PSC Golf from Lewiinski’s Golf Society
Sunday, July 31, Green Valley – Stableford
1st Peter Henshaw (27) 43pts
2nd Peter LeNoury (14) 39pts
3rdKevin Hamilton (22) 35pts
With the Lewiinski’s medal just round the corner, a fair contingent of golfers made the effort to play on this Sunday. The course at Green Valley is slowly getting back to near it best and is a pleasure to play.
The winner on the day, and probably the most consistent Lewiinski’s player of the year so far, was Peter ‘the silver surfer’ Henshaw with a staggering 43 points, by far the best on the day. Old friend Peter LeNoury filled the second step on the podium with a fine 39 points while ‘Big’ Kevin Hamilton, who has recently returned from a spell back in England, closed the flight prize winners with a steady 35 pointer despite a couple of minor set backs on the outward nine.
Monday, August 1, Pattana A & C – Stableford
1st Merle Humphreys (21) 42pts
2nd Kevin Rogers (12) 42pts
3rd Ken Hole (18) 39pts
The Gussan designed Pattana is a well maintained course with island par three’s and par sixes and very challenging greens, and what must be one of the best clubhouses on the Eastern Seaboard.
With no letup in the heat and humidity it was a surprise to see such good returns today. It is not often that someone shoots 42 points on this course and does not win. Well it happened to Aussie star Kevin Rogers as he lost out on top spot to Merle Humphreys on a count back. The third podium spot was filled by the man who is always there or there abouts, Ken Hole.
Wednesday, August 3, Treasure Hill – Stableford
1st Ken Hole (18) 39pts
2nd Jim Elphick (29) 37pts
3rd Kevin Rogers (12) 36pts
The Lewiinski’s gang travelled up the highway seven to tackle the Yoshiazu Kato designed Treasure Hill today and found the course in good condition, with the usual firm greens and well grassed fairways. There was no letup in the heat and very high humidity though.
Surprisingly the scores were very good as Ken Hole, obviously unsatisfied with Monday’s third place finish, decided to put the pedal down and his fine 39 point effort was rewarded with the top podium spot and the man of the match honours. Ken was two strokes clear of Jimmy ‘two shots’ Elphick while two Aussie stars went to a count back to decide who closed the flight; Kevin Rogers battling with the newly arrived back Paul Bray and the scales of justice leaning in Kevin’s favour.
Friday, August 5, Burapha – Stableford
1st John Harrison (12) 41pts
2nd Vic Wright (17) 37pts
3rd Walter Baechli (14) 36pts
A perennial favourite, Burapha was the site of Friday’s outing and the task at hand was the C+D layouts. The course, as always, was in fine condition with fast but true greens. The sky was overcast and the heat and humidity was very high.
The weather did not deter John Harrison who posted the best points total of anyone in the field, a sparkling 41 points for the man of the match honours. Vic Wright followed John up the podium steps with a fine 37 point total.
One of the most effervescent personalities, Walter Baechli, who would not look out of place on a ski slope, and Aussie Paul the ‘Thunder from Downunder’ Bray were only separated by a count back, both with steady even par rounds but Walter has been on the podium too many times to lose a count back as he left Paul with his second successive count back loss.
