Monday, Feb. 2, Plutaluang – Stableford
As we alternate here on every visit we were playing the East and South courses today with three divisions out and the almost equal cut at 8-14, 15-19 and 20+ in division 3.
Chris Voller, not protecting his handicap before the IPGC Club Championship later in the week, returned the best score of the day to win division 1 with 39 points. Pete Sumner came in second on 35 and Dennis Scougall took third with 31.
(L to R) Lindsay Phillips, Rodney Howett and Dennis Scougall.
On a week’s break from Khao Yai, Tim Hake topped division 2 with 35 points while the Irish boy Jerry McCarthy claimed second on 32 and Lindsay Phillips was third a further point behind.
Rod Howett returned after a short break to recover from a bad back and won division 3 with 33 points while Cliff Elliott finished second after beating Miss Nut on a 16/10 back-nine count back, both tied on 32 points each (there were tears in her eyes).
Tim Hake birdied E5 and Don Head S5 to split the ‘2’s pot in division 2 and Miss Nut’s tears disappeared.
Near pins went to (Div 1) Teddy Bourne, Ted Lodge and Jerry McCarthy, and (Div 2) Mike Fitzgerald, Don Head, Rod Howett and Rudiger Schaefer.
