Well it took a four-way count back to sort out A Flight but if you’re going to have a day you might as well have the whole enchilada, and that is what ‘Broad more’ Bob Newell did at the monthly medal Sunday. He did not win the medal but he did stand proudly on top of the Podium in A Flight, and beside his winning pink envelope Bob also received a jar of George’s famous Pattaya pickles. In addition he picked up a staggering 16,500 baht back at the presentation as his name was drawn out of the barrel.
Medal winner Jerry McCarthy (right) receives his prizes.
An investigation as to how Kevin “You know who” only picked up the silver is under way by the Irish Garda. Terry Mangan is Kevin’s only witness as he was awarded the bronze. J-P Gasser was not available for comment, he was speechless and in a daze.
It was left to B Flight to provide the monthly medal winner for the month of December as Irishman Ferry McCarthy put together a best of the day net 69. For his fine effort Jerry picked up a Lewiinski’s lead crystal engraved whiskey glass and a bottle of Jameson’s. He also gets an invite to the Gold medal to be played very soon.
Jerry was followed in by ‘Santa’ Claude Harder who was the beneficiary of a favorable inward nine which gave him the edge over Dave Driscoll.
Mike ‘the mechanic’ Craighead found it difficult in the red division as he was not alone, but Mike persevered with the old saying ladies before gents being completely ignored. Mike has now became the most decorated golfer in Pattaya, as he adds another lead crystal engraved wine glass to his ever growing collection. Needles to say Mike joins Jerry in the year end Gold medal comp.
Patrick Kelly was the low gross winner with a net75 while J-P Gasser, Paul Bray, Alain Bellec, Dave Driscoll, and Mike Craighead divvied up the 2’s pot.
Tuesday, Dec. 13, Royal Lakeside – Stableford
A Flight
1st Patrick Kelly (+2) 38pts
2nd Francis Goyons (9) 34pts
B Flight
1st Merle Humphreys (19) 35pts
2nd Terry Mangan (14) 34pts
Bob’s lucky day.
Only one man, Peter ‘+2’ Kelly showed the right stuff as he was the only player to better par on the day, a great effort considering his stingy +2 handicap. Peter’s 38 points were four clear of Francis Goyons as he rounded out the flight. The lads found the course to be in excellent condition and it has gone through some very tough alterations.
In B Flight Merle Humphreys filled the top spot with 35 points. Terry ‘red card’ Mangan, with treachery unknown to the young Irishman Pat Reagan, took the count back for the second place.
Francis Goyons disappointment in finishing second in the senior flight did not last long as he carded the only ‘2’ of the day.
Wednesday, Dec. 14, St. Andrews – Stableford
A Flight
1st J-P Gasser (13) 42pts
2nd Michele Sancillo (8) 38pts
B Flight
1st Lew Szigligeti (18) 42pts
2nd John White (22) 38pts
The week wrapped up with a trip to the Desmond Muirhead’s designed monster St Andrews. J-P Gasser and Lou ‘the thunder from down under’ Szigligeti were co-men of the match as they posted superb 42 point joint scores on the day in A Flight and B Flight’s respectively. Gasser was followed in by Michele Sancillo on 38 points.
Lou ‘the thunder from down under’, who is playing out of his skin at the moment, was four strokes clear of John White. Interestingly both flights required the same scores.
No 2’s were carded so it’s a double rollover on Monday.
Back at Lewiinski’s and after a few sherbets it was time to say good bye to the Principal, ‘Broad more’ Bob, Lou Zigzag and the caddy to the stars Lee Adelly as they leave for a two week holiday to find the Yeti in Nepal climbing mount Everest. I will let you know how they got on in a couple of weeks.
