PSC Golf from The Outback Golf Bar
Monday, July 13, Burapha – Stableford
What a difference seven days makes! This past week’s winning score at Burapha would only have finished fifth the previous week.
We have rarely if ever seen the A and B courses here in better condition and it is sad to see so few golfers at this very good venue. As usual we got away early and had the place to ourselves… our first group getting around in four hours twenty minutes.
(Standing rear L-R) Geoff Christie, Wally Brown and John Low, (Front) Bob St. Aubin.
Tim Knight had a rare good round to win with 39 points ahead of Murray Hart (37) in second while Willy Van Heetvelde (36), Bob Finley (35) and Kim Danboise (34) completed the podium.
There were no ‘2’s.
Outback opinion: Weather – fine; Check in – fast; Tee time – early; Fairways – fast; Rough – light; Greens – fast; Bunkers – well raked; Value for money – very good; Pace of play – under 4.5hrs; Drink stations open – all open; Restaurant – not visited.
1st Tim Knight (27) 39pts
2nd Murray Hart (16) 37pts
3rd Willy Van Heetvelde (23) 36pts
4th Bob Finley (14) 35 pts
5th Kim Danboise (13) 34pts
Tuesday, July 14, Laem Chabang – Stableford
Three groups today at our regular Tuesday rendezvous at Laem Chabang, this week playing the A & C loops that were in their usual good order. Back on the whites this week after the previous week’s blues and Kiwi John Low made the most of the shorter tees to not only win the day with an excellent 41 points, but also get his revenge on Sugar, who up until then had been getting the better of him, John that is.
John can expect to be cut after his fine display and we will see how he deals with that later. Mike Missler was second with 38 points with the new Outback boss, Andre, in third on 36.
There was only one ‘2’, from John Low (C8).
1st John Low (14) 41pts
2nd Mike Missler (06) 38pts
3rd Andre Coetzee (08) 36pts
Friday, July 17, St. Andrews – Stableford
Thirty-one Outbackers played St. Andrews 2000 today, Green Valley our normal Friday venue being pre-booked for a tournament. Many Outbackers actually liked the change as the course was in fine condition, the only disappointment being the 5 hour round, a not too often happening in low season.
Two divisions today, and Kiwis John Low and Geoff Christie filled first and third in Div. 1, with 36 and 35 points respectively, with Pete LeNoury in between them, also on 36 points but losing out to John on count back. Bob ‘whispering’ St. Aubin was fourth, also on 35, but missing out to Geoff on c/b.
It was a great day for Andy Makara in Div. 2, the ever popular player cleaning up with 35 points. He was followed home by Tom Byrne, Wally Brown and Waldo, all with 34 points, and sadly Sugar Ray missed out on the money by a point, much to the delight of John Low and everybody else as Lowy, who registered his second win this week is gradually hauling Sugar in.
There were two ‘2’s, both on the 10th from Mark Allen and Tim Knight.
Div A (0-14)
1st John Low (13) 36pts
2nd Peter LeNoury (10) 36pts
3rd Geoff Christie (04) 35pts
4th Bob St. Aubin (13) 35pts
Div B (15+)
1st Andy Makara (26) 35pts
2nd Tom Byrne (16) 34pts
3rd Wally Brown (16) 34pts
4th Stephen Blazsanyik (17) 34pts
