Thursday 7th April at Burapha Golf Resort saw day two of the Pattaya Sports Club Championship. I am pleased to say that the weather for our second day of the tournament was absolutely great. Pattaya Sports Club would like to thank all the 78 golfers and various bars and societies who participated in the event, without their participation it would not have happened, so a big thank you to all. There were some small administrative problems that when identified were quickly addressed, so apologies to anyone affected.
This was the conclusion of what was considered by many as a very enjoyable event. A very big thanks goes to the Management and staff from Burapha Golf Club and Resort who ensured that we all had a pleasant round of golf; they also assisted in the placement of the banners on the course on the previous day and allowed the consumption of the Singha sponsored drinks at the end of the round of golf.
As Golf Chairman, I would be amiss if I did not mention the members of the committee, Aiden Murray, Gerd Riedler, Kim Waddoup, Dick Braimbridge, Willem Lasonder, the PSC staff who are extra super at pulling all the necessary together to make the competition and the staff at the event who organized additional activities to make the days enjoyable and increase funds for PSC Charities. Thank you all!
It would also be amiss, if I did not state that the success of the competition was a result of the many sponsors who supported the event. My most sincere thanks to them all.
Our major sponsors Corestone Financial Management attended both days and participated not only by taking part in the Golf but also giving away golf balls at the start of each day. Also worthy of special mention are Dr. Weena Clinic is providing the special prize for Lady Champion and Bangkok Pattaya Hospital who in addition to providing a significant prize also put a medical team on the course complete with ambulance for both days, just in case! Thankfully they were not required. The 300 yards driving range provided bags for all who participate in the tournament and Decathlon Pattaya with their vouchers donation all the players.
The tournament presentation took place on the evening of the second day at the Billabong Bar & Restaurant, Mabprachan.
A good atmosphere with a buffet it ended the competition with once again our sponsor Corestone giving away Golf Shirts and a Golf Bag. There was also a Raffle with prizes from many of our sponsors being given out to lucky winners.
