PSC Golf from The Billabong Bar
Monday. Feb. 18, Phoenix – Stableford
The experts say we are in for a very hot summer well it was hot at Phoenix today and it gave everyone a hint of what’s to come. The course was in great condition and was packed to the rafters with golfers from all over the world.
We played the Lakes and Ocean loops and there was a 3-way count back for the minor places with Mark Brosnan taking 6th spot, John Locke 5th and Noddy Moyle 4th after scoring 21 points on the back nine.
There was another countback for silver and bronze with Jerry Grocott being nudged into 3rd spot and Andrew Woodall taking 2nd with the same score of 39 points overall. Brad O’Keefe had his day in the sun scoring a fine 40 points to take the win. There were no 2s today.
Wednesday, Feb. 20, Green Valley – Stableford
With 3 groups of ladies and 8 groups of guys we got away to an early start on a course in grand condition.
The Billabong ladies always seem to give this place a bit of a hiding and today was no exception, with Miss Eng taking 4th place with 38 points and then a countback on 40 points between Miss Kran and Miss Julie saw the latter take second and the former third. There was a runaway winner in the form of Miss Nu who shot a gross 79 off her 17 handicap to return a whopping 46 points.
In the men’s competition a rainbow stableford was played for a change and the scoring was quite different to say the least. There was a three-way countback on 41 points which saw Paul Walia taking 4th, Mikael Anderson 3rd and Lloyd Shuttleworth 2nd, while Jerry Sweetnam took line honors with 43.
Friday, Feb. 22, Phoenix – Scramble
It was an early start for our monthly scramble at Phoenix, playing Ocean and Mountain loops. There was a different format today as we played minimum 3 tee shots and a maximum 5 per player but one of the shots must be on a par three.
The course was in great condition as usual and the golf just flowed along at a steady speed. The scoring wasn’t up to the normal standards but it was a good day out. Taking 3rd spot was the Valley Hackers team with a net 62.8, second place went to the lads from Perth with a net score of 61.7, and taking the top spot was Paul O’Mahoney, Paul Greenaway, Andrew Scaiffe and Steve Dodd with a score of net 60.
The Billabong’s golf trip to Khai Yai on the 16th, 17th, 18th March costs THB 11,000 for golf and accommodation including carts and caddies at Lotus Valley, Khai Yai Country club and Rancho Charnvee. Places still available.
