We were playing the East and South nines today at the Royal Thai navy course, with a cut of 10-17and 18+ in the two divisions. The greens were very slow, which is unusual for this course.
40 points was the best score of the day, coming from Pete Sumner to win division 1 ahead of Dennis Scougall in second on 38 and Bob Comartin third with 34.
Alan Bissell was the winner in division 2 with 33 points, Jim Connelly, now back on the white tees, was second one point behind and with a 17/13 back-nine countback John Carlin took third over Bill Kana, both with 31 points overall.
Near pins went to (Div 1) Bob Comartin, Dennis Lea and Pete Sumner and (Div 2) Alan Bissell, Bill Kana and Jerry McCarthy.
There were no ‘2’s in either division so rollovers to Crystal Bay on Wednesday.
