Sunday, May 6, Green Valley – Stableford
1st Jerry Sweetnam (10) 38pts
2nd Russell Gilroy (17) 37pts
3rd Donal McGuigan (20) 37pts
4th Mikael Andersson (13) 36pts
Despite all the rain over the past week we found the course here in Green Valley in very good condition and the greens well improved from the sanding and coring which was done a few weeks ago. Although it looked like rain a few times we got round dry and as the course was quiet we also got round very quickly.
We also had good scoring and you had to play to your handicap or better to come in the prizes today. Jerry Sweetnam came out the winner with thirty eight points and we then had two players with thirty seven, with Russell Gilroy having the better back nine to win the count back over Donal McGuigan. Mikael Andersson had thirty six to claim the fourth and last place for today.
Tuesday, May 8, Treasure Hill – Stableford
Driving up the 331 the weather was not looking promising as heavy rain was falling. Still, we decided to risk it and as buggies were not allowed on the fairways we played ‘lift clean & place’.
Twelve players today and coming out on top was Donal McGuigan (H/cap 20) on 35 points, ahead of Bernie Stafford (18) with 31 points in second and Craig Hitchens (14) on 30 points in third. Fourth place was decided on c/b with 3 players on 29 points. Russell Gilroy took the money with a back nine of 17 points.
It had been a few games since the group had any 2’s but today there were 3 players sharing the prize – joe Peters, Marc Brunner & Craig Hitchens.
Thursday, May 10, Eastern Star – Stableford
1st Pete Seil (7) 34pts
2nd Donal McGuigan (20) 29pts
3rd Mikael Andersson (13) 28pts
It was a very hot and humid day here at Eastern Star today but at least we all got round dry. While the course was in very good condition and is excellent value for money at five hundred baht green fee, today the fairways were wet from all the rain over the past few days and it was playing very long.
That was the excuse most of our golfers gave for such bad scores as we had only one player play reasonably well which was Pete Seil who was the winner with thirty four points. After that nobody managed to break thirty points and Donal McGuigan was surprised to hear that he came second with twenty nine and Mikael Andersson was even more surprised to hear that he came third with twenty eight.
