Travellers Rest Golf Group
Every golfer dreams of shooting a hole in one at sometime in their career. Some are lucky and achieve it more than once whilst many others never realize their dream. On Tuesday 16th July the TRGG paid a visit to the picturesque golf course at Green Valley and Gary Bennett had his dream come true when he shot a hole in one at the 144-yard par three 16th hole. Well done Gary!
I am sure this made his day but one man’s good luck meant another man’s bad luck. The unlucky guy was Richard Talbot, our bionic marathon runner, who shot a ‘2’ at one of the other par three’s and thought he had got his hands on the ‘2’s pot, normally around a thousand baht, only to find he had been pipped on the line by Gary’s hole in one.
Gary Bennett scored a hole-in-one at Green Valley.
Richard was obviously so put out he turned out again on Thursday at Phoenix and won the competition and the winner’s pot. What Buddha takes away with one hand he gives back with the other.
Monday, July 15, Plutaluang N & W – Stableford
On Monday 15th July it was an early return to Plutaluang, not only because of the terrific value this course offers but because it is in such good condition at the moment. At least two of our golfers were pleased with that decision because they both returned excellent scores, shooting 40+ points. Bob Cannon again showed how his game has improved over the last couple of months by taking the honours.
1st Bob Cannon (19) 42pts
Simon Tapster (17) 40pts
Paul Kruining (28) 32pts
Tuesday, July 16, Green Valley – Stableford
I have already told you of Gary Bennett’s hole in one and Richard Talbot missing out on the ‘2’s pot but neither of their achievements were good enough to get them into the first three places. Jim McNeill fought out the number one spot with John O’Donaghue and Jim finished triumphant by just one point.
1st Jim McNeill (16) 39pts
2nd John O’Donaghue (16) 38pts
3rd Fergus Brennan (13) 35pts
Thursday, July 18, Phoenix (Mountain & Lakes) – Stableford
Richard Talbot ran past all the rest of the competitors today to break the tape in first place. In a very close race Peer Brun came second and last week’s winner Roger Wilkinson was third.
1st Richard Talbot (19) 38pts
Peer Brun (12) 37pts
Roger Wilkinson (12) 36pts
