PSC Golf from The Billabong Bar
Monday, Nov. 26, Phoenix Gold – Scramble
We would like to start by saying a huge thank-you to the management and friendly staff of Phoenix Gold Golf course for their help in making this charity day for a small school in Petchaburi a great success. Their professional attitude and manners were above and beyond the normal. Also a special thanks to Goort and Penny for their contribution to the day.
With 16 groups playing from two tees (Mountain and Lakes) we got away right on time and the golf just flowed along. The weather was grand but a little hot and the course was in fantastic condition.
Playing a two-person scramble it turned out to be a fun day and in the final shake-up the men had to give way to the ladies. Poopay and Tan came first with a net score of 60.7 while the other winners were at net 62 and net 62.3.
The amount of money raised on the day was just under 84.000 baht and once again thanks to everyone for their support and generosity.
Wednesday, Nov. 28, Green Valley – Medal
Green Valley was in great condition with greens that not only held but were very fast to putt on. The fairways were just superb to play off and hopefully it will stay this way for ever more.
With 8 groups playing, we were away to a good start in perfect weather for golf. The Haven Consultants trophy was the prize today and the top scores were all in the 60s, with Peter Thomas taking third with a net score of 69 and Peter LeNoury lost a countback on net 68 to Lloyd Shuttleworth, the latter with a gross 73 off his 5 handicap.
In the ladies division there were 3 groups playing and the scoring was not as good as usual. Taking third spot was Miss Kran with a net 72, her being beaten on a countback by Miss Nu also on net 72. The winner of the Haven trophy was Miss Tan with a net 69.
There were five ‘2’s, coming from Nick Farazerley, Stan Rees, Lloyd Shuttleworth, Dave Smith and Mark Wood. There were no ‘2’s today from the ladies.
Friday, Nov. 30, Phoenix – Scramble
Phoenix again today for the monthly scramble, with 12 groups playing on a course in fantastic condition.
It is always good to see the stalwarts of this day every month come to challenge for the prize, and it was one of those days for the Valley Hackers (Ed, Don, Doug and Ted), taking third spot with a net score of 58.9. Second on the day went to the Billabong team of Capt Bob, Gary Ritchie, Colonel Bob Pearce and Paul Greenaway with a net score of 58.4, and it was great to see Willie Mercer, Alistair Aitken, Paul Montgomery and Tony Stevens take the top spot with a net score of 56.7.
