Jomtien Golf with the IPGC
Monday, May 12, Pattana – Stableford
The previous few days had been very hot and sticky and as we arrived here we were expecting the same today. The A course is now open after renovation, which created a few smiles, so it was A & B as the chosen challenge and the cut in the two divisions set at 9-18 and 23 plus.
Lindsay Phillips returned the best score of the day, winning division 1 with 38 points. Tony Bliss took second one point behind and Paul Renall claimed third with 34.
The Jomtien Golf Group, all set for their tour of Hua Hin.
After a three month spell back in his home country Roar Berger returned to win division 2 with 34 points ahead of Bryan Priestley in second on 30. Roger deJongh completed the podium in third with 29.
Near pins went to Grenville Hill, Chris Voller, Colin Phillips and Willy Van Heetvelde.
Terry Madsen birdied B3 in Division 1 and Paul Renall B7 in Division 2 to win the ‘2’s competition today.
