Wednesday, Oct. 15, Pattana – Stableford
Our allocated courses today were the C and A nines, which made a change to the last few rounds played here. We were off the yellow tees as quite a few people regard the whites are too tough and still the scores today were low.
Nik Evans & Dennis Scougal.
Chris Voller won division 1 with 31 points, with Jori in second place on 30 points after beating Lindsay Phillips 11/9 on the back six holes. Heikki topped division 2 with 29 points, and three players came in with 27 points, William Chang beating Ray Hucknall and Miss Nut for second on a 17/15/14 back-nine count back.
Near pins were shared between Nik Evans, Don Head, Terry Madsen, Chris Voller, and Paul Hartley.
Nik Evans and Don Head split the ‘2’s pot in division 1 while in division 2 a rollover ensues to the Emerald on the 27th.
Friday, Oct. 17, Eastern Star – Stableford
This course is still improving throughout, with the exception being a few greens, but you have to expect this at this time of the year.
Gearing up for the Chiang Mai trip the organiser shot 39 points to win division 2, a first for a long time. Joe Kubon came in second three points behind and Paul Hartley was third on 33.
On the podium again, Chris Voller won division 1 with 39 points, Khalifa Nasser was second three points behind on 36 and the Welsh boy Mike Lewis came third on 35, beating Don Head and Pete Sumner on a 19/19/16 back-nine count back.
