Well we were off to play Treasure Hill with fifteen golfers and we found the course in fantastic condition, as you would expect from this venue. Fairways were in great shape, the greens played true, bunkers were clean and raked and the rough – well it was the rough! We went from the yellow tees and with the weather being on our side we were set for a good day out.
Steve Younger, back from open heart surgery, a hip and knee replacement and one must not forget his shoulder reconstruction, came out and shone in today’s event. He is now registered as our six million baht man. Steve bought home the bacon with 40 points, five clear of his next opponent.
Second to greet the judges was Rod Weekes and third today and hitting a bit of a purple patch was Lorraine Percy, who took that position on the podium from John Anderson via the countback system.

Pattavia GC (the pineapple plantation) was today’s venue and you could not fault in this course in any way shape or form, it was a delight to play. We attacked this fine course from the yellow tees and twenty golfers gave us the opportunity to play two flights.
A Flight saw Bill Shooter McGarvie (on his last outing with us) take the game by the scruff of the neck and went out with all guns blazing. He greeted the judges with a very good score of 41 points and edged Martin Kempton on countback. In third place was buffalo Bill Steinmann, displaying a better back nine than Alex Field on the same score.
Sean Millar had a cracker of a game in B Flight and shot a very good 40 points. Second was sorted by the countback system with Colin Stielow relegating JC Lhoste into third position. These two were six points behind the winner.
