PSC golf from the The Fairways Golf Society
Monday, November 21, Crystal Bay – Stableford
This course is one of the best for value for money at the moment, so we had a good turnout with two divisions. Surprisingly the lower handicappers seemed to struggle as first place was taken by Tony Dauth on a three-way count back with a meagre 32 points (Frank Riley once again being the bridesmaid). Poor old Frank has not had a first place this trip after earlier this year cleaning up time and time again. Better luck next year Frank and Bon Voyage!
Don Carmody cruised to victory in the B flight with a blistering 39 points, leaving the rest of the field in his wake.
Near pins went to Tony Duthie, Bryan Neal, Simon Kendal & George Graham.
A Flight
1st Tony Dauth (0) 32pts
2nd Frank Riley (16) 32pts
3rd Steven Balfour (16) 32pts
B Flight
1st Don Carmody (25) 39pts
2nd Ken Meek (22) 35pts
3rd Bryan Neal (18) 35pts
Wednesday, November 23, Pattaya C.C. – Stableford
Just one division today with that man again Bryan Neal yet again coming in with 39 points for the win, with the rest of the field way behind. (When is the handicapper going to catch up with him?).
Monday’s B Flight winner, Don Carmody.
There was a bit of a problem after the start when the starter allowed the last group to tee off as a five-ball only to change his mind half way up the fairway. The ‘bus driver’ understandably spat out his dummy and walked off the course after playing only one shot, so he had to hang around for a few hours to drive the players back to the Fairways.
Near pins went to Andy Crabb, Richard Hurley, John Coetzee and Bob Moore.
1st Bryan Neal (18) 39pts
2nd Dave Lowe (8) 35pts
3rd John Coetzee (18) 34pts
4th Tony Duthie (20) 34pts
Friday, November 25, Greenwood – Stableford
Another day in paradise as the sun was shining down on us, tempered by a lovely cool breeze on a beautiful golf course. What more could you ask for … maybe a decent round of golf? Yes, you would have thought so, but it did not work out like that.
The scores returned were very mediocre to say the least. Four players recorded 32 points so it was a four-way count back to decide the places.
John Coetzee beat Tony Duthie for the second time this week on count back to take first place while even Bryan Neal, who had been on a tremendous run of form just lately, could not aspire to anything like 30 points.
Near pins went to Pier Cere, George Gambol (2) and Steven Balfour.
1st John Coetzee (18) 32pts
2nd Tony Duthie (20) 32pts
3rd Ken Meek (22) 32pts
4th Pier Cere (16) 32pts
