PSC golf from Lewiinski’s Golf Society
Sunday, Sept. 25, Green Valley – Stableford
1st Barry Copestake (15) 42pts
2nd Gareth Gill (7) 40pts
3rd Jan Eriksen (17) 39pts
Near Pins: No 4 Jan Eriksen; No 9 Alain Bellec; No 12 Bob Newell; No 16 Barry Copestake.
On a day when the numbers were a bit modest due to the Hua-Hin road trip that Pierre had put together, the man on fire Barry ‘The Boot’ Copestake returned with a good bit of zeal, as he enjoyed a two shot gap over the field with a match winning 42 splendid points.
Barry is making a habit of putting the boot in as it was about four weeks ago in the same Sunday comp he put a 44 point lashing on the gang. In fact last Sunday’s winner Gareth Gill thought he had more than likely won again with his rock solid 40 points, but it takes more than 40 points to— you got it – fill Barry’s boots! Barry’s hob nail boot business took a giant step forward as he received an order to kit out the infamous Scottish Bukie boot boys gang (thanks Reg).
Barry Copestake.
Following Barry and Gareth onto the podium was Jan ‘the silent assassin’ Eriksen just a stroke adrift. The principal was all fingers and thumbs as his 38 points was good for nowt.
Jan Eriksen, Alain Bellec, Wayne Chatfield, Sim Davis and Bob Newell just about got their money back in the 2,s comp.
Tuesday, Sept. 27, Pattana – Stableford
1st Fergus O’Brien (28) 37pts
2nd Christy Knight (22) 36pts
With a gang of around 20 solid core society members off to Hau-Hin for the week, a small but quality and spirited field took on the Gussan designed Pattana.
Fergus the ‘Irish rover’ O’Brien took the top notch in the one flight today with a quality 38 points. Fergus was also the only player to better par.
Hot on Fergus’s well worn heels was the man from Swords Co. Dublin, Christy ‘Good’ Knight just a shot shy for the second spot.
Peter Don O’Corleone Henshaw slotted home the days only 2 to make it an Irish clean sweep.
Wednesday, Sept. 28, St. Andrews – Stableford
1st Billy Britton (13) 33pts
2nd Colin Davis (16) 33pts
3rd Peter Henshaw (14) 33pts
The society, usually brimming with bravado when they attack St. Andrews, was a bit meek on this day as the entire field failed to better par.
Irishman Terry Mangan has mentored Billy Britton well on his swing, but he must have taught him how to play the inward nine as the excelling student had the best homeward nine in the A Flight trio of himself Colin ‘the Donkey’ Davis and Peter Don O’Corleone Henshaw. The Donkey took second strictly on the strength of turning his card in. I am quite sure the Irish pair ganged up on the Donkey.
Peter Henshaw did get his money back as he posted the only 2 of the day.
Friday, Sept. 30, Eastern Star – Stableford
1st Ed Delaney (25) 29pts
2nd Billy Britton (15) 27pts
I know there is nothing in a 29 accumulation of points that might in and of its self warrant the headlines, nor is it enough to say that playing the white tees at Eastern Star that one passes through villages on the way. But consider the scribe has fifty two of these titles to come up with and that twelve are supplied by the Monthly Medal winners. As he and the Beatles tell, “it don’t come easy!”
In Eds defense and the defense of the handful of orienteers who joined him, he did put the brakes on the red hot fellow Irishman Paddy Billy Britton. Just to rub it in Ed notched the only 2 of the day to complete another Irish rout.
