Jomtien Golf with the IPGC

Our normal Friday fixture here at Eastern Star was reorganized this week to a Monday as all of our golfers were playing in the annual I.P.G.C. Golf Championship at Khao Kheow on Wednesday and Friday. There were still ten groups out with the cut in three divisions set at 8-15, 16-19 and 20+ in division 3.
Teddy Lodge returned the best score of the day, winning division 1 with 38 points. Mikael Andersson took second on 35 points and Gerald Dooley was third with 34.
