PSC golf from the Fairways Golf Society
Tuesday, August 2, Siam Country Club
Although it is a lot more expensive than most of the courses around here it is well worth the short journey to play here every once in a while. As usual the course was in pristine condition and we got of spot on time. Everything was run in military fashion with the marshals making sure nobody fell too far behind.
So we had a nice clear round that took only 3 & 3/4 hrs instead of the usual 4 to 5 hrs. And we would have finished even earlier if you did not have to have a compulsory golf cart and then not be allowed to take it on the fairways. As so much time is wasted waiting for the caddies to bring you the right club from the golf paths or sending them back to get another club.

Anyway, on to the golf and yet again that man Fred Land was the only player to play under par, beating Scott the pro by six strokes. I just don’t know what’s happening with the handicapper at the U.S.G.A. as we have put all Fred’s cards in with half a dozen of them being well under par in the last three weeks. Yet he has only been cut point one of a shot. We have now took matters into our own hands and drastically cut him for our own tournaments until the handicapper sorts it out. And like a true gentleman Fred totally agrees with our decision.
Near pin winners today were: Nicky Clow, Fred Land, Mark Slinn & Andy Mills. Today we experimented and changed the format to just one division with five places and this is how it turned out:
1st Fred Land (15) 40pts
2nd Scott Dobbins (0) 34pts
3rd On Soduk (22) 33pts
4th Tony Duthie (21) 32pts
5th Jon Lay (7) 31pts

Yet another keep it in the family day out with Bryan Neal for once beating his lovely wife Ning to finish in first place. Second place was decided on count back with Ryan McGregor losing out to Ning 19 – 17.

And just to rub salt into the wounds of the other golfers, Ning had three near pins whilst her hubby took the other one. So it really was a family day out.
1st Bryan Neal (20) 38pts
2nd Ning Neal (16) 35pts
3rd Ryan McGregor (13) 35pts
