PSC golf from The Golf Club
Monday, Jan. 27, Green Valley (white tees) – Monthly Medal
1st Henry O’Brien (22) net 66
2nd Anders Pederson (8) net 68
3rd Mark Wood (9) net 69
T4th Terry Wagner (18) net 70
T4th Alan Rothwell (6) net 70
T4th Ernie McInerney (11) net 70
It was monthly medal time again, so one of our top quality Antigua golf shirts was up for grabs. We had a good field of 36 golfers for today’s event and all were anxious to get on the first tee. Once more we had perfect golf weather and this is as good as it gets for cool weather here in Pattaya.
Alan Rothwell, Henry O’Brien and Terry Wagner.
There was a 3-way tie for 4th place with Terry, Alan and Ernie Mac all shooting a very respectable net 70 on the day. Mark Wood, fresh off the plane, went out and shot a net 69 for third place and Anders Pederson took second with his 68. But the winner today was Henry O’Brien as the 22 handicapper turned in a net 66 to give him his first monthly medal win and a shirt with a star on it. Way to go Henry!
Wednesday, Jan. 29, Khao Kheow (yellow tees) – Stableford
1st Mark Wood (9) 36pts
1st Alan Rothwell (6) 36pts
3rd Bryan Carroll (18) 33pts
4th Brad Gearie (13) 32pts
Mark Wood.
An absolutely perfect day for golf was once again on the cards as we stepped up to the first tee 10 minutes early and the B side was wide open. Khao Kheow was in beautiful condition and was looking magnificent on every hole. It was pleasant with a light breeze and low humidity and just ideal golfing conditions.
It was a day for the low handicappers, as this course is always a tough test of golf. A good bit of wind kicked up as well to add to the frustration of this Pete Dye classic.
Another Scotsman claimed top of the table today as our old buddy Mark Wood came good to share victory with American Alan Rothwell, both on 36 Stableford points. Irishman Bryan Carroll is certainly getting his game together in 3rd place while Australian Brad Gearie rounded off our international scoreboard in 4th place.
It’s great to have so many golfers from darn near everywhere play with us here in Pattaya!
Friday, Jan. 31, Greenwood B & C (white tees) – Stableford
1st Phil Smedley (12) 36pts
2nd Ray Powell (16) 33pts
3rd Ken Aihara (3) 32pts
Glorious Greenwood was the venue this Friday and it couldn’t have been nicer. The white tees were playing to 6,600 yards with a good bit of roll, but the greens were not as quick as we have seen them in the past. Weather was once again perfect!
Ken Aihara and Ray Powell celebrate with Golf Captain Phil Smedley.
Kenny Aihara was back in form and this 3 handicapper showed his skills to take 3rd as 32 points was good enough for the prizes. Englishman Ray Powell was a shot better on 33 points for 2nd place but Capt’n. Phil was the only man to shoot to his handicap for today’s win. Enjoy the BBQ Phil!
