It was probably the closest a Sunday winner has come to losing the title slot and that is no slur on this week’s winner Bruce Anderson with a sparkling 40 points winning total. The demon that nearly overshadowed Bruce was an avalanche of 2’s. There were thirteen of them in all, a circumstance that nearly forced this scribe to abandon the traditional listing of same. Ascending to acknowledgement in this prose, the duet of 2’s posted by JP Maffray, Claude Harder and Peter LeNoury.
Jimmy ‘two shots’ Elphick.
Bruce’s A Flight winning score was two clear of pay window specialist Paul Smith and a further two of Irelands Pat Regan.
Stories were abundant in B Flight as well as Gerry ‘the Irish rover’ Roche had every reason to expect his 39 points to hold up for the win. Aussie Lou ‘walkabout’ Zig zag took the second spot on the podium with a useful 38 points leaving the Welsh wonder Phil Davies to round out the flight with a solid 37 points.
Tuesday, Oct. 28, Khao Kheow – Stableford

To start the week out right, the society decided to take on the favourite of many, Khao Kheow.
C Flight seemed to weather the ride slightly better than the A and B Flight compatriots. Jimmy ‘two shots’ Elphick was the man of the match with a splendid 42 points, six more than C Flight mate Ausie Lou ‘walkabout’ Zigzag, and yet another four more than David Kirkstuik.
Golfer of the month Paul Smith (left) with Peter Henshaw.
It was nice to see Irishman Matt Doyle, a bit of a stranger to B Flight, top it out with a steady even par round. Matt was four clear of fellow Irishman Matt Cronin and Colin ‘the Donkey’ Davis. Matt nipped the Donkey on the inward nine to hold the silver.
It was the Irish again in A Flight as Connie Walsh, continuing to play effectively despite an ever-decreasing handicap, stood atop the premier lot with a solid 37 points, just two points more than Dave Palmer and one more than Rob Still.
Aiden Murray, Walter Baechli. Jim Elphick and Lou Szigligeti shared the 2’s pot.
Friday, Oct. 31, Silky Oak – Stableford
A Flight
1st Mike Holmes (11) 36pts
2nd Vic Hester (14) 35pts
3rd Adam Burton (13) 33pts
B Flight
1st Aiden Murray (17) 35pts
2nd Colin Davis (17) 33pts

C Flight
1st Lou Szigligeti (22) 37pts
2nd Eddie Henshaw (26) 34pts
3rd Jim Elphick (25) 33pts
With Wednesday’s game cancelled due to the inclement weather, a very large group turned out to play Silky Oak on Friday but the weather produced the worst storm ever seen by this scribe; the rain and lightning was so fierce that most decided to pack up for the day. Amazingly some managed to complete the fixture.
The lads were led in by Ausie Lou ‘walkabout’ Zigzag with a top of the day 37 points, which topped out C Flight and gave him the man of the match. Irishman Eddie Henshaw followed Lou up the podium steps with 34 points, leaving the title boy Jimmy ‘two shots’ Elphick to tidy up flight.
Top spot in A Flight belonged to Mike Holmes with a solid even par round. Mike was one clear of Vic ‘the inflictor’ Hester and two more from Adam Barton.
The middling flight was the domain of pay window specialist Aiden Murray on 35 points. The ‘Donkey’ picked up the silver with 34 leaving Pierre ‘the magician’ Bietry to close the flight on 33 by way of a count back over William Peach. As expected, Paul Smith won the golfer of the month award.
Vic Hester, Colin Davis and R Whitworth shared the 2’s pot.
