It’s inevitable in Pattaya that whenever a new golfer wins with an outstanding score, like 43 points with no points on the first three holes and a lost ball on the back nine, eyebrows are raised and questions asked, but the fact is Kim has played with Lewiinski’s before and this, to my knowledge, is the first time he has seen the podium.
Sunday’s winner Kim Jarvinen with the lovely Tengmo.
We have all enjoyed similar days at some point and have been very happy to turn in the card of our lives. So it is congratulations to Kim with his man of the match and AB Flight achievement. Kim was four strokes clear of Don ‘the ladies man’ Lehmer.
Claude Harder took the top step in the senior circuit with 35 points, followed by the Donkey one stroke in arrears.
Bruce Anderson and Peter Henshaw split the 2’s pot.
Tuesday, July 1, Laem Chabang C & B – Stableford
A Flight
1st Lawrie McBride (14) 39pts
2nd Kevin Rogers (12) 37pts
3rd Nick Odnoral (14) 35pts
B Flight
1st Gabriel Enright (24) 40pts
2nd Mike Jefferys (18) 38pts
3rd Peter Henshaw (16) 38pts
A fair sized field enjoyed the low season opportunity to play Jack’s masterpiece Laem Chabang, and the always well-conditioned course yielded the best score to B Flight winner Gabriel ‘the thunder from down under’ Enright who shot a sparkling 40 points.
That left two players locked with 38 points apiece; Mike ‘the Welsh Dragon’ Jefferys and Peter ‘the silver surfer’ Henshaw. The luck of the Irish ran out for Peter with Mike getting the nod in the count back but Peter wasn’t too concerned as he sunk a ‘2’ on the day.
In A Flight it was Irishman Lawrie McBride who stood atop the podium with a solid 39 points. Three Aussie stars vied for the minor places as Kevin Rodgers lifted the silver on 37 points, leaving Nick ‘walk abut’ Odnoral and Paul Bray in a logjam on 35 points; Nick ‘s luck held up in the following count back as he edged Paul off the podium.
Sunday’s hero Kim Jarvinen came back down to earth as he could only manage 17 points today.
Bruce Anderson a brace and Gabriel Enright shared the 2’s pot with Peter
Wednesday, July 2, Treasure Hill – Stableford
A Flight
1st Tom Gorey (16) 37pts
2nd Freddy Starbeck (12) 36pts
3rd Ed Wyckoff (11) 31pts
B Flight
1st Barbara Cooper (33) 29pts
2nd John Ianson (26) 29pts
3rd Aiden Murray (20) 29pts
The ever-improving Treasure Hill hosted the third game of the week, which saw B Flight finding the course a little tough to handle in the heat and humidity as the scores would reflect. Three players all returned 29 points; Barbra Cooper, John Ianson and Aiden Murray, and chivalry was shown by John and Aiden as they stood aside to let Barbra clinch the gold. John was then awarded the silver and Aiden the bronze.
A Flight provided the man of the match in Co. Killkeny’s Tom Gorey as he was the only player to better his handicap with 37 points. Freddy ‘the quite one’ Starbeck followed Tom closely with a steady even par return and Peter ‘the silver surfer’ Henshaw suffered his second count back defeat in as many games as he fell victim to Ed ‘our man in the Whitehouse’ Wyckoff, both with 31 points.
Freddy Starbeck, a pair, Peter Henshaw, Colin Davis, Terry Mangan and Ulrik Sindling shared the 2’s pot.
Friday, July 4, Crystal Bay C & A – Stableford
A Flight
1st Greg Bates (11) 41pts
2nd Paul Bray (6) 37pts
3rd Lawrie McBride (14) 37pts
B Flight
1st Mike Jeffreys (18) 42pts
2nd Aiden Murray (20) 42pts
3rd Thomas Nyberg (17) 37pts
Following the disappointing day at Treasure Hill, B Flight bounced back to life as it provided the co-men of the match today in Mike ‘the Welsh wizard’ Jefferys and always there or there about’s Aiden Murray. Mike’s score was more favorably dispersed between the outward and inner nine as he edged Aiden off the top step. Thomas Nyberg slid quietly into the third spot while nobody was looking with a steady 37 points.
The laurels in A Flight went to an Aussie star, the always happy Greg Bates with a splendid 41 points. Greg was even happier as he had the only ‘2’ of the day.
A count back was required to sort out the minor flight places and again it was the Aussie’s who came out on top; Paul ‘walk about’ Bray’s 37 points gave him the silver and Irishman Lawrie McBride took the bronze.
