Tuesday, Jan. 25, Pleasant Valley – Monthly P.A.G.S. Tournament
It was another fantastic turnout for our first monthly P.A.G.S. tournament of the year and considering 112 golfers took part, things ran reasonably smoothly. There were very high scores in all four divisions with all the winners scoring 40pts or more. Everybody seemed to enjoy the event, even the ones that did not play so well.
We have a new set of rules laid out for this year, a copy of which is pinned up on the notice board in the clubhouse so your comments and suggestion are welcome. Before we go on to the technical prizes, a quick mention of the players who scored 40pts or more: Patrick Engels 43pts Mark Slinn & Hildur 41pts, & Colin Gregg 40pts. Also we had two players Pier Cere & Russell Exley who remarkably scored eagle ‘2’s on two of the par fours. Well played all of you!

Almost everybody commented on the excellent barbecue laid on by the guys from the Fairways – it was even better than normal – and after the presentation the festivities went on well into the night.
Friday, Jan. 27, Greenwood – Stableford
This must have been the busiest golf course in Thailand today as all three nines were totally booked from early morning until late afternoon. Amazingly the round only took roughly 15mins longer than average. It was so busy that they had to draft in as many caddies from the surrounding courses as possible, and they still did not have enough. Lots of golfers never had candies for several holes.

Now this just goes to show what giving specially reduced rates can achieve. Hopefully other courses will take note of this!
On to the golf and we had an excellent turnout due to the specially reduced rates for large groups, so two divisions. Surprisingly only three players managed to break par: Barry Wellings, John Grahem and Bob Edwards, and they were all in the A Flight.
Near pins went to Rick Odjers, Andres Grunenburg, Paul Smith and John Grahem.
A Flight
1st Barry Wellings (5) 38pts
2nd John Grahem (10) 37pts
3rd Bob Edwards (10) 37pts
PAGS C-Flight winner Mark Slinn (left).
B Flight
1st Rick Odjers (17) 34pts
2nd Andres Grunenburg (14) 33pts
3rd Roy Dayton (23) 32pts
