Lewiinski’s & Cafe Ole battle
for top spot
PSC Friday Bowling League
Lewiinski’s regained a share of first place by
defeating VFW Post 9876 three points to one, while Cafe Ole only managed
two points out of four to drop into a tie for first in the Pattaya Sports
Club Friday Bowling League.
 On
18 July the Pattaya Sports Club celebrated the first completed bowling
tournament of the new year. The party, which included awarding nice
trophies to the best and luckiest bowlers, was held at the Mia Kai room of
the Tropicana Hotel. Everyone (especially the ladies) looked a bit better
in their evening clothes than they do at the bowling alley, and it seemed
each and everyone enjoyed the party.
The only other team to win three points was Snowman,
captained by Jeed with a 484 series, with her teammates Nut and Toy having
identical 500 series, definitely the most consistent team bowling of the
day.
Nut bowled the best game of the day with a 207 and Kran
from Cafe Kronborg had the best series with a 513. It seems that the
Pattaya Bowl is getting more difficult to score well every week.

PH3 Run 858
Hares Chicken F. and D.L.H.D. With 120 people signing up,
I think Pinky and Fossil had to pay a lot of attention to all those raffle
tickets flying away.
A quick bus ride to Siam Country Club Road, near a temple
for a beautiful A-site (looked familiar again). The GM this week was Blowfly
and when called the circle, the usual new shoes were christened and the
Hares brought On In to explain the run, then here we go... On paper the
usual FRBs; Tampax had a little bit of competition from that guy from the
Philippines Forest Gump. I remember giving him this name on my holiday in
the Philippines when he kept on running looking for his lost girlfriend. The
run was great, beautiful site-seeing, a little bit of road, a little bit of
dessert storm ground, nothing to talk about. Only who put those fake cattle
in that wood, or were they real, none of them even moved?
Back On In, ready for some good tuna sandwiches that we
can buy from our good friend Jeep and his lovely wife, all the profits go to
education for children - well done guys.
The GM called the circle and Ewok started off with the
raffle tickets, the Chang Mai Hash Mistress Snowflake gave many beautiful
prizes.
Hares On In, Chicken F. and D.L.H.D., everybody said that
it was a good run, so they didn’t suffer long on the ice. Then Boy George
and Spaghetti Head on the ice, something to do with next week’s run
somewhere at the beach. Needle Dick on the ice for signing up too late
again! Snowflake was asked in the circle to show us how to use our new
drinking tool, “The Willy”. We had one for the cracks and a double one
for the real man (Sir Airhead?) We never saw Ferry Dicking Sort Of Poofter
give the beers so fast; some said he worked in the camps for Hitler?
Returners On In, ice for ET for forgetting his Hash S@#t
gear. Some visitors from Angeles called in for their Down Downs. Time for
the Bad RA: Hares On In, good run no punishment this week, then all the Hash
S@#s on the ice, Fini F., C.face and Needle Dick. C.face lost his hat to
Needle Dick who was very happy with it? Sorry Jerry!
Rambo WW2 and his buddy Bony Ass were iced because their
misses needed Hash names: Rambowling and Butterfly. Snowflake On In to show
that she as Hash Mistress can down down a double Willy, well done! Needle
Dick and Spunk Bubble were next to show how it worked. Spunk Bubble had a
double one, because he made his lovely wife pregnant without asking
permission from the Hash Mismanagement. Back to the GM for some
anniversaries: Misses Head for 50th Run Mug, Spaghetti Head back on the ice
for interrupting the GM, C.face and Benny The Nerd for having 100th Runs.
Some leavers: Caroline (Made In Taiwan’s misses, I’ve
heard he stays 2 more weeks, isn’t he lucky?), Snowflake back to Chang
Mai, 3 lying leavers on the ice, D.L.H.D., C. and Drippy of course for a
double Willy, ha ha. A lot of virgins and their sponsors on in for their
down downs. The Hares did their familiar song from Bob Dylan “It ain’t
me Babe”. Well done Hares!
The Hash Hymn and back to the Happy Hour, which was in my
place. I hope you all enjoyed the food and the ambiance.

Yorkie takes command of Mickey Mouse
It took 5 weeks, but finally a team has edged out into
the lead in the Mickey Mouse Darts League. Yorkie finally broke the tie
and now sits alone atop the standings.
In week 5 action, despite scoring a week-high 9 under
10s, Yorkie managed to win the match and the beer over Devonshire.
Pleasure Dome jumped into a tie for second by winning match and beer over
Cheers. Rising Sun is also now tied with Cheers and the Dome for second
after winning the match but losing the beer to Beer Put. Mick’s Place
kept Palmer’s in check by sweeping the match and the beer.
Ian from Yorkie maintains the league’s highest out to
date, 138.
This week (Aug 25) sees Mick’s Place v Devonshire, Pleasure Dome v
Palmer’s, Rising Sun v Cheers, and Beer Put v Yorkie. Note: until

Fitness Tips: Check out
antioxidants
by David Garred
Club Manager Dusit Resort Sports Club
G’day Pattaya,
New Antioxidant Report: It is widely agreed
that dietary antioxidants have an important role to play in preventing
cell damage from exposure to oxidants, but more is not necessarily better,
according to a new study from the US Institute of Medicine. The study
found that there is insufficient evidence that taking megadoses of dietary
antioxidants, such as selenium and vitamins C and E or carotenoids
including beta-carotene can prevent chronic diseases. Extremely large
doses are actually thought to lead to health problems, and for the first
time, the report sets a ceiling on daily consumption of these
antioxidants.
 Members
of Dusit Resort Sports Club wishing Cindy Turner a very happy 21st
birthday
Here are some of the report recommendations:
Vitamin C: Recommended daily intake (RDI) of 75
milligrams for females and 90 for males. Because smokers are more likely
to suffer from biological processes that damage cells and deplete vitamin
C, they need an additional 35 milligrams a day. Food sources of the
nutrient include citrus fruits, potatoes, strawberries, broccoli and leafy
green vegetables.
Upper limit: 2,000 milligrams. Intakes above this may
cause diarrhea.
Vitamin E: RDI of 15 milligrams from food. This is
equivalent to 22 International Units (IU) of natural source vitamin E or
33 IUS of the synthetic form. Food sources include vegetable oils, nuts,
seeds, liver and leafy green vegetables.
Upper limit: 1,500 IU of d-alpha-tocopherol, sometimes
labeled as ‘natural source’ vitamin E. Intakes above this increase the
risk of hemorrhagic damage.
Selenium: RDI of 55 micrograms. Food sources
include seafood, liver, meat and grains.
Upper limit: 400 micrograms per day. Intakes above this
could cause seleniosis, a toxin reaction marked by hair loss.
Beta-carotene and other carotenoids: In laboratory
testing these nutrients have been shown to act as antioxidants, but the
results have not been consistently duplicated in humans. For this reason
the report does not recommend a daily intake level or an upper intake
level. Instead it recommends that beta carotene supplementation should
only be used for the prevention and control of vitamin A deficiency.
Interesting little thing this, will our supermarkets be
helping us to buy the right things from them in the future?
Check Out your Health: The supermarket checkout
could soon become an arena for monitoring your fat and calorie intake. The
UK Department of Health and Medical Research is working with the British
supermarket chain Tesco to introduce shopping dockets that contain fat
content and calorie information of the products being purchased. As well
as providing the consumer with valuable dietary information, the shopping
docket could also be a useful tool for professionals in the health and
fitness industry (might make my job easier); in theory it can do so for
both personal trainers and nutritionists to help consult and educate
clients in eating habits to a higher level. This then lasts a shopping
lifetime, in theory.
I have a tip from Australia that it may be quite some
time before such a thing will be common place, as no supermarket chain has
plans to implement the system.
Thailand, well, your guess may well be better than
mine.
It is a nice idea, though.
Carpe’ Diem
Pattaya C.C. proves no challenge for Fortt
& Riley
PSC TAGGS... golf from The Haven
Wednesday, August 16 - Pattaya Country Club (Better
Ball Medal)
1st: Keith Fortt & Harry Riley, 58 net
2nd: Brian Bradley & Bill Chadwick, 64 net
3rd: Malcolm Clare & Jimmy Little, 66 net
Keith Fortt and Harry Riley stomped the field and
stomped Pattaya Country Club in a TAGGS Better Ball competition on
Wednesday the 16th of August. Keith, playing off 26, and Harry, playing
off 21, had eleven net birdies and two net eagles en route to a scorching
58 and their second consecutive Better Ball trophy out of The Haven.
The lone blemish came on the par 5 eighteenth hole
where they had their only net bogey of the day. By that time, the
competition was long over. This contest was over after the last par three.
Their total net score on the four par 3s was six.
Brian Bradley and Bill Chadwick took second place
honors with a score of 64 net. They both had solid rounds, with nary a net
bogey. The difference between first and second place was again the four
par 3s where Brian and Bill took eleven net strokes.
Third place went to Malcolm Clare and Jimmy Little who
came in with a six under par 66 net.
Friday, August 18 - Natural Park Hill (Bogey)
1st: Russell Finch, 1 Down C/B
2nd: Jimmy Little, 1 Down
3rd: Claes Ernlund, 2 Down C/B
4th: Dave Ball, 2 Down
Playing in a Bogey competition at Natural Park Hill,
things were not going so well for Russell Finch. After being “all
square” at the turn, “Pin High” was three down with three to go.
Russell finished with three consecutive pars, winning the last two holes
to bring his match to down one. That was the margin he need for his first
TAGGS win in 2000, taking the Knotted Putter trophy in a count back.
Second place went to the man with the largest golf shirt collection in
Pattaya. Jimmy Little, the proverbial “bridesmaid” added one more Fobe
original to his wardrobe. Claes Ernlund beat out Dave Ball in a count back
for third place finishing at two down.
Bruce bashes Soi Dao and Rick nicks the
Medal
The recent three day tour of Soi Dao saw 16 golfers
setting out on day one braving the rain all day but enjoying the
challenge. There were many new faces who had never played the course
before who wondered what had hit them in the rain, but not Steve Donovan
who scored an excellent 38 pts. John Kendall and Clive Bruce were second
and third, both on 36 pts.
Day two saw better weather, and it was Steve Mascari
who triumphed with 41 pts. Clive Bruce came second with 39 pts. and Jay
Quick third with 35 pts.
The final day was tense with many players still in with
a chance. Ray Ryan came in first with 37 pts., Rick Sharp second with 36
pts. and John Kendall nicking third on a count back with 35 pts. Rick
Sharp counting the cost of that 1 pt. beating, doing him out of a century
from Arthur Negus, so the final placings were: overall winner with 110
pts. Clive Bruce, second with 103 pts. John Kendall, and third Steve
Donovan 101 pts. Joint fourth with 100 pts. were the favourites Steve
Mascari and Mike Morris.
On Sunday the 13th of August Lewiinski’s / Orchid had
the third monthly medal at Noble Place. With one or two novices in the
field it was pretty slow going and there were a few golfers a little bit
irate, so as normal the starter took the brunt of the blame. However, it
didn’t detract from some good golf played from those lucky enough to
sidestep the snarl up. Rick Sharp won the day with net 72 on a count back
from Steve Mascari, also net 72. Mike Morris finished third with net 73.
The two near pins went to Jack Grinvold; well done Jack.
Other results:
Monday 14th August - Green Valley C.C. (Stroke)
1st: Alvin Crowder, net 61
2nd: Terry Summers, net 71
3rd: Steve Donovan, net 71
Near pins: #7 Larry Nicholas and #15 Steve Donovan
Weds 16th August - N.P. Hills (Stableford)
1st: Steve Ross, 38 pts.
2nd: Phil Sharpe, 36pts.
3rd: Clive Bruce, 36 pts.
Friday 18th August - N.P. Resort (2 man BB)
Winners: Steve Mascari & Baruche, net 61
Runners up: Svein Vistung & Morton Esseth, net 73
