PSC Golf from Siam Country Resort Pattaya

Tuesday, Jan. 19, Crystal Bay – Stableford

Tuesday we went with 4 groups to Crystal Bay.  The course was in good condition, but around the greens sometimes too wet.  The weather was not too bad, but always a threat of rain in the air and the last groups were caught by a big shower as they were finishing their rounds.

The scores were very good, with Tony Wakeling (H/cap 17) taking third place with 38 points and the battle for top spot seeing Paul Davies (28) just edge Paddy Devereux (20) on count back, both coming in with 41 points each.

Joop Bijsterbosch.

The nears pin awards went to Jonathan Pratt with two, Bob Edwards and Tom Murray.

Thursday, Jan. 21, Pattavia – Stableford

Pattavia was our venue for the Thursday with three groups taking part.  The course and the greens were in good condition and we had an enjoyable day.

The scores were again good today but the flying Dutchman in our midst, Joop Bijsterbosch (31), just blew everybody away with an incredible 50 points.  Second was our guest player from Dubai, Paul (8), with 37 points and George Gamble (25) came third with 36, beating Phill Waite (9) on count back.

The nears pins went to Bob Edwards (twice), Paul and Neil Harvey.
