PSC golf from The Outback Golf Bar
Monday, Feb. 27, Burapha – Stableford
Twenty-four players teed off at Burapha on the A & B nines on Monday from the blue tees. There were quite a number of new faces, including Glen Hendriksen, Lynne Parry & Steve Croy and a special welcome to them.
The handicap enhancements using the slope system, threw up some high scoring, particularly for Woolly, who picked up 44pts playing off 28 (5 over his Index) but even so, an exceptionally good round of golf; Graham will be able to look forward to an index of 19.9 next time out. Second in Div B was the flamboyant, Greg Ritchie (37) with three more tied on 35, led by Kim Payne.
Ron Dickie celebrates his Ace, achieved with a wedge on the 4th hole at Green Valley.
Jim Williams (38) won Div A from Mr. Consistency here at Burapha, John Cunningham (36) who beat Sel Wegner, finding a bit a form at last, with the same score.
There were three ‘2’s; two from John Cunningham on holes 3 and 12 and another one on hole 12 from Andy Monroe.
Div A (0-17)
1st Jim Williams (9/Hi6.5) 38pts
2nd John Cunningham (8/Hi5.8) 36pts
3rd Sel Wegner (17/Hi13.5) 36pts
Div B (18+)
1st Graham Woollett (28/Hi23.1) 44pts
2nd Greg Ritchie (25/Hi20.2) 37pts
3rd Kim Payne (21/Hi17) 35pts
Monday, Feb. 27, Khao Kheow – Stableford
Another good turnout here with 29 Outbackers giving the C & B nines their best shot. However, as usual the scoring is never as stellar here as it is at Burapha and it is still our belief that they got the rating and slope of the course completely wrong.

We were joined by another eight guys from Perth who enjoyed considerable success at the end of the day at presentation time back at the Outback. Dayle Hoek (36) won Div A ahead of Trevor Turner on count back with Ron Dickie in third and Dave Palmer fourth whilst Div B was won by another one of the group, Gary Arthur, who shot the best of the day, 39pts. Mark Kembrey back on one of his regular R & R’s, yet rare rounds of golf did very well to score 37 and take second place, from a surprised Suzi, four shots adrift back in third.
There were only two ‘2’s, both on the Island Green (B8), from Dave Palmer & Paul Greenaway.
Div A (0-16)
1st Dayle Hoek (12/Hi11.5) 36pts
2nd Trevor Turner (12/Hi11.1) 36pts
3rd Ron Dickie (8/Hi7.5) 35pts
Div B (17+)
1st Gary Arthur (18/Hi16.5) 39pts
2nd Mark Kembrey (20/Hi19.2) 37pts
3rd Suzi Lawton (17/Hi18.5) 33pts
Tuesday, Feb. 28, Pattaya C.C. – Stableford
Twenty Outbackers arrived to find a very busy clubhouse, however we got away fairly soon after our time for what was to be a reasonably timed round, with fine weather and the course in just about a satisfactory state.
Today we welcomed back, after a lay-off of over six weeks, our ‘Chad’, Barry Chadbourn playing off a slightly revised handicap as agreed by PSC Golf Chairman, Joe and General Jack, and he (Chad) received a big cheer when the results were announced by Capt. Bob as he was in second place in ‘B’ division.
We also welcomed two annual visitors from Australia, John Burns and Dave Thomson who first heard about the Outback when they bumped into Rosco (who could miss him!) at the Johnnie Walker Classic in Perth in 2009.
David Earthrowl (19) had son Tom keeping an eye on dad, as David won Division ‘A’ with 39 points! Runner-up was the now former caddy, Noy Kamsantia (20) with 34 points and in third was the ‘Turnip’ Dennis Persson (17) on 33 points, with the final place going to the ‘stunning’ John Lawton (19) with 29.
Regular campaigner, Jim Payne (24) led ‘B’ flight with 34 points gaining first place on count back over Barry Chadbourn (25), with third and fourth place being decided in similar fashion as both Laong Gatepratum (24) and Phompinmon Seesa (30) had 33 points, with Laong getting the decision.
Div A (0-23)
1st Noy Kamsantia (20/Hi19.9) 34pts
2nd Dennis Persson (17/Hi18.5) 33pts
3rd John Lawton (19/Hi19.7) 29pts

There were 28 players at Plutaluang on Thursday and a further 53 at Green Valley the following day but unfortunately no reports of either outing although the winners are listed below. One significant achievement was the hole in one recorded by Ron Dickie at Green Valley on Friday. Well done Ron!
