Erik Donnestad.
There was also a farewell for Trevor Schirmer who is off to Oz for a short break from the rigours of Pattaya and who will be sorely missed, especially his assistance with the on course organization on the golf days.

The day’s competition was moved at the last moment after several negative reports regarding the condition of the planned course had been received and many of the usual suspects failed to show up at the allotted time, which meant that the field was a lot smaller than would have been expected.
There were no 2’s in either of the divisions
Friday, October 28, Greenwood – Stableford
CSS 71
1st Alan Pilkington (9) 39pts
2nd Erik Donnestad (4) 35pts

4th Shuichi Kodaka (17) 34pts
5th Ole Stamnes (26) 33pts
6th Yukio Kikuchi (19) 33pts
Once again there were no 2’s in either division.
Back at The Haven there were welcome backs for Lyle Blaw and the Mahiyuya Tour from Japan consisting Yukio Kikuchi, Masami Tagaki and Hisahiko Makino led as usual by their intrepid guide Yasuo. There was also a farewell for another year for Erik Donnestad, who was returning to Norway after his very successful golfing holiday in the Land of Smiles, with his pockets jingling.
We will certainly miss Erik’s gentle manner and charm and perhaps a few more hopefuls will be in with chance of getting onto the podium while he is away.
