A field of 93 players teed it up for Christy Knight’s Captain’s Day, so it was all to play for including a Mercedes KLS car for anyone lucky enough to sink a hole in one on the short par-three twelfth hole. Once again the conditions proved to be a little harder than most of the players would have wished, although the condition of the course could not be faulted, with the greens playing fast and true.

Three players were co-men of the match with A Flight’s JP Maffray emerging the match winner in the resulting count back. JP received the magnificent lead crystal glass engraved trophy.
John Nalty, Mike Allidi and Ed Wyckoff were all tied on even par rounds and the first count back of the day (and there was many) dictated that they ascend the podium in that order. Irishman Connie Walsh edged Peter ‘the right honourable’ LeNoury on count back for fifth spot.
D Flight provided the overall runner-up in the shape of Aiden Murray and his 38 points. Jim Elphick and John Hartigan were separated by count back, both three shots adrift of Aiden with Jim holding the silver. Ulrik Sindling filled the fourth place as smoking Joe Tynan rounded out the flight.
The third overall spot was to be filled by C Flight’s Barry Tregurtha with his 38 points. Barry was followed by Irishman Tom Gory a stroke back, while Colm Mullen was a further stroke back from Tom. Eddy ‘the Eagle’ Beilby edged Nick Shaw for the fourth spot as his back nine was more favourably dispersed.
Terry Mangan was the main benefactor in B Flight with a steady even par round. Terry was one clear of a pair of players tied a shot back, namely Brian ‘the unbalanced’ Wilkinson and Chris Martin. Chris conceded the count back as long as Brian did not tell him about his game (and thank your lucky stars). Time to replace the batteries in the calculator as it was out again as three vied on 33 pts but the luck of the Irish held sway for Tom Byrne as he got the fourth spot.
Nobody got to drive the car home but there were five 2’s from Ed Wyckoff, Chaten Patel, Ben Durham, Tom Byrne and Bruce Walters.
Back at Lewiinski’s and after the presentation, incoming Captain Christy Knight thanked everyone who took part, the Lewiinski’s staff for all their hard work, the outgoing Captain for turning up, and the scribe for his fine write-ups (his words not mine).
Brad and Nong raised 12,300 baht on the par 12th par three ‘hit the green comp’ and an anonymous donor doubled that amount before it was added to the 20,000 kindly donated by the Pattaya Sports Club, making a total of 42,300 baht for the Baan Jing Jai orphanage.

The ‘Eagle’ was followed up the podium steps by the steady Jim Lanzo on 37 points and Brian ‘the unbalanced’ Wilkinson closed the flight with a even par round.

John ‘the Irish rover’ Hartigan and Michael Delatraz were co-men of the match as they posted joint best 40 points scores. John was followed in the junior flight by Barry Oats a single stroke back. Jimmy ‘two shots’ Elphick made his second visit to the pay window in as many games but needed a count back decision over Tom Morrisroe who took the fourth place due to the large turnout, this was Tom’s second pay window visit as well.
Michael was chased home in the senior flight by a trio of players all with even par rounds, Eric Gobert, Connie Walsh and Dominic Downey, and the following count back dictated that they climb the podium steps in that order.
Top man in the middle flight was Freddy’ the quite one’ Startreck who was also trailed in by a group of three players on even par rounds, Jim Lanzo, the irrepressible Terry ‘pork chop’ Mangan and Michael Stafford who ascended the podium steps in that order.
Michael Delatraz, Pat Duane, Maurice Roberts, Mike Pearson and John Heaney shared the 2’s pot.

3rd Paul Gibson (28) 31pts
Thierry Petrement, everybody’s nice guy, dazzled most of the field with his man of the man of the match and A Flight winning spectacular 44 points. The only man near to him was B Flight’s Paul Robinson with 41 points.
Thierry was followed up the podium steps by Eric Gobert who bettered John Nalty’s even par round on count back. John was not to disappointed as he split a very healthy 2’s pot with Jim Lanzo.
Peter ‘the silver surfer’ Henshaw took the silver in B Flight three shots in arrears of Paul Robinson while Tony Dolphin rounded out the flight a further three shots back.
Irishman Jorn Finnerup made it two pay window visits this week as he sat atop the C Flight with a steady even par round. Jorn was one clear of Tom Morrisroe who the pay master knows by name after he made it three pay window visits in the week. Paul Gibson closed the flight with 31 points.
Thursday, Feb. 13, Crystal Bay B & C – Stableford
A Flight
1st Derek Winless (9) 40pts
2nd Max Scott (5) 34pts
3rd Maurice Roberts (14) 33pts
B Flight
1st Tom Gorey (19) 40pts

C Flight
1st Aiden Murray (23) 37pts
2nd Brad Robins (21) 36pts
3rd Michel Scaglione (24) 36pts
It was the Co. Wexford man Tom Gorey along with Derek Winless who vied for the man of the match award, both with 40 points each. Derek in A Flight was six clear of Aussie star Max Scott, although Max did have a half share of an excellent ‘2’s pot. Max was a further shot clear of Maurice Roberts and Pat ‘the Irish rover’ Hanafin. Maurice counted up better on the inward nine to capture the bronze as the luck of the Irish deserted Pat.
Tom’s 40 points in B Flight was followed by Paul Robinson a shot back and Charles Cunningham a further stroke off the pace.
Aiden Murray was the man to catch in C Flight and for the golfer of the month as his purple patch continues with 37 rock solid points. Aiden was a shot clear of Brad Robins and Michel Scaglione. Alas for Michel his acumen on the course did not transfer to the scorecard as Brad had the better of the count back.
Billy Briton was the player who got to share the 2’s pot with Max.
Friday, Feb. 14, Silky Oak –S tableford A Flight
1st Mike Allidi (3) 38pts
2nd Dominic Downey (12) 37pts
3rd Derek Winless (9) 36pts
B Flight
1st Gerry Roche (20) 34pts
2nd Colin Davis (18) 32pts
3rd Terry Mangan (15) 31pts
C Flight
1st Fergus O’Brien (23) 34pts
2nd Silvano Pizzato (23) 33pts
3rd Tom Morrisroe (24) 31pts
Although Fridays at Silky Oak can be a traffic challenge, the risk is always worth it to play a most enjoyable layout. The good sized outing was split into our usual three flights and the venue choice suited Mike Allidi and a flight mate Dominic Downey as they were the only players to better their handicaps. Derek Winless reversed his surname and made it a second podium visit in as many games.
It was a case of the donkey between two shamrocks in B Flight as Gerry Roche and Terry ‘pork chop’ Mangan sandwiched the GM.
It was the irrepressible Fergus Brian who was the main benefactor in C Flight with a steady 34 points while Silvano Pizzato (try saying that ten times holding your tongue) came home a shot adrift for the silver. There is a groove in the tiles from were Tom Morrisroe sits in Lewiinski’s to the pay window as he made his forth visit of the week.
Eight players shared the 2’s pot
