Fairways Korat golf tour – Wednesday, June 22, Bonanza G.C. – Stableford
After the three hour journey to get here we found that we had the course to ourselves and the weather was ideal for golf. Some of us old timers found it tough after sitting in the bus all that time as the joints had ceased up but we marched on as old soldiers do.
Far left Tony Duthie and far right Richard Line, both two time winners on the tour.
The ‘2’s pot was taken by John Coetzee (2) and Shane Ruddle. Other first day results were as follows:
1st Richard Line (10) 37pts
2nd John Coetzee (17) 35pts
3rd Rob Davis (17) 31pts
Thursday, June 23, Panorama G.C. – Stableford
It was only a short 45 min trip to the course, with many people still suffering from hangovers from the night before.
Shane the bus driver eagled the first hole and birdied the last three but still only scored 34 points, but he also had the only ‘2’.
Our Irish navigator Brinny Christie it seemed did not know his left hand from his right and managed to get us lost so the return journey took two and a half hours. But to everybody’s amusement we thanked him for the sightseeing tour.

Friday, June 24, Korat Country Club – Stableford
There was a bit of an altercation while we were waiting to tee-off on the first as one of an Australian four-ball finishing on the eighteenth hooked his ball right into the heart of us and never shouted four or came to retrieve his ball and apologise. Anyway it all soon calmed down and we got away in very blustery conditions. It was also very nice that a few of the local residents joined us for the day.
There were no ‘2’s today and the winners were as follows:
A Flight
1st Michael Wicke (10) 36pts
2nd Shane Ruddle (0) 34pts
3rd Richard Line (10) 33pts
B Flight
1st Rob Davis (17) 36pts
2nd Peter Klaus (21) 33pts
3rd George Wilson (18) 31pts
Saturday, June 25, Kabinburi G.C. – Stableford
On a last minute decision we decided to stop off at Kabinburi on our way back and have one final round. We were all so pleased we did as the course was in magnificent condition and the green fee was only 600 baht after 1pm, which for a Saturday was fantastic value.
There was only one ‘2’ won again by Shane but no one minded as he got the drinks in yet again.
A Flight
1st Brad Dippie (8) 32pts
2nd Richard Line (10) 31pts
3rd Shane Ruddle (0) 30pts
B Flight
1st Tony Duthie (19) 32pts
2nd Rob Davis (17) 30pts
3rd Frank Riley (15) 29pts
