Adam Barton continues to show steady play as he settles to the pace of Pattaya life. It took a best on the day 41 points effort for Adam to wrest first place from a resurgent Mike Holmes, who was pleased to see his 38 points hold up for second place. Paul Smith closed A Flight with a steady even par round.

Irishman Paddy Jordan led B Flight onto the rostrum; there are not many plaudits left to bestow on Mr. Jordan as he shot a fine 37 points. It should be noted that Ausie Lou ‘walk about’ Zigzag matched the point output but fell to a back nine count back. Ian Jones filled the flight with an even par round.
Paul Smith, Vic Hester, Justin Fowlis Lou Zigzag and Pierre Bietry shared the 2’s pot.
Monday, Nov. 3, Greenwood – Stableford
1st Leo Horsting (17) 37pts
2nd Andy Byrne (10) 35pts
3rd Lou Szigligeti (22) 35pts
We had a small but talented group, due to our back-to-back playing days, and the weather also turned out to play at the well presented Greenwood.
Leo Horsting easily led the field home as he was the only player to better his handicap with a fine 37 points; Leo was two clear of Co. Offaly man Andy Byrne and Aussie Lou ‘walk about’ Zigzag. Andy took the silver while Lou was explaining his game to his friend.
Andy Byrne, Tom Gorey and Trevor Gough shared the 2’s pot.
Tuesday, Nov. 4, Bangpra – Stableford
A Flight
1st Pierre Bietry (16) 35pts
2nd Matt Doyle (14) 32pts
3rd Leo Horsting (17) 31pts
B Flight
1st Colin Davis (18) 32pts
2nd Ken Kelly (19) 32pts
3rd Matt Cronin (16) 30pts
Pierre Bietry, lethal off a sixteen handicap, was good enough to edge victory in A Flight with 35 points as once again the legendry lightning fast greens took their toll on the field. Irishman Matt Doyle lifted the silver with 32 points while Leo Horsting was handed the bronze as his 31 points counted up better than Ireland’s Tom Gory. Tom was not too concerned as he was the sole heir to a very healthy ‘2’s pot.
Colin ‘the Donkey’ Davis sat atop the B Flight podium with 32 points, a score he shared with Ken Kelly. Matt Cronin kept his head bent as he accepted the third place for his less than memorable 30 point total.
Wednesday, Nov. 5, St. Andrews – Stableford
A Flight
1st John Pierrel (13) 40pts
2nd Barry Wellings (5) 39pts
3rd Paul Smith (3) 38pts
B Flight
1st Gerry Roche (20) 37pts
2nd Lou Szigligeti (22) 37pts
3rd Colin Davis (18) 34pts
John Pierrel has a great deal of upside potential, even though he is currently off a very credible 13 handicap. His 40 points at the demanding St. Andrews layout is testimony to that.
Barry Wellings thought he did what he had to do, shoot 39 points, but he just did it on the wrong day. Pay window specialist Paul Smith made his regular appearance on the podium with 38 points.
Irishman Gerry Roche, who has yet to hit a consistent stride this visit, is sending out signs that an explosion may be in the offering as his 37 points out-pointed Ausie Lou ‘walk about’ Zigzag for the B Flight gold. The Donkey made it two podium appearances this week in third.
Barry Wellings, Paul Smith, Reg McKay and Martin Allard shared the 2’s pot.
Thursday, Nov. 6, Mt. Shadow – Stableford
A Flight
1st Justin Fowlis (110 38pts
2nd William Peach (17) 38pts
B Flight
1st Murray Aiden (18) 40pts
2nd Pat Harney (21) 30pts
Mountain Shadow is always a stiff test of golf, with its superb greens and tight fairways, but none of that seemed to deter Aiden Murray as he stormed past B Flight, and the entire field for that matter, with a fantastic 40 points. Aiden was an unbelievable 10 strokes clear of Ireland’s Pat Harney.
The laurels in A Flight went to Liverpool’s Justin Fowlis as he got the better of William ‘the conqueror’ Peach on a count back, both locked on very creditable 38 points each. Bill was not too upset as had two ‘2’s to Justin’s one.
Kam Kahn, and Aiden Murray shared the ‘2’s pot with Justin and William.
