PSC Golf from The Billabong Bar
Monday, Feb. 11, Phoenix Gold – Stableford
The day started out overcast and as we got to the first tee a little shower of rain came but didn’t last long and it turned out great after that. With seven groups playing we a little late getting away because the course was packed but the golf just flowed along.
Playing Ocean and Mountain loops in that order gives you a chance to warm up before taking on the more difficult Mountain nine, which in the scribe’s opinion would have to be one of the hardest nine holes of golf in this area. The course was in fantastic condition as usual and everyone had a good day out.
The scoring was very good with fifth place going to Glyn Davies on countback with 35 points. Two points better in fourth spot was Jerry Grocott with 37 points while Noddy Moyle was relegated to third on countback by Nadine Goyons, both with 38 points. Julie Battersby had a day in the sun with a gross 81 for 43 points to take the top spot, and in that score the young lady had three 2s; Vaughn Jackson and Jerry Grocott got the others.
Wednesday, Feb. 13, Green Valley – Stableford
A busy Green Valley today but it didn’t seem to worry the Billabong golfers, although the scores were very ordinary to say the least with only3 golfers playing better than handicap. The course was in great condition with fast greens and lush fairways.
Peter Thomas managed 34 points to take fifth place while one step higher was Colin Goon with 35. Brian Orr scored one under handicap 37 points to take third place and his good mate Dougie Crowe, playing off a 9, managed 39 to capture the silver. The winner was Tony Oakes with a sparkling 40 points. There were only two 2s, coming from Colin Goon and Keith Allen.
In the ladies division Miss Porn took third spot with 34 points, Miss Phin, who is playing very well at the moment was second on 36 and the lady of the moment Miss Phin played 3 under her handicap to shoot 39 points to win the day. There was only one 2, coming from Miss Phin.
Friday, Feb. 15, Burapha – Stableford
Burapha was well set up on A and B loops, most of the white tees were on the blues and it made for an interesting day of golf. Out of 8 groups there was only one golfer who broke his handicap and holes 8, 9 and 10 were impossible to reach in regulation. The course was packed but in great condition and the weather was perfect.
There was a countback between Mark Brosnan and Graham Beaumont for the minor podium places, both scoring 32 points with Graham taking fourth and Mark fifth. AJ Beasley took third with a fine 35 points, Dougie Crowe, playing to his 9 handicap, took second with 36 and Colm Lawler filled the top spot with a great 38 points.
Colin Goon got the only 2 of the day.
