PSC golf from Siam Country Resort

Tuesday, March 4, Pattana – Stableford

First to Tuesday, when we travelled up Hwy 331 to play 1 of the prime courses and facilities in the area, Pattana, with the A & B loops the allotted test.  The course was in good condition, with fairways well grassed, while the greens were running smooth and true.  

From the white tees, the A & B combination is probably the longest test we face at about 6800 yards for a par of 73.  Bob Edwards (9) came to grips with the course best, scoring a solid 33 points, 20 of which came on the B course.  Next best was Paddy Devereux (22) with 32, edging Jeff Wylie (8) on count back 16/15.

Near pins went to Sam, Neil, Bob & Willem.

Thursday, March 6, Pattavia Century – Stableford

Thursday saw us continue our trip up the 331 a little further to Pattavia Century, where from the white tees we had a 6600+ yard challenge.  The weather was looking after us, with clear skies and a bit of a breeze, which was needed as the weather is starting to get a bit hotter.
