Sea Pines G.C. – Stableford
Our annual trip here to Hua Hin and we had 38 golfers out on the first day at the Sea Pines course. The majority of players loved this course, especially the last three holes along the beach going back to the clubhouse but the fairways were a bit scruffy.
We had a three division stableford competition for the four rounds and overall winners. Dave Edwards returned the best score of the day, winning division 1 with 37 points. Tim Hake was second one point behind and Pete Skinner beat Darryl Burkett on count-back for third after they both came in with 32 points each.
In division 2, Bob Poole beat John Carlin 19/17 on the back-nine after they were both locked on 34 points while Stuart Thompson was third with 33 and Dannie Larsen fourth on 31.
Rick Assi topped division 3 with 34 points and Gil Phillips beat Alan Bissell 15/14 after they both scored 32 each. Leo Adam was fourth on 29 points after beating Rod Howett on another count-back
