert’s in the morning, and this day was no different. In fact it was pouring it down. Still we always go to the course unless they say absolutely no golf, and as of late we have always played. So off we went.

The trip there was carried out in heavy rain and only started to ease as we got near the course. Booking in it looked as if the area had a lot of rain but we were told we could play and teed off in spitty rain with the carts not allowed off the path. The fairways were soaking wet and the ball did not travel far. The greens were still wet and the rough was soaking. Still, after a few holes the rain stopped and it was like being in a steam bath. It was going to be a long hot day.

The scribe, Derek Brook, left, and runner up Bill Knight enjoy a ‘cold un’.

As we started the second nine we were informed we were able to take the carts on the fairways and not a minute too soon in the humid heat for some of the players with us. The course was proving hard work for most and the point of interest, especially for me, was if the scribe could keep his excellent play of last Friday up.

Game over it was into the hot showers, not bad here, then a sit outside in the restaurant. This is the only full time outside restaurant as far as I know, and it is actually quite good. Good cheap food and the breeze is great as long as it is not too strong.

Back at Bert’s, after food and watering, it was time for the results and I am more than pleased that the winner with 41 points was yours truly and the excellent form continues. Easy this golf innit! In second was Bill Knight who shot a fine 38 points, with John Roberts in third with 33. Near pins went to Bill Knight (2), Derek Brook and Mick O’Meara. T.T.F.N.


McLean’s smash and grab

PSC golf from The Outback Golf Bar

Capt’ Bob

Monday, May 30, Burapha - Stableford

Twenty-seven Outbackers played the A and C loops from the blue tees today, and there was no rain although it threatened for a while.

Welcome to Duncan McLean, who is on his way home from London and just stopped in for a round and to say hello and what a hello it was; he won the A division with a magnificent score of 42pts. Andy Butterworth came second with 39 points, which would be a winning score on this course 99 percent of the time; you just got Duncan on a flash day mate. Coming third today was Clinton Kimber on count-back over John Cunningham, both on 34.

B division was won by Stefan Hoge on also on count-back from Tim Knight, both with 36 points. I had the pleasure of playing with Tim today and after 25 points on the front nine I thought he was going to clean us all out but with the help of his very beautiful caddy we managed to bring back to earth. Third was Bob Lindborg with 35 points and fourth went to Ivan (the consistent) Plunkett.

There were five ‘2’s today coming from Frank Nottle, Clinton Kimber, Tim Knight, Duncan McLean and Capt’ Bob.

Div A (0-14)

1st Duncan McLean (13) 42pts

2nd Andy Butterworth (10) 39pts

3rd Clinton Kimber (14) 34pts

4th John Cunningham (7) 34pts

Div B (16+)

1st Stefan Hoge (15) 36pts

2nd Tim Knight (23) 36pts

3rd Bob Lindborg (19) 35pts

4th Ivan Plunkett (21) 33pts

Tuesday, may 31, Pattaya C.C. – Stableford

There were just 11 Outbackers who made the quick journey across the 36 to the welcoming Pattaya Country Club. With the storms the night before we wondered what we were in for - even the caddies put the bag covers on. To quote a local saying ‘No Problem’ – it was overcast for a while then we had some sun but no rain! The course was satisfactory although some of the greens need attention.

With 11 players (and no ‘2’s) it was one division and four places.

Today it was David Day’s (15) day with 37 points. Second was PCC member Nigel Cannon (22) with 35, third was another PCC member Geoff Moodie (24) with 34 and the final spot went to Owen Walkley (10) with 33.

The Outback is at PCC each Tuesday with a tee time of 09.30.

1st David Day (15) 37pts

2nd Nigel Cannon (22) 35pts

3rd Geoff Moodie (24) 34pts

4th Owen Walkley (10) 33pts

Wednesday, May 1, Greenwood – Stableford

It was up to Suzi to run golf from Greenwood (A & B nines) today and she did a sterling job looking after the 15 Outbackers who played; there was no rain and apparently never looked like it.

Once again the Aussie boy’s took most of the places - six out of the eight - not a bad average. I have played with these fellas over the last week or so and I think when they stay off the grog they seem to play great, but with a hangover, the normal golf comes to the fore. They have voluntarily cut themselves every time they have won:- Tim by 3 shots on his first game earlier in the week and Darren also (but there will be another cut for him today), so hopefully when the Aussie golf union starts to do things properly maybe everything will work itself out.

The winner of Division A was Darren Norris with 39 points, with second going to Frank Nottle (11) with 32 points on a count-back over Clinton Kimber (14). Div B was won by Adam Smith off 21 with 36 points, with Brian Maddox (19) in second with 35 and third was Sid Ottaway with 31.

There were two ‘2’s from Clinton Kimber and Frank Nottle.

Div A (0-15)

1st Darren Norris (14) 39pts

2nd Frank Nottle (11) 32pts

3rd Clinton Kimber (14) 32pts

Div B (16+)

1st Adam Smith (21) 36pts

2nd Brian Maddox (19) 35pts

3rd Sid Ottaway (23) 31pts

Friday, June 3, Khao Kheow – Stableford

Twenty-four intrepid souls went to Khao Kheow today and it was raining like hell when we left the bar. There was patchy rain up the highway until it finally stopped about halfway to the course and that was the end of it, although it came over dark and threatening but we never got a drop.

The course was in great condition but the greens were slower than normal, leaving room for a few three putts.

Playing C and B loops starting on C is always a challenge but we were all away by just after 10 am. The scores were better than you normally see, especially in the A division.

The winner of the top flight today was the lovely Suzi Lawton after beating Murray Hart on a count-back, both on 36 points, so it was the case of the Tart beating Hart. The scribe came in third with 35 points, his best on this course for a long time, he even had a 6 for 1 on B9 - the only time he has scored on that hole in the last 6 months.

B division was won by Bob Lindborg with 34 points and second was Gus George with 33 while the Sugar man was back in third on 31.

There were two ‘2’s today from Martin Crichton and Capt’ Bob.

Div A (0-16)

1st Suzi Lawton (15) 36pts

2nd Murray Hart (12) 36pts

3rd Bob Philp (9) 35pts

Div B (17+)

1st Bob Lindborg (19) 34pts

2nd Garry George (25) 33pts

3rd Sugar Ray Handford (18) 31pts

Scribe’s scrambling form continues

Phoenix Tuesday /Friday Golf Group



Winner Mike Gerrard, centre, Stuart Gordon, left, and John Bartley, right, pose with staff from The Relax Bar.

Mike Gerrard

Yes folks, as often happens, when one player hits a little bit of form it seems to continue for a week or so. Still in trouble with the shoulder problem, hitting the ball consistently from tee and fairway continues to be problematic. But as most older players will tell you, it’s round and on the green that matters.

Without the fine putting results of ‘yours truly’ my scores would be very embarrassing. However my net 71 was the best result of the day to win the first prize and also the coveted Trattoria Italiana voucher shown in the photo.

A close second was Stuart Gordon who after only arriving back from abroad the night before (thus still suffering from jet lag) scored a net 73 to claim not only the second place prize, but also the KPK Foods hat award (seen wearing in the photo).

Another couple of shots back was John Bartley with a net 75.

Only two near pins today and both went to ‘yours truly’ - the only two decent iron shots of the day from me.

The Relax Bar lucky draw vouchers went to Terry Vicary, Richard Baldwin and Mike Wing.

Next week will be an ordinary stableford competition and the following week will be, again stableford with the KPK Foods Ltd voucher up for grabs by the winner of the day.


‘Raja’ Patel rules the Valley

PSC golf from Lewiinski’s

Sunday, May 29, Green Valley - Stableford

A Flight

1st Chaten Patel (12) 40pts

2nd Yui Bietry (11) 39pts

3rd Jack Spencer (11) 37pts

B Flight

1st Adam Oyston (19) 38pts

2nd Lou Szigligeti (19) 37pts

3rd Mike Craighead (18) 37pts

Near Pins: No 4 Bob Watson, No 9 Pierre Bietry, No 12 Thierry Petrement, No 16 Mike Craighead.

Chaten ‘the Raja matt black’ Patel showed the field that he is well on the road to recovery after his hair concerns experienced over the last several months, by leading the gang home this Sunday with a quality 40 point performance. Jack Lieutenant Spencer marched to the bronze three strokes adrift. Crowd favorite Yui Bietry was sandwiched between Chaten and Jack with a solid 39 points; Pierre keeping a close eye on the situation.

Adam Oyston placed his stamp on the junior flight with a workmanlike 38 points. Since numerology is the apparent theme of the article we will keep it going pointing out that five competitors posted 37 point totals: Aussie Lou ‘2-1’ Zig Zag had the best of it as his count-back carried Lou to second place and because there was, as there is in many relationships one too many (in this case three) Mr. Craighead was handed the bronze, leaving Don ‘the ladies man’ Lehmer, Geoff ‘the game keeper’ Doody and Sim ‘card’ Davis to view the prize giving at sea level.

Mike Craighead and Bob Watson, who was only a whisper away from an ace, split a huge 2’s pot.

Tuesday, May 3, Khao Kheow A & B - Stableford

1st Mikko Mutanen (21) 36pts

2nd Ed Wyckoff (11) 35pts

3rd Andy Kelleher (10) 34pts

Mikko Mutanen, who finished in the last position in Sunday’s game, showed that he may have solved the plot as he was man of the match with an excellent even par round - “you have been warned.” Ed ‘the right honorable’ Wyckoff and Andy Kelleher were stretched out behind Mikko in single figure increments and finished in that order.

Sunday’s winners: Chaten Patel and Adam Oyston.

Joe Tynan and ‘the Donkey’ shared the 2’s with ‘the Donkey’ claiming two thirds of the pot.

Wednesday, June 1, Pattana - Stableford

A Flight

1st Andy Kelleher (10) 36pts

2nd Ian Halfpenny (16) 35pts

B Flight

1st Jan Eriksen (16) 40pts

2nd Mikko Mutanen (21) 39pts

A fair sized field took on the Gussan designed Pattana, the course was in excellent condition and a joy to play.

The man who had most to shout about was Jan ‘the quite one’ Eriksen who stole the show with a blistering 40 points, it had to be that good as “don’t say you weren’t warned” Mikko Mutanen was only a stroke adrift for the silver and his second pay day on the trot.

The premier top spot went to Andy Kelleher who went two better than Tuesday’s third place with an even par round top finish. ‘What’s with this two in a week thing?” Ian ‘loose change’ Halfpenny took second a shot back.

Friday, June 3, The Emerald - Stableford

A Flight

1st Colin Davis (16) 37pts

2nd Terry Mangan (10) 37pts

B Flight

1st Joe Tynan (29) 38pts

2nd Morton Esseth (18) 36pts

The final trip of the week provided a senior flight collision between Colin ‘the Donkey’ Davis and Co. Wicklow man Terry Mangan. ‘The Donkey’ used his length and amazing ability to hole out from long distance to take the flight honors. Colin was matched in every department by Terry but ‘the Donkey’s’ math’s stood up in the resulting count-back.

It was the junior flight that provided the day’s man of the match as Joe Tynan put together a splendid 38 points. Morton Esseth’s even par round was good for the silver.

Ed Wyckoff never far from the pay desk took home the 2’s pot.

Note: Lewiinski’s is situated on Pattaya Land Soi 1, Beach Road Soi 13/3 near to Walking Street. Anyone wishing to play with us just pop in and add your name to the list or call Colin on 089 826 0764. Transport is provided.


Double Daryl & Mighty Min take the plaudits

Golf from the Travellers Rest

Barry Hooper

My headline this week sounds like the name of a circus act, but I can assure you that is not the case. The performances of these two players does however warrant their headline status. “Double Daryl” is of course Daryl Ottoway who played on Saturday at Greenwood and came in at number one with 39 points, and then proceeded to better that with yet another win on Tuesday at Green Valley with 40 points.

“Mighty Min” refers to Min Moore, Brendan Moore’s wife (I was uncertain a couple of weeks ago). Min I happen to know has only been playing golf for quite a short time but truly found her form on Thursday at Phoenix and came home with her 39 points, clearing all the male players before her.

Congratulations to both Daryl and Min – well played!

You will notice however that this week’s picture is of Min and not Daryl - you don’t need to ask why, do you?

Saturday, May 28, Greenwood C & B - Stableford

I notice that the numbers have really dropped off at the moment - lots of the regulars going home and the replacements not arrived in town yet. Despite that the quality of play has not diminished.

The first winner of the month – Min Moore.

Today was a good win for Daryl Ottoway with his 39 points and closest to him was the ‘Welsh Wizard’ Alun Webber with 34, with Fergus following them at 33.

1st Daryl Ottaway (8) 39pts

2nd Alun Webber (19) 34pts

3rd Fergus Brennan (11) 33pts

Tuesday, May 31, Green Valley - Stableford

No play on the Monday but Tuesday was a trip to Green Valley for the last outing of the month, and we were not disappointed. The course played well it seems, well certainly for Daryl Ottoway and an opportunity for him to post back to back wins, this time with 40 points.

Daryl just took it from Ito Akitoshi by a single point. It was a further three back to 36 for third spot and Roger Wilkinson.

1st Daryl Ottaway (8) 40pts

2nd Ito Akitoshi (9) 39pts

3rd Roger Wilkinson (11) 36pts

Thursday, June 2, Phoenix - Stableford

What can I say about the play at Phoenix? I am really happy to be able to report on a win for Min (hey that rhymes). No seriously, what a great day she had. She played good golf and from someone new to the game as well. You had to go back a full four points to find second placed Ito Akitoshi at 35 and the battle for third spot was a count-back between Ted Senior and Fergus Brennan, both coming in with 34’s with Ted just edging it.

1st Min Moore (28) 39pts

2nd Ito Akitoshi (9) 35pts

3rd Ted Senior (11) 34pts

4th Fergus Brennan (11) 34pts

Note: If you want any further or fuller information about the golf outings played by the TRGG from the Travellers Rest Hotel, please contact the hotel manager Tewin Lamthong on 086 056 7019 or call in to the Travellers Rest in Soi LK Metro, Pattaya and look at the notice board or visit their website at www.trgg.biz.


Gardner gets to grips with Green Valley

PSC golf from The Caddyshack

Wednesday, June 1, The Emerald - Stableford

1st Helmut Hebstreit 36pts

2nd Damien Trant 35pts

3rd Ted Gardner 34pts

The Emerald played tough today with just one man matching his handicap, that being Helmut Hebstreit with a level par 36 points for the win. Damien Trant and Ted Gardner filled the minor places.

In keeping with the difficulty of the course, there were no ‘2’s scored on the day.

Friday, June 3, Green Valley - Stablefor

Division 1

1st Ted Gardner 38pts

2nd Emmet White 36pts

Division 2

1st Ben Findon 37pts

2nd Don Wilson 37pts

Two divisions today at Green Valley with Ted Gardner top scoring with 38 points to take the premier flight ahead of Emmet White.

Ben Findon edged the second division on a count-back over Don Wilson, both on 37 points.

Tony Oakes and Ted Gardner both got a ‘2’ so split the pot.


Mike Johns wins debut monthly award

PSC golf from The Bunker Bar

Monday, May 29, Pleasant Valley - Stableford

We had Bruce Gladden, Mike Johns and John Graham all within just one point of each other in the ‘golfer of the month’ competition, but, in the last game of the month, the pressure must have gotten to them as none of them got in the frame today, leaving Mike Johns as the monthly winner for the first time ever!

Nile Sheehan took the honours today, beating Reg Smart on a count-back, both of these won a near pin each and as only two greens were hit, it was quite a successful day for them.

1st Nile Sheehan (21) 37pts

2nd Reg Smart (24) 37pts

3rd Tony Robbins (14) 35pts

Wednesday, June 1, Phoenix - Stableford

The start of a new month and playing a Medal round for a change old campaigner Mashi showed his consistency by winning by one stroke ahead of John Graham, who beat Tony Robbins on a count-back for second.

Reg Smart, Colin Stokes, Mashi and Tony Robbins split the near pins between them.

1st Mashi Kaneta (11) net 75

2nd John Graham (11) net 76

3rd Tony Robbins (14) net 76

Friday, June 3, Crystal Bay - Stableford

Tony Robbins has had two third place finishes this week but he stole the show today at Crystal Bay. Tony won by a clear four points ahead of Takeshi Hakozaki (playing on his home course), who beat Geoff Cox on a count-back.

Near pin winners today were Takeshi, John Graham, and Geoff Cox with two.

1st Tony Robbins (14) 38pts

2nd Takeshi Hakozaki (13) 34pts

3rd Geoff Cox (13) 34pts


Thailand Open to tee off at Suwan Country Club

The Thailand Open will embark on another exciting season with OneAsia this year and be played for the first time at Suwan Golf and Country Club, located 45 minutes from Bangkok and one of the country’s leading golf clubs.

To be held from August 11 to 14 the prestigious tournament will boast an overall purse of US$1 million and feature Singha Corporation as the premier sponsor, with CAT Telecom leading a list of other big name sponsors.

Former US Open champion Michael Campbell from New Zealand, Japan’s Shigeki Maruyama, and leading Thai golfers Thaworn Wiratchant and Prom Meesawat are just some of the top names who will compete.

“The Thailand Open boasted prize money of US$1 million for the first time in its history last year and we are delighted to welcome it back at the same level in 2011. This will also be the first time that the Thailand Open will feature marquee players of the calibre of Michael Campbell and Shigeki Maruyama,” said Rungsrid Luxitanonda, on behalf of the Thailand Golf Association (TGA) and Singha Corporation.

Pongsakorn Pongsak, Executive Director of Suwan Golf and Country Club, Mark Hardess, President, World Sport Group, Rungsrid Luxsitanonda, President of the Thailand Golf Association (TGA) and Vice President of Singha Corporation, and Sompol Chanprasert, Senior Executive Vice President of CAT Telecom PCL, pose for a photo at the press conference to announce the 2011 Thailand Open.

Campbell became part of the golfing elite when he held off world number one Tiger Woods to win the US Open in 2005. The Kiwi star has won more than 14 tournaments worldwide.

The popular Maruyama has claimed 10 titles on the Japan Golf Tour and three on the US PGA Tour. He helped win the World Cup for Japan in 2002 and was also instrumental in the 1998 Presidents Cup victory by the International team.

“Our national Open is considered the biggest golf event in Thailand which has been organized since 1965. This year we have been given a great support from many business sectors and we believe that this year Thailand Open will be as significantly successful as in the previous years. This event will also be a vital part to promote tourism as well as golf industry in Thailand to the world. More star players will be announced in the forthcoming weeks as well as formidable field from OneAsia,” added Rungsrid.

The Thailand Open was won last year by China’s Liang Wenchong when the tournament made its debut on OneAsia. He claimed his third OneAsia title by one shot after holding off a spirited challenge from young Thai star Namchok Tantipokhakul.

The championship, first played in 1965, is an annual golfing tradition with some well known names inscribed on the trophy such as Australians David Graham (1970) and Graham Marsh (1973), and Taiwanese golfers Hsieh Min-nan (1972) and Chen Tze-ming (1983 and 1986).

Unquestionably the most popular winner of the event is Thailand’s Boonchu Ruangkit, who took top honours in 1992 and 2004.


Burnie back with a bang

IPGC Jomtien Golf

Monday, May 30, Bangpakong - Stableford

Five groups made the one hour journey to Bangpakong from Siam Cats and the equal cut today was 6-18 in division 1 and 19 + in division 2, plus the ladies comp as well. The course was in good condition and there was nobody there apart from our group.

The best score of the day came in division 2 with count-back Burnie coming in with 42 points, eight ahead of Tom Novak in second and in third place Gordon Everingham beat Lee Casey on a 17/16 back nine count-back after they both finished with 30 points each.

In division 1 Ian Hart tied with Erik Reginiussen but remarkably won on a 23/22 count-back after they both scored 37 points while Kari Aarnio, now off 15, was third with 33 points.

Improving her game and trying to catch Mam Morel, Noi Emmerson won the ladies division with 36 points and with her big charity game next month on the 21st at Pattaya Country Club, she is trying hard.

There were no ‘2’s today in either division so a rollover ensued to Phoenix on Wednesday.

It was bon voyage to Roger de Jong back to Brussels and Grenville Hill to the land of Oz.

Wednesday, June 1, Phoenix - Stableford

Our first visit here for over six months due to the pricing structure and with the greens holitized four weeks ago, which we did not know about, there were a few discussions in the club house afterwards about when we will return.

Wichai took division 1 with 33 points with Tony Thorne second two points behind and back with the boys after six months, Nick Payne beat Kari Aarnio and Chris Voller on a 17/16/12 back nine count-back for third.

The organizer Glyn Evans, back in form now since the Hua Hin trip, won division 2 after beating the ‘old man’ on a 21/18 back nine count-back, sorry Ken Foster. Russell Benson was in third place, beating count-back Burnie 18/12 after they both scored 30 points.


New dates set for Football Legends Tour in Thailand

Cris Rosenbergs (left), Director of North Scoreboard, owner and creator of the Football Legends concept and Alan Kennedy (centre), Tour Manager, are bringing the Football Legends Tour to Thailand’s football-loving public.

The Football Legends Tour – a week-long celebration of football in Thailand which culminates in two matches between the Liverpool Legends and Thailand Legends playing for the prestigious “Prime Minister’s Football Legends Charity Cup” – has re-scheduled the dates. The Tour will now take place 29th September to 5th October with the first match in Phuket on 2nd October and the final match in Bangkok on 5th October.

“The date change allows us to invite even more famous former Liverpool football stars to Thailand to play in the matches,” said Cris Rosenbergs, Director of North Scoreboard, owner and creator of the Football Legends concept. “This is an unprecedented opportunity for people in Thailand to see these stars up close and watch them in action, and we’re very excited to be able to invite legends such as Ian Rush, Robbie Fowler and many other top footballers to take part.”

The Liverpool Legends line-up is expected to read like a ‘who’s who’ of Liverpool FC with invitations issued to John Barnes, Ian, Rush and even recently retired Sammi Hyppia and Vladimir Smicer as well as Patrick Berger, Steve McMannaman, and Robbie Fowler, to name just a few. They will be led by two-time European Cup winner Alan Kennedy, the Tour Manager, and will be up against an all-star Legends team from Thailand, including arguably two of the most famous footballers ever to play for their country; Piyapong Pue-on and Kiatisak Senamuang, also known as Zico.

“The line-up of players for both teams is looking very strong. The Legends concept has been well received with brisk ticket sales. We hope to make the Tour an annual event and aim to raise significant funds for our chosen local charity,” added Rosenbergs.

The eight day tour includes a series of events, public appearances and football clinics in Bangkok and Phuket, with the Tour raising funds for the Phuket Youth Football Home Foundation. More information on the Tour can be found at www.footballlegendstour.com.


Leandro double denies vital points for United

Staff reporters

Pattaya United slipped closer to the Thai Premier League relegation dogfight after relinquishing a two goal lead at the Thai Army Sports Stadium in Bangkok last Saturday.

The Dolphins, looking for their first league win since April 16, opened the scoring with a spectacular 30 yard free kick from club skipper Niweat Siriwong on the 35 minute mark, but on the stroke of half time Army United equalized after they were awarded a penalty when Leandro was fouled by Yamamoto in the box. The Brazilian forward picked himself off the floor to clinically dispatch the resultant spot kick past Narit in the Pattaya goal.

Any thoughts that United would bow down following this setback were immediately dispelled at the outset of the second half when they retook the lead through yet another long range effort from Siriwong; this time from fully 35 yards out that seemed to wrong-foot Phanprom in the Army goal before snaking into the bottom corner of the net.

The Dolphins appeared to have all three points firmly in the bag after 65 minutes when striker Patipol Phetwiset ran onto a loose ball in the Army penalty area before unleashing an unstoppable shot into the roof of the net to give Pattaya a two goal cushion.

The joy was to be short lived however as first Rafael Santana pulled a goal back on 68 minutes, tapping in a rebound after Narit had failed to hold onto a long range effort, and then Santana’s compatriot Leandro notched his second goal of the game just 7 minutes later as he connected with a left wing cross to put his team back on level terms.

When the final whistle came it signaled the end of a highly entertaining game but ultimately one that Pattaya United players and fans will look back on as a missed opportunity. The draw leaves United in thirteenth place in the league standings but more importantly just six points above the drop zone.

The Dolphins will be hoping to regroup over the summer break but before that they have the matter of an away match against defending champions Muang Thong United to contend with on Sunday, June 12. Kick off for the game is scheduled for 6 p.m.

At the top end of the table, Chonburi FC missed a chance to gain some ground on leaders Buriram PEA after the ‘Sharks’ were held to a 1-1 draw against Muang Thong. Buriram were beaten for the first time this season, away at Sisaket, but still hold a seven point lead at the top, albeit having played one game more than Chonburi.

Bangkok Glass have now occupied third place in the league standings after they secured a 2-0 away win at struggling Khon Kaen.


Bangkok Triathlon set for July

The third edition of the prestigious Bangkok Triathlon will take place on July 10, 2011 starting from the Rama 8 Bridge and featuring a course full of challenges.

The Bangkok Triathlon 2011 will take place on July 10.

Organised by the Raj Pracha Samasai Foundation under the Royal Patronage of His Majesty the King, in collaboration with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and the Royal Thai Police, the event will pay tribute to His Majesty the King and raise funds for the foundation’s charity programmes for leprosy patients and children whose parents have been affected by HIV. The event also aims to promote Bangkok as a city of culture, sports and tourism.

The winner of the individual male and female categories will each receive a Royal Trophy and the winning relay team will receive the “Friendship Cup” given by the US Embassy on the occasion of 175th anniversary of US-Thai relationship.

The Bangkok Triathlon swim course will start with a 1.84km swim in the Chao Phraya River near the Rama 8 Bridge. The river has long been Thai people’s lifeline. Its beauty, along with the various canals that cut through Bangkok in the past, has earned the capital the nickname the “Venice of the East”.

The 55km bike course will take athletes to the top of the Borommarajchachonnani elevated expressway where competitors will enjoy a spectacular 2 loops with tremendous views of the western Bangkok countryside. This 4 lane expressway is among the many royal initiated projects by the King to lessen traffic congestion in the western part of the city.

The run course, which will take place in Sanam Luang Rama 8 Park and over the Rama 8 Bridge, is 10km long and promises to be very exciting for competitors and spectators alike. This refreshing 3 loop course will bring another memorable end to the 2011 edition of Bangkok Triathlon.

The Bangkok Triathlon 2011 is open to individual triathletes or to relay teams (a swimmer, a cyclist and a runner). For more information or to register, go to www.bangkoktriathlon.org or call Active Management Asia on Tel: 02 718 9581-2


Pattaya Sports Club distributes funds to worthy causes

Blind school children learn to swim with the aid of the PSC.

On March 18th, Pattaya Sports Club held its annual Charity Classic golf competition at Green Valley. Each year, for the last 15 years, the Charity Classic has raised millions of baht and many handicapped and underprivileged people have benefitted from the proceeds of this event.

This year was no exception and as a result of the effort by Joe Mooneyham – Golf Chairman of PSC – the club managed to raise 404,000 baht, every single baht of which will be given to charitable organisations.

This year the funds will be distributed as follows:

1) 50,000 baht will go to Golf Aid Charity and will be used to distribute essential items to those suffering from the severe flooding in the South of Thailand.

2) 130,000 baht to go to the Father Ray Foundation. We hear all too often, of young children drowning along our shores and these funds will be used to teach children from the Blind School and the Day Care Centre how to swim, provide costumes and maintenance of the pools.

3) 60,000 baht to Hand to Hand. Margaret spends all her time helping others but, with more children having access to computers and the internet every day, she is now working with City Hall and the Police about a plan to educate children to the dangers of online liaisons.

4) 164,000 baht to the Special Education Centre. Mentally and physically handicapped children are cared for at the centre and it is likely that most of the children will not be able to experience the simple pleasures of life like going to the market, beach or to see waterfalls. Touch and being in contact with everyday experiences, most of us take for granted, are so important. The funds will be used to have a mini zoo to enable children to experience how animals grow, develop and to expand their existing Adventure Room.

PSC members make a presentation of funds to the Special Centre.

The Pattaya Sports Club would like to say a big thank you to their sponsors and all the PSC members that gave their support to making the 2011 Charity Classic golf competition a success. If you would like to be a sponsor, which involves the golf day and all the charities that the PSC supports, please contact Joe Mooneyham at Pattaya Sports Club.

PSC President Tony Oakes, left, hands over a cheque to the Golf Aid Charity to help victims of the flooding in the South of Thailand.

Hand to Hand receive a much needed donation from the PSC.
