PSC golf from Siam Country Resort
Tuesday, July 29, Greenwood – Stableford
Tuesday saw us visit Greenwood with the C & A combination our allotted test of the day. The course was in good condition with both fairways and greens much better than several more high profile courses.
We had 3 groups today and moved along at a steady pace, under clear skies with a light breeze to relieve some of the humidity. Jeff Wylie (H/cap 7), who had not played to his handicap throughout July with SCR, finally returned to some form and recorded a day’s best of 38 points. Stan Rees (25), one of our regular visitors from Qatar, also showed some form to record 34 points, along with SCR regular Jonathan Pratt (10); Stan getting the nod over Jonathan on count back to the last 6, 13/9, after both recorded 17 on the back 9.
Near pins today went to Jeff & Martin.
Thursday, July 31, Wangjuntr – Stableford
Wangjuntr Valley was our venue for Thursday’s competition where we played from the white tees at just over 6,000 yards, which made the course a lot more user friendly for all. With 2 greens on each hole, today we played to the left side greens, and despite some players seeing the course for the first time, most were very complimentary on the conditions and layout.

Jeff Wylie (7) was able to manage his way around for a day’s best of 36 points, ahead of Qatari visitor Ian Waddell (20) with 35 points. Third spot was decided on count back with Mike Gerrard (16) just edging playing partner Bill Hewitt (17) 15/12 after both signed for 32 points. With five par 3s on the Valley course, near pins were spread around between Jonathan, Samorn, Bill, with Mihail getting two.
Note: Siam Country Resort, Restaurant & Bar is located just off Siam Country Club Rd, after going under the arch past the 7/11, turn right after 50 metres, with the venue on the left another 200 metres along. Golf from here is generally played on Tuesday & Thursday, with the Resort hosting prompt presentations on both days. As a PSC affiliated venue we welcome all golfers, including ladies & seniors (>60s) who have opted for the “Silver” tee option. Call 089 094 1841 for scheduling or enquiries.
