Sunday, June 23, St. Andrews – Stableford
A Flight
1st Claude Harder (14) 38pts
2nd Frank Bonningen (12) 35pts
B Flight
1st Nelly Stoer (21) 39pts
2nd Jean LaRoche (18) 35pts
Today’s comp was moved to nearby St Andrews as Green Valley was host to a Major Thai event. There was no man of the match this day but it was not due to lack of performance. It was because the best player was a gal, Aussie belle Nelly Stoer. Nelly, with a sparkling 39 points, took B Flight as Canadian Jean LaRoche shot a fine 35 points for the silver.

Monsieur Claude Harder, tired of seeing his mate JP on the podium week in week out, put his foot dawn and carded a very respectably 38 points. Claude was three strokes clear of Frank Bonningen.
Claude, Josh Usher and Simon Spalding shared the 2’s pot.
Tuesday, June 25, Khao Kheow – Stableford
1st Nick Shaw (18) 35pts
2nd Colin Davis (19) 34pts
A relatively modest group, attributed to the season and Freddy’s Birthday bash on Wednesday, took on the favourite of many – the Pete and Perry Dye creation Khao Kheow. Nick Shaw seized the opportunity as he was man of the match as his 35 points was the top score on the day. ‘The Donkey’, never one to miss an opening, slid into second on 34 points.
No 2’s were recorded so it was a rollover on Friday.
Wednesday, June 26, Plutaluang N & West – Stableford
1st Tom Gorey (20) 37pts
2nd Jimmy Day (18) 37pts
3rd Nick Odnoral (20) 35pts
Today Lewiinski’s and Freddy’s friends from around the Pattaya area celebrated Freddy’s Birthday at Plutaluang Navy course. Every hole was sponsored, with a chance to even win a motorbike on one hole, so lots of prizes were on offer. The course was in excellent condition and played very long from the white tee’s (6612yds) the scores reflected the difficulty on the day.
History suggests that the consistency of the fairway lie can help the higher handicapper find the grove and it did today as the Irish pair of Co. Wexford’s Tom Gorey and Co, Wicklow’s Jimmy ‘good’ Day were co-men of the match with excellent 37 point returns. The resulting count back gave the Wexford man Tom the top podium spot as Jimmy had to settle for the second step.
Aussie Nick Odnoral filled the podium with a count back win over ‘Broadmore’ Bob, both locked on 35 points.
Back at Freddy’s bar, the Ferdinand Bar on Soi Diana, it was party time with the presentation followed by a Lewiinski’s famous buffet and a super raffle which was won by Nick Shaw. Everybody wished Freddy a happy birthday and for a wonderful day was had by all.
Friday, June 28, Crystal Bay A & B – Stableford
A Flight
1st Kevin Rogers (10) 36pts
2nd Takeshi Hakozaki (10) 36pts
3rd JP Maffray (12) 36pts
B Flight
1st Aiden Murray (24) 40pts
2nd Nick Shaw (18) 35pts
3rd Peter Henshaw (210 35pts
The competitive week was rounded off by Aiden Murray standing atop the B Flight podium with a splendid 40 points as he took the flight and man of the match honours. He was also the only player to better his handicap on the day and the quality of his round was emphasized by the fact that his score was five clear of the quality duo of Nick Shaw and Irishman Peter Don O’Corleone Henshaw; the luck of the Irish deserted Peter as Nick sneaked the silver.
Kevin Rogers took the honours in A Flight as he won the a three-way count back. Kevin’s 23points on the back nine easily beat Takeshi Hakozaki San (18) and the golden boy JP Maffray (15), the two other players with 36 points.
Kevin also had the last say as he carded a brace of ‘2’s to claim the pot.
