IPGC Golf from The Tara Court Golf
Sunday, Oct. 25, Green Valley – Stableford
It seems that a trip home to Ireland is good for your golf. Michael Williams has been home over there for the summer and since he came back he has been playing very steady golf. Today at Green Valley he really hit a high note and came in with an excellent score of forty two points and won by a clear seven.

Dan Hobbs came in second with thirty five while Declan Kelly, who has also been playing very well since he came back from Ireland, today had to settle for third place as he lost the count back to Dan. Two points further back in fourth place was Alan Parker.

2nd Dan Hobbs (23) 35pts
3rd Declan Kelly (12) 35pts
4th Alan Parker (10) 33pts
Tuesday, Oct. 27, Mt. Shadow – Stableford
We had just a small group out today at a virtually deserted Mountain Shadow. There isn’t much sign of high season here, at least not yet, even though it is almost November now.
The scoring was low today with Frank McGowan being the winner with thirty four points while Serge Stratten came second with thirty three. John Fenwick and Alan Bishop filled third and fourth places respectively.
1st Frank McGowan (18) 34pts
2nd Serge Stratten (17) 33pts
3rd John Fenwick (20) 31pts
4th Alan Bishop (22) 30pts
Thursday, Oct. 29, Burapha – Stableford
On Thursday we were back at Burapha for what was the last of the Sport Day offers, but we will be coming back regularly even in high season as they are giving us a very good price for what is an excellent course and also very easy to get too.

Because it was the last of the Sport Days everyone seemed to want to play there and it was very busy, which meant we had a much slower than usual round but it was still very enjoyable. We also got round without any rain which was a bonus after being washed out the previous Thursday.
Bob Maloney played what I think was his first round with us and he had a very successful first day, winning with thirty six points and beating his friend and playing partner Russell Gilroy on the count back into second. Serge Stratten featured for the second time this week and he came third with thirty four points and John Fenwick was fourth with thirty one.
For the third day this week we had no twos.
1st Bob Maloney (14) 36pts
2nd Russell Gilroy (16) 36pts
3rd Serge Stratten (17) 34pts
4th John Fenwick (20) 31pts
