A field of forty lined up in 10 groups on the first tee of the “B” course, ready to have a warm-up on the first nine to then tackle the watery “C” course to complete the round.
The “A” flight saw a great 41 points from Karl Eidervik on his debut round with Links Golf and that landed him first place. Paul Durkan has returned after a short trip away and went straight into top gear to score second spot with 40 points. Paul Smith, as usual, is always thereabouts and his 38 points gave him third place and best gross of 73. Consistent Dave Hewson, now over his injury, did well for 36 points and fourth.
“B” flight had it tight at the top with two scores of 37 points and, after countback, Wayne Peppernell just nosed out the on-fire Phil Davies. Another countback was needed to decide third and fourth with Paul Kennedy, in his first game back, just getting in ahead of Bill Copeland, both with 36 points.
On a big scoring day we had another 41 points, this time from Masa Ishikawa to win “C” flight. When handing in his card he mused that it might be worth something. Stu Thompson has had some very ordinary (or worse) scores recently, but found a new lease of life today to score 36 points for second spot, one point ahead Stuart Kidd on 35 points and then Geoff Wallace rounded out the podium.
Near pins went to Paul Durkan, Derek Phillips, Kevin McEntee and Karl Eidervik.
Wednesday, July 24, Royal Lakeside – Stableford
1st Wayne Peppernell (15) 40pts
2nd Paul Smith (4) 39pts
3rd Eric Black (15) 38pts
4th Phil Davies (12) 37pts
On a day with above average scores, which we have come to expect at this course, Club Captain, Wayne Peppernell, led the way with his second handicap beating score this week, an excellent 40 points. This gave him the win and the Green Jacket. Paul Smith was close behind on 39 points while Eric Black followed up a 36 points game on Monday to grab third spot with 38 today.
That was the easy part for the scorer. Now we had a four-way tie on 37 points so a countback was needed to separate them all. After two went out on the first count the remaining two went to the last six, and it was Phil Davies, still in fine form, getting the nod to give him fourth place.
Near pins were claimed by Paul Smith, John Pierrel, Phil Davies and Paul Smith.
Friday, July 26, Pattaya C.C. – Stableford
1st Geoff Wallace (16) 39pts
2nd George Mueller (14) 39pts
3rd Wayne Peppernell (15) 38pts
4th Dave Hewson (9) 34pts
Twenty-two golfers played in one flight and a very tight contest ensued with just two points covering the top four places.
Dave Hewson recovered from a poor last round to post 34 points and take fifth place on countback from Bryan Barrell. Mike Firkin, recently returned from a traumatic home visit, put it all behind him as he enjoyed a fourth place finish on 37 points. In third place was Wayne Peppernell with 38 points, his third sub-par round this week, leaving George Mueller and Geoff Wallace to be subjected to countback for the top place on 39 points, with Geoff’s better back nine catching the recorder’s eye.
Near pins went to Bill Copeland, Wayne Peppernell, Kevin LaBar and Geoff Wallace.
