Tuesday, August 30, Laem Chabang – P.A.G.S. Monthly Tournament
Our first P.A.G.S. tournament at this venue and it turned out to be a great success. Unfortunately the management restricted us to twenty 4-balls (eighty players), so we would like to apologies to all the golfers we had to turn away. We strongly advise you to get your names down early to avoid disappointment next time. We will definitely include this venue in next year’s tournament and hopefully they will allow us more tee times as they were very happy with the way the tournament was run.
On to the golf and the weather was overcast with a slight breeze which made it ideal for play. We were expecting some really high scoring but it turned out that only five players managed to play to their handicap or better and all of them were in the A Flight.
Jon Lay (left) was the A Flight winner at the P.A.G.S. monthly.
Jon Lay came in with the highest score of the day, 41 points, to take the honours while Kevin McIntosh took second place on a four-way count back with 37. All the other divisions were won with scores over par.
As usual the competition was fierce and it took count backs in every division to decide the placings.

1st Jon Lay (7) 41pts
2nd Kevin McIntosh (9) 37pts
3rd Robert Lomond (6) 37pts

Thursday, Sept. 1, The Emerald – Stableford
Not so many golfers today so only one division which was won with a very mediocre score of 31 points by Ken Meek. Second place was decided on a 19-18 count back as Don Carmody edged Toby O’Neill who took his first podium position whilst playing with us.
I think the course had a lot to do with the low scoring as it was not up to its usual standard. The management apologised for this and said they were doing their best to get it back to its normal good condition.
1st Ken Meek (21) 31pts
2nd Don Carmody (23) 30pts
3rd Toby O’Neill (19) 30pts
