PSC Golf from The Growling Swan
Monday, Dec. 10, Eastern Star – Stableford
1st Ian Ward (11) 38pts
2nd Colm Lawlor (14) 36pts
3rd Colin Stielow (24) 36pts
Near Pins: Denis Steele (2), Bill Steinmann (2).

We took off from the Swan with twelve eager golfers all ready to have a crack at the new revamped Eastern Star. The club house here has been completed and all cart paths installed. The course was in great shape, fairways were good and the greens were a little fast but ran true. Bunkers were clean and all was good for the day.
Numbers dictated that we were playing one flight with three podium places and all six novelties in play.
Ian Ward showed the way home, his 38 points being enough to get him past the post clear of the rest of the guys, Second and third saw a countback come into play and here Colm Lawlor just got the better of Colin Stielow with a more favourable back nine.
Thursday, Dec. 13, Crystal Bay – Stableford
1st Mark Stapleton (18) 39pts
2nd Takeshi Hakosaki (13) 39pts
3rd Mashi Kaneta (13) 38pts
Near Pins: Dave Maw, Shane Young, Tony Cook, Shane Young.
Long Putts: Mark Stapleton
Thirteen golfers decided to make the journey to Crystal Bay today. We were not too sure as to what to expect as there had been a bit of rain about over the last few days but we were informed that carts were allowed on course when we arrived there.
We played from the yellow tees, which can be a little short for some, but golfers do have the option to go back and play from a different tee if they so desire.
With today’s numbers we were to play one flight only with all the novelties in play.
Mark ‘the Viper’ Stapleton, on his return to Pattaya, showed that he meant business as he matched Takeshi Hakozaki at the top of the leader board. Stapo took the countback decision courtesy of a better back nine. Third past the post was Mashi Kaneta only a solitary shot behind.
