PSC 123rd Monthly Open Golf Tournament
Golf Chairman Joe Mooneyham decided that the Pattaya Sports Club’s 123rd monthly golf tournament would be a little bit different. The format was a 2-ball better-ball stableford comp held at Eastern Star on Friday, May 23, with a shotgun start at 12 noon followed by the presentation and buffet in the clubhouse.
With pre-payment the registration was quick and many had time for a word with Joe and Nigel before play began. There were 78 players in total signed up and all arrived at their allotted tees in time for the hooter to start the tournament.

The course was in fine condition with speedy greens, and the weather was hot and sunny – well TIT!
Just a little over 4 hours later the players returned with their cards for Joe to calculate the results. It became obvious very quickly that the ladies had enjoyed this form of competition for they were involved in winning many prizes.
Usa and Bryan, the winning combination.
The top duo with 49 points was an unusual pairing of Bryan Neal and Usa Phaohom, as Bryan’s other half, Ning, was recovering in hospital. Runners-up with 47 points were the delightful ladies Orn Kanasaengsri and Chop Daprakhon.
John and Rungthip took 5th place overall.
As soon as players had showered, the buffet was available together with excellent drink service. At presentation time Nigel called order and introduced Joe Mooneyham who expressed his appreciation to all of today’s competitors and for the help from Nigel and William and the PSC office staff. Nigel then announced the winners and Joe presented the prizes. The lucky draw followed and both names on the card received a prize.
The next PSC monthly is scheduled for Friday June 20th at Pleasant Valley.
