Jomtien Golf with the IPGC
Monday, Nov. 24, Greenwood – Stableford
There are still a few players who think this course is too far to travel, but with the fist group each time we play here coming in around 1.30 p.m. what is the answer?
The A course was shut today so we started off on the C with the B to follow and the two divisional cut came at 7-16 and 17+. It was a very pleasant day weather-wise and the greens were very slick.
Andy Galvin & Marty Rock.
Scoring 40 points, Chris Slota won division 2 ahead of Cliff Elliott in second who beat Tim Hake 23/15 on the back nine as they both came in with 37 points each. In division 1, Teddy Bourne finished first with 36 points, two up on second placed Horst Starchl who edged Nik Evans and Reijo Heiskanen 19/17/14 on count back.
In the nearest the pins, Mike Chatt had one and Pete Sumner two, while in division 2 Cliff Elliott was the only winner. There were no ‘2’s in either division so a rollover to Plutaluang on Wednesday.
