Travellers Rest Golf Group
Monday, July 8, Bangpra – Stableford
One of our golfers certainly got a shock to his system this week, he turned up on Monday to play with the TRGG a thirty six handicapper and by Tuesday afternoon after winning the first two competitions of the week found he was now a twenty eight handicapper. At this rate he will qualify for next year’s Open Championship.
Paul Kruining took apart two of Pattaya’s more difficult courses, Bangpra and Khao Kheow, and destroyed the other competitors on both days in the process. Well done Paul but go easy for the rest of the year mate, please, give the rest of us a chance.
Roger Wilkinson – winner at Phoenix.
2nd John O’Donaghue (16) 37pts
3rd Robert Cannon (19) 35pts
Tuesday, July 9, Khao Kheow – Stableford
On Tuesday 9th July at Khao Kheow (A and B courses) Mr Kruining proved that the form he showed on Monday was no fluke and despite being cut six shots after his previous round went out and beat the field again. This included a birdie on the eighteenth hole which netted him 5 points.
At this point I must offer an apology as I was unable to play on either day so was not able to take Paul’s photo to attach to this report, so no picture in the paper for you this week I am afraid.
1st Paul Kruining (30) 36 pts
2nd Jim McNeill (16) 33 pts
3rd Ted Senior (15) 32pts
Thursday, July 11, Phoenix – Stableford
On Thursday 11th July at Phoenix (Lakes and Ocean) some of the other competitors were back in with a shout at winning as PK gave this one a miss, probably still lying down coming to terms with his new handicap.
One of our regulars stepped into the breach and played a very impressive round of golf, not for the first time in recent weeks. Roger Wilkinson has one of the most relaxed swings you will ever see on a golf course and he used it to good effect in amassing 39 pts and No.1 position on the leader board.
1st Roger Wilkinson (12) 39pts
2nd Ted Senior (15) 37 pts
3rd Alan Evans (25) 33pts
