PSC golf from the Fairways Golf Society
Monday, Feb. 7, Khao Kheow – Stableford
When we arrived today we were allotted C & A courses and not one of the thirty four golfers playing managed to play to their handicap.
The competition was close, especially in the B flight where three people finished on one over par so there was a count-back for all three places. Jan Van Spelling had to settle for second place after his better half Thea beat him 18-16 on the back nine. Terry Fox was pushed back into third place on a 12 -11 back six.

Wednesday, Feb. 9, Crystal Bay – Stableford
With the large field again today split into two divisions the cut off was 0 to 15 & 16 to 28.
Only one golfer managed to break par today, Dave Booton, and I think he must have had three shredded wheats for breakfast as he took the B flight with a great round of 40 points, a massive 5 shots better than the next best score. Well played Dave.
Near pins went to Gary Saunders (2), Dave Dunn and Dave Booton.
A Flight
1st Gary Saunders (14) 35pts
2nd Scott Dobbin (0) 34pts
3rd Andre Vandyk (15) 32pts

1st David Booton (21) 40pts

Friday, Feb. 11, Greenwood – Stableford
We were allocated B & C courses on our arrival today and found them both to be in excellent condition, with the greens were a little on the slow side but very true. There was also a light breeze and conditions were ideal for golf.
David Booton.
The A flight was taken by Billy Vickers with a very good round of 38 points whilst in the B flight the still improving (muscles from Brussels) Patrick Engels took the pot with a massive 41 points to hold off (steady Eddie) Tony Duthie who took second place. Mark Slin, who had surgery on his neck earlier in the week (which probably helped him keep his head still) came in third with in B flight with 34 points.
Near pins went to Joop Medze, Mike Winterburn, Ian Blakewell and Mike Waltchek.
