PSC Golf Bunker Boys at The Ranch
Presentation of the coveted trophy will have to wait for Stuart’s return as he left town without playing in the final deciding round. With three players neck and neck, and the trophy on the line, Stuart upped and headed back to the homeland.
Your scribe would have canceled his own funeral to play in this final round. Keith Norman and Tony Scambler were happy to see Stuart go as now all either one had to do was finish in the top four to be crowned golfer of the month. Wasn’t to be though as they both bombed out and Stuart wins in absentia. Congrats Stuart – you lucky dog!
Monday, Nov. 30, Pattana B & C (yellow tees) – Stableford
The Eagle Has Landed, but landing followed by feasting is not guaranteed. Just ask Colin, Paul, and Ben as between these three all four par-5s were hit in two; but the eagle went hungry. Too bad!
Geoff Parker, a winner at Khao Kheow.
It was a great day for the thirty-three Bunker Boys that struggled through the roadworks on Rt.331 to play the beautiful Pattana Golf Course, a 33 stableford average, with sixteen percent posting scores in the 70’s. That’s right – 70s gross!
A big hearty welcome back to Patrick Kelly (+2 ) who is in town warming up with the Bunker Boys for the upcoming Asian Qualifying Rounds in Hua Hin. Good luck and keep your head down.

Wednesday, Dec. 2, Khao Kheow B & C (yellow tees) – Stableford
As the saying goes, “there’s always a first time for everything”. Indeed, today was the first time ever to show up at the lovely Khao Kheow and there weren’t enough caddies to go around. The issue was soon rectified however and the delay was minimal.
The course, as usual, was in good nick and it was a beautiful day in a beautiful place. Mike Corner especially liked the par-5 No.7 on the C course. Playing off a twenty handicap, he birdied this challenging hole to collect five stableford points and claimed it was his first ever five point stableford posting. Like the saying goes …”first time for everything.”

Friday, Dec. 4, Bangpra – Stableford
Once again we had a good turnout of 28 players for the trip up to Bangpra. The day was hot and slightly overcast and the course in its usual good condition with the greens running very fast downhill and slow uphill, which made for some difficult putts.
We welcome back Richard Baldocci who is unable to play because of pain in one hand but has come in to the bar to meet up with old friends and enjoy a beer or two. We hope his hand gets better and he can start playing golf with us again.
Mashi was in good form and won the A flight on a count out from Peter Kelly.
