PSC golf from The Golf Club
Monday, Oct. 15, Green Valley (White tees) – Stableford
1st Ben Denham (4) 38pts
2nd Henry O’Brien (20) 37pts
3rd Mike Newbert (13) 36pts
4th Phil Smedley (14) 36pts
October is turning out to be a unique month of golf, as the weeks turn out to be dominated by one golfer per week who has a hot streak and takes the spoils in most of the comps. That was the week that was for Captain Phil, as he quietly and calmly walked off with 2 wins and a podium position in the three rounds of the week. Mike Newbert took week 1, Nick Handscombe had week 2 wrapped up, and now Phil Smedley runs away with week 3!
Mike Newbert, Ben Denham, Capt. Phil Smedley & Henry O’Brien.
Phil took the lads by the hand on our regular Monday venue of Rayong Green Valley, and did a fine job of “herding cats” as we call the duties of captaincy. It was another lucky day of good weather as the localized rain was kept at bay for the most part. The course was once again in fine condition and the lads came back as a very happy lot indeed.
Phil also managed to take 4th place, as we had a good enough turnout to award those “handsome man vouchers” to the top 4 players. But the week was going to be Phil’s week as it would turn out, but more on that later.
Third place went to the Montauk Mauler himself, one Mr. Michael Newbert. Mike is a consistent golfer who is usually in the frame in our TGC outings and plays a sharp mental game. Henry O’Brien was the only golfer to shoot 37 points and took sole second, but young gun Ben Denham rose to the top with his winning 38 on the day. Ben plays off 4 (wouldn’t that be nice!) and guys like that make very few mistakes. Well done boys!
Wednesday, Oct. 17, Bangpra (White tees) – Stableford
1st Phil Smedley (14) 37pts
2nd John Pierrel (11) 28pts
3rd Henry O’Brien (20) 27pts
Did you see the point table above? Phil devastated the competition and won by 9 strokes at the Bangpra comp this Wednesday to make it a cakewalk trip to the podium. Someone is doing everything right these days and the results speak for themselves.
The travelling golfer John Pierrel came in a distant second with 28 points and that legendary Scottish golfer Henry O’Brien must have been pretty surprised to find that a card with just 27 points on it was enough for third place honours. It must have been hell out there!
Friday, Oct. 19, The Emerald – The 19th Annual T.Q. Masters
The Tahitian Queen is a legendary Rock n’ Roll bar on Beach Road that has been going strong since 1978. The Golf Club takes great pride in organizing the T.Q. Masters for Woody and The Jesters. Please see the big write up in this paper for full details and photos, but we must congratulate Phil Smedley for his 1st Division win and Ross Schiffre, also from The Golf Club, for winning the Green Jacket!
