PSC golf from Siam Country Resort
Tuesday, Oct. 22, Khao Kheow – Stableford
Tuesday saw us visit Khao Kheow with the C & B combination being our allotted test of the day. The weather conditions were perfect throughout the round, clear skies with a ½ to 1 club breeze, magic! The course was not in great shape, partly due to the excessive rains recently, but also the B course still settling in after recent renovations.
Willem Lasonder (21) coped best with the conditions to record a modest 31 points, while Stan Rees (23) made a nice 3-pointer on the last to sign for 29 points and take second spot.

Near pins went to Stan and Neil with 2.
Thursday, Oct. 24, Pleasant Valley – Stableford
Thursday was a trip just past Khao Kheow to Pleasant Valley, where again we had great golf weather throughout the round. The course was in reasonable condition, although the scores were again below par.
Martin Hayes (14) easily led the way with 33 points, which included 4 “wipes”, while Jeff Wylie (6) with a meagre 29 points was best of the rest.
Occasionally you hear critics bemoaning that near pins are only won by low markers, well this week Brian Maddox, our highest marker of the day, was the only winner with multiple near pins.
Friday was the PSC monthly tournament at Treasure Hill, and although SCR representation was lower than normal it was a big congrats to Joel Flor (24) who was close to the standout performer of the day, with a near pin, long drive & winning his flight.
Note: Siam Country Resort, Restaurant & Bar is located just off Siam Country Club Rd, after going under the arch past the 7/11, turn right after 50 metres, with the venue on the left another 200 metres along. Golf from here is generally played on Tuesday & Thursday, with the Resort hosting prompt presentations on both days.
As a PSC affiliated venue we welcome ALL golfers, including ladies & seniors who have opted for the “Silver” tee option. Call 089 094 1841 for scheduling or enquiries. Hope to see you there, cheers & good golfing!
