Monday, July 15, Khao Kheow – Stableford
1st Kevin Joseph Smith II (32) 33pts
2nd Shane Young (25) 30pts
3rd Takeshi Hakozaki (14) 29pts
4th Allan Ray (29) 26pts
Our course for today’s pain and suffering was Khao Kheow – a very good course that, like most s in the region, is suffering from the lack of rain. Anyway today it was in great shape with fairways clean and tidy, the rough trimmed, bunkers raked and greens running true. We would play the one flight only and attack the course from the white tees.
Kevin Joseph Smith II took the plaudits today with a round of 33 points, three up on second placed Shane Young while Takeshi Hakozaki and Allan Ray completed the podium in second and third respectively.
Thursday, July 18, Crystal Bay – Stableford
1st Ron Gillett (33) 44pts
2nd Takeshi Hakozaki (14) 42pts
3rd Kevin Smith (32) 39pts
4th Andrew Allen (34) 38pts
Near Pins: Shane Young, Andrew Allen, Ron Gillett.
Long Putts: Shane Young, Ron Gillett.
This is a course that we play every month but looking at the condition now, maybe it’s time to give it a rest. On a few occasions on the greens it was like putting on corrugated iron. Apart from that it is also lacking some water to freshen up the fairways.
We played the B & C courses from the yellow tees with just the one flight.
Ron Gillett grabbed the game by the throat and with a back-nine of 25 points made it hard for all the other contenders, posting 44 overall. Second past the post was Takeshi Hakozaki 2 points in arrears of the winner and then there was a procession of golfers that you could have thrown a net over, given there was only a single shot separating each golfer.
