Dave LeHane put in an excellent three under return which will see his handicap reduce slightly but with certainly more to be lost in the near future.
Rodney Nabbe took second place after winning a count-back over Trevor Schirmer with a better 18 to 17, but it was a very happy return for Trevor to the top three of the podium after more than two years absence.
Mike Korney also won a count-back with a better 18 to 17 score to take fourth place and leave Arthur Todd on fifth. They were followed in by Jon Batty who for once found himself at the bottom of the podium with the group.
Jon Batty had the lone 2 in the first division whilst Mike Korney did the same in the second division.

4th Chris Ross (27) 32pts
Once again two division were needed with the cut being set at 16 and below for the first division. This was led in by Grep Ignatieff, as the division strangely all struggled to get to terms with the course. Rodney Nabbe took another second place in the week after winning a multiple countback with a best 19 points after a horrendous front nine. Peter Skinner then took third with a better 17 to 15 to leave Dave Edwards in fourth place.
The second division produced the best points score of the day as Shuichi Kodaka amassing 36 points, which must have seemed highly improbable to the lower handicappers of the day. Arthur Todd took second place and Masae Saito third after winner a count- back over fourth placed Chris ross with a better 18 to 13.
There were no 2s in the first division but Markku Tynell slotted in a very nice won the sweep the pool in the second division.

Pattaya Country Club continues to improve generally and particularly in the area of the greens as the good scores attested on the day in both divisions.

The second division was taken by Brendan Dunne after he too won a count-back with a better 18 to 17 to leave Tony O’Neill in second. Markku Tynell was third and Fumiaki Matsuura completed the podium in fourth.
