Sunday’s medal winner Bob Watson (right) with Colin Davis.
The man of the match and monthly medal winner for July 2013 was none other than Aussie Ace Bob Watson (one for the Aussies). Bob outpointed Ed ‘our man in the white house’ Wyckoff in a senior circuit count back, both locked on net 68’s. It should be noted that Bob’s score included six birdies and belies a gross 70. Bob also won the cut glass whiskey goblet, a non-transferable invite to the Gold medal to be held later in the year, and last but not least Bob’s name will be etched on the Lewiinski’s wall of shame.
Irishman Paul Heyworth rounded out the flight with a very commendable net 70.
Mick ‘nine holes’ Beresford managed to play all of the course and bettered Eddy ‘the Eagle’ Beilby on count back to fill the top podium place in the junior flight, whilst Barry ‘the boot’ Copestake started to give indications that improvement is on the way.
Tony ‘the Right Honorable’ Cotter, brother to Seamus Cotter – arguably one of Ireland’s top jockeys and golfing legend here at Lewiinski’s, was welcomed to the society.
Bill Brochart, Bob Newell, Mick Beresford and Jean LaRoche shared the 2’s pot.
Tuesday, July 16, Siam Plantation – Stableford
1st Nick Odnoral (18) 40pts
2nd John Pierrel (13) 38pts
3rd Nick Shaw (17) 36pts
It being the low season, the society tries to get out once or twice to some of the courses that are inordinately priced in the high season. This was an opportunity to play one of the newest courses in the Eastern Seaboard constellation – Siam Country Club Plantation.
The lads and lasses took on the Tapioca and Pineapple layouts. The white tees measure out at 6078 yards but seem to play somewhat shorter. That would certainly help explain the A Flight winning score of 40 points attributable to Aussie Ace Nick Odnoral. Nick’s excellent effort kept him two points clear of his podium mate John Pierrel. The balance of the podium was to be filled with a fellow who had an even par round but which one? The numbers went favorably for Nick Shaw but not for Freddy Startrek, he was left out in the cold counting the stars.
Nick Odnoral carded the only 2 of the day.
Wednesday, July 17, Burapha – Stableford
A Flight
1st Laurie McBride (13) 36pts
2nd Yves Moutier (15) 36pts
3rd Jim Bell (16) 35pts
B Flight
1st Rod Brown (19) 40pts
2nd Ed Delaney (26) 38pts
3rd Mike Jeffreys (19) 34pts
Rod Brown cited “never leaving himself a short putt” as the reason he was able to leave the field behind and stand atop the B Flight podium. He needed every trick in his well worn but extensive book of golf tricks to edge Ed ‘the computer whiz kid’ Delaney by 40 points to 38. Mike ‘the Welsh Wizard’ Jeffreys on 34 points was as unassuming as Mike would want – he drew no attention but managed to drag a little baht back to the cave.
Laurie McBride and Yves Moutier took the two top rungs in A Flight with only a count back separating their even par round efforts. Jim ‘AK47’ Bell, who has mastered his swing and now shows consistent progress on the course, took the bronze a shot adrift.
Rod Brown fired the only 2 of the day.
