PSC Golf from Siam Country Resort
Tuesday, Feb. 17, Pleasant Valley – Stableford
When we went to Pleasant Valley on Tuesday, we were, as always, wondering how wet it would be and we were not disappointed, it was wet again. It seems the green-keepers are always watering the course at the wrong moments. Another point of Pleasant Valley is the habit they made to start on the 10th hole. Nobody likes to start on the 10th hole and then hear the grumbling of the players.
Notwithstanding the question marks about the course, the scores were actually quite good. Paul Davies (H/cap 31) continued his good form and was the runner up today with 39 points. However, number 1 today was Sam Gettinby (24) with a great 40-pointer.

Only two near pins were claimed, by Jonathan Pratt and Willem Lasonder.
Thursday, feb. 19, Pattavia – Stableford
On Thursday we went to Pattavia and were lucky to have an early start and so could finish just before the rain came. The course here is always in good condition but the greens are a challenge for everybody.
No high scores today and we saw a close finish between George Gamble and Jonathan Pratt. George Gamble (24) was the winner with 34 points, just beating Jonathan (11) by one point.
Jonathan also won the only near pin prize of the day.
Note: Siam Country Resort, Restaurant & Bar is located just off Siam Country Club Rd, after going under the arch past the 7/11, turn right after 50 meters, with the venue on the left another 200 meters along. Golf from here is generally played on Tuesday & Thursday, with the Resort hosting prompt presentations on both days. As a PSC affiliated venue we welcome all golfers, including ladies & seniors (>60s) who have opted for the “Silver” tee option. Call 089 253 5440 (Willem Lasonder) for scheduling or enquiries.
