Monday, Feb. 9, Bangpakong – Stableford

The glorious Bangpakong Riverside course was the challenge today and we teed off under sunny skies and in breezy conditions.  The course, as we have come to expect, was in fine shape and was also quite busy but we managed a round of 4 hours and 40 minutes.

Two flights were required and Peter Sindberg took the A Flight with a fine 41 points while two points back Peter Bygballe took second on c/b over Kjeld Ravn.  Ulf Larsson and Elias Magnusson completed the podium in fourth and fifth.

We played Pattaya Country Club today, which was overall in reasonable condition but the greens were very good, with the front nine faster the inward nine.  The new clubhouse is a first class facility, so if they can get the rest of the course up to speed it would be great.

The cut today came at handicap 21 and Peter Bygballe finished top of the A Flight with a fine 39 points.  Kenneth Madsen took second place but only after a count back decision over Carole and Richard Kubicki, all with 31 points.

Mike Winfield won the B Flight with 37 points and Ragne was second on a count back over Tom Cotton in third.  Steen Habersaat and Jan Lovgreen filled the minor places.
