PSC golf from The Fairway Golf Range
Tuesday, Jan. 25, PAGS Monthly Tournament
Ninety-six golfers lined up at the start for the monthly tournament today and the majority of them found it very difficult in the blustery conditions. With a very strong wind swirling around the course, club selection was paramount for scoring well. The competition was fierce as there were prizes to be won on every single hole.
We have made a few changes to the format this year due to the controversy concerning our major prize last year, so we have decided to spread the prizes around more this year into three divisions for the men plus a ladies division so more people stand a chance of winning. We have no control over people putting in internet scores so we have to rely on the USGA to inform us of this and adjust the handicaps accordingly.

Tuesday’s A Flight winner Alan Griffiths, right, receives his prize.
The unluckiest golfer today not to have won a prize must be Andy Brady. With so many holes offering a prize for near the pin in two shots, Andy scored his first ever eagle two on the twelfth hole only to find out the prize on this hole was for the longest putt (unlucky Andy).
The prize giving was held back at the Fairways club house where everybody enjoyed the excellent barbecue that was laid on and the celebrations went on long into the night.
The next monthly tournament will be held at Greenwood on the 22nd of February for an all inclusive price of 1,400.baht. Anyone interested in taking part in this event or any other of our weekly golf days can contact Scott on 084 389 2379 for further details.
Friday, Jan. 28, The Emerald – Stableford
Not so many golfers out today with just 23 in total and only 16 in the tournament so only 1 division. The course here is still in good condition and the fairways were hard so there was a lot more run on the ball than usual and this made it a lot easier for the guys that can’t hit the ball so far. This was reflected in the scores returned today with nearly all of the field played within two shots of their handicap.
The winner today was again one of Scott’s pupils at the driving range Goort Geltan who returned a great score of 40 points to fend off (at the moment Mr. consistency) Tony Duthie on 38 points.
Near pins today went to Roy, Ed Stewart, Jan Van Spellen and Scott Dobbins.
1st Goort Geltan 40pts
2nd Tony Duthie 38pts
3rd Jan Van Spellen 37pts
4th Ed Stewart 37pts
