The always steady, always near the top Ajit Amin showed his mettle today as he garnered the man of the match honours and top spot in C Flight with a splendid 41 points, beating the field by a single stroke. Fellow C Flight mate Barry Tregurtha followed Ajit closely up the podium steps just one stroke back while Irishman John O’Neil filled the flight with a solid 38pts.
Paul Bray.
Andy Kelleher led home the first division, albeit by just one stroke from Dominic Downey. Three players went to count back to fill the flight; Ed ‘our man in the White house’ Wyckoff, Mark Stanley and ‘Broadmore’ Bob, needless to say Broadmore’s count back woes continued as he and Mark got to see the presentation from a bar stool.
Pat Regan was the top man in B Flight with a flight wining 37 points. Fellow ‘Mick’ Peter ‘the silver surfer’ Henshaw followed Pat with a non-threatening 33 points and he was one clear of our very own Bionic man Barry ‘the boot’ Copestake (both knees replaced).
Only one 2 today and it was Dave ‘the fisherman’ Driscoll who received a society record prize.

Well it started with a lady being the woman of the match and it ended with her helping herself to a slice of the 2’s pot also. Ayoko Pueschi, ever-improving, had a spectacular C Flight winning 42 points. Ayoko was followed in C Flight by Bruce Berlin and his even par round. Eddy Kelly snapped up the bronze with a count back winning 37 points over Irishman Gerry Roche.
Sunday’s winner Ajit Amin (right) with Colin Davis.
The ever-flamboyant Walter Baechli made yet another pay window appearance as he took B Flight with a tremendous 40 points. Ajit Amin followed his Sunday win, taking second place as he edged Aussie star Nick Odnoral on count back as both tied on 34 points.
Ian Pickles added a bit of spice to the premier flight with a rock solid 37 points. Irish-American Andy Kellaher, showing fine form along with Ajit, followed Sunday’s flight win with the silver spot after an even par round. Tom McManus closed the flight a shot back.
Seven players shared the 2’s pot with Ayoko.
Tuesday, Jan. 28, Burapha A&B – Stableford
A Flight
1st Andy Kellaher (9) 41pts
2nd Steve Mabbett (9) 38pts
3rd Reg McKay (13) 35pts
B Flight
1st Freddy Starbeck (15) 37pts

C Flight
1st Sean Soden (25) 41pts
2nd Ulrik Sinding (33) 40pts
3rd Christian Boysen (22) 37pts
There was the red hot Andy Kellaher, coming so close to finalizing his claim to the vaunted bold print with another A Flight winning and co-man of the match 41 pts. Steve Mabbett claimed the silver with a very useful 38 while Scotland’s Reg ‘Buckie boot boy McKay came home strong to have a count back advantage over the unlucky Bert Gobert.
Dropping down to C Flight we saw co-man of the match, Ireland’s Sean Soden, standing atop of the podium with his 41 points. Sean was one clear of Ulrik Sinding and a further three clear of Christian Boysen.
Ah yes, Freddy Starbeck took the interim flight with a steady 37 points while Ian Pickles garnered the silver two shots in arrears. A triumvirate of the Donkey, Maurice Roberts and Barry ‘the boot’ Copestake all vied for the bronze spot, but as everyone knows, the Donkey does not give anything away.
The lads must have been up the driving range as they again holed eight ‘2’s.
Wednesday, Jan. 29, Green Valley – Stableford
A Flight
1st Kieran Daly (7) 42pts
2nd Paul Bray (7) 41pts
3rd Eric Gobert (5) 40pts
B Flight
1st Ajit Amin (18) 40pts
2nd Bruce Berlin (24) 32pts
3rd Jim Lanzo (25) 31pts
The low handicappers showed their mettle at Green Valley with all the A Flight winning scores being 40 points or more. Leading the way with an excellent 42 points, which was the top score of the day, was Kieran Daly. Kieran was closely followed in by pay window specialist Aussie Paul Bray just one shot off the pace; sadly Bert Gobert’s fine 40 point effort was only good for the bronze. By my reckoning this means Kieran played to a one handicap, Paul to two and Eric to one – amazing!
B Flight had a 40-pointer from Ajit Amin, who joined Andy Kellaher with two wins and a second place for the week Ajit was a massive eight clear of Bruce Berlin. Bruce was one shot clear of the duo of Jim Lanzo and Jorn Finnerup with the former winning the count back.
Adrian Schmidt and Paul Bray split the 2’s pot.
Thursday, Jan. 30, Crystal Bay B&C – Stableford
A Flight
1st Tom McManus (13) 39pts
2nd Eric Gobert (5) 37pts
3rd JP Maffray (11) 37pts
B Flight
1st Maurice Roberts (15) 39pts
2nd Colin Davis (17) 38pts

C Flight
1st Aiden Murray (23) 36pts
2nd John O’Neil (20) 36pts
3rd Georges Troussier (22) 32pts
Apparently 37 points was the order of the day as both A Flight and B Flight were won with this total. The winner of A Flight was Tom McManus who was two clear of the duo of Eric Gobert and JP Maffray, both of whom had to be separated by count back with Eric having the more favourable dispersed back nine.
Maurice Roberts was the top man in B Flight and was one digit clear of the Donkey, who was a further one from Eddie Kelly.
The C Flight top spot went to a count back as both John O’Neil and Georges Troussier turned in even par rounds but the luck of the Irish held sway with the scales tipping in John’s favour.
Eric Gobert, JP Maffray and Thierry Petrement shared the 2’s pot.
Friday, Jan. 31, Pattavia Century – Stableford
A Flight
1st Paul Bray (7) 37pts
2nd Andy Kellaher (9) 36pts
3rd Pen Caruthers (13) 36pts
B Flight
1st Tom Gorey (19) 34pts
2nd Billy Briton (16) 34pts
3rd Peter McCann (18) 33pts
C Flight
1st Ulrik Sinding (33) 33pts
2nd Jorn Finnerup (26) 32pts
3rd Christian Boysen (22) 32pts
Friday’s fixture saw the society venture to the well maintained Pattavia Century. That suited Aussie star Paul Bray down to the ground as he was the only player to better par and his win secured him the golfer of the month award for January. Paul also had a hole in one – what a way to finish a holiday!
Paul was chased home by ex-headline boy Andy Kellaher and Scotland’s Pen Caruthers, both with solid even par rounds but the former had the better of the count back.
Co-Wexford man Tom Gorey took the honours in B Flight with 34 points as he outpointed Billy Briton. Three players squared up for the bronze – Peter McCann, Ajit Amin and Chris Barrett – with the count back favouring Peter as Ajit and Chris were left out in the cold.
Ulrik Sinding stood atop the C Flight podium on 33 points and Jorn Finnerup grabbed the silver thanks to a count back over the unlucky Christian Boysen.
