PSC 34th Members Tournament
Friday October 17, Khao Kheow Golf Course
Another big field teed off at Khao Kheow to contest this fine day out,
organised by Gerry Carpenter, PSC golf chairman and his committee. Another
fine day spent on this course, that, whilst not in it’s finest condition,
is such a quality course that it is always a pleasure and privilege to play
and also a course that tests your golf to the ultimate. There are no easy
shots, you play well or you suffer.

Flight and Gross Winner Jeff Wylie (left) receives the trophy from PSC
Chairman Gerry Carpenter.
On the day most golfers suffered and this was shown when
the new category introduced into this competition of the Low Gross was won
by a pretty average gross 82 by Jeff Wylie. One would expect with the
quality of golfers in the competition that someone would shoot in the
70’s, and I remember Jeff shooting 71 and dropping shots at 17th and 18th
when 69 looked on, but this shows the difficulty of the course on the day
and you only have to win the test on the day. Well done to Jeff and well
done to the course.
 Thea
De Korte, winner of the Ladies Flight, receives her trophy from PSC Golf
Chairman Gerry Carpenter.
Lets start with the results of the fairer sex as they had
a fine tussle finally being won by Thea De Korte with 37 points ahead of
Chant Schulwera with 36 points and in third was Kay Forsythe with 35 points.
Onto the less fair sex and on the day they found the
going tough, but surprisingly the less able golfers seemed to handle the
course the better, perhaps because they were playing Stableford!
In the D flight, 23 to 36, the scores were the best in
any flight, but then went downhill fast. The winner of the D flight was
David Earthrowl with a days best 41 points, but only one ahead of Danny
O’Donnel with 40 points and in third was John Dearden with 35 points.
The C flight, 19 to 22, was won by Perry McNeely with the
only good score in the flight and he had 38 points. Four points back on 34
points we had a countback for second that was won by Trevor Carnahof with
Carl Baumann in third.
In the A & B flights we had a gross competition and
the players found the going tough, however the B flight did quite
respectively and Gene Rooney came in with a good net 69 to win the flight.
Second with a net 71 was Bill Plath and third with a net 75 was Brian Platts.
Of interest to note, if Gene and Bill had been playing in the A flight, with
their gross scores they would have been second and third.
The A flight, 0 to 13, was won by the Gross score winner
Jeff Wylie with a net 76 ahead of Rob McDonald on net 78 in second with Gary
Blackburne in third on net 79 ahead of Dennis Willet on countback.
This competition owes a lot to it’s sponsors and
helpers and to all, the PSC Golf Chairman would like to give his thanks.

YWCA hosts 2003 Junior Badminton Championships
Suchada Tupchai
Over 200 budding young badminton players took part in the
recent YWCA Junior Badminton Championships 2003. The opening ceremonies were
performed by Wittaya Khunpluem, Chonburi MP and president of the Chonburi
athletics association.
 An
agile badminton player reaches for the shuttlecock.
The 16th annual competition began as a means of teaching
children, boys and girls, from the age of 11-16, the value of sportsmanship
and the need for exercise.
Jittra Wanasin, president of the YWCA Bangkok Chonburi
branch relayed the history of the event to spectators and competitors during
the opening of the 3-day competition.

category.
During the opening address, Wittaya said, “Sporting
activities are becoming more popular among the youth of today. Many of them,
we hope, will go on to represent their province and their country in both
national and international competitions. It is competitions such as this
that develop and further the skills of these young athletes.”
PSC fishing from Bobby Joe’s 60’s bar
Sunday October 5. Well what a magnificent day this turned out
to be, and the day as a whole shows you exactly what fishing is about and how
out of disappointment for week after week, despite landing some fine fish for
trip after trip, that stomach churning moment comes when you least expect it.
 The
family who went out for a fun day are now all converted fishermen, especially
the young son.
The day started out as normal with the family who were going
out meeting us at the 60’s bar for some of Bobby Joe’s free coffee, fine
fellow, then a slow amble along beach road taking in the queue’s of tourists
slowly wending their way to the speed boats going to the Islands, and taking in
the placid sea that we were soon to skim over. Bua, the boss, decided to brave
the day also as the sea was so fine and we still had Dramamine, so no
seasickness.
On the longboat out to the fishing boat the light hearted
attitude to the day was set with a happy bunch and onto the boat, batten down
the hatches and lets get under way. What a lovely day, with the sea calm and the
gentle lapping of the waves against the side, it seemed a sin to go upstairs and
sleep in the deck chairs, but someone has to do it.
Out to the area and the small fish were no problem, the
barbie would be going well tonight and the sea was superb, what a super day, but
as the captain kept uttering “No big fish, no big fish” the day rolled on.
Too soon it seemed it was time to consider that in half an hour or so it would
be time to return, still it had been a fine day, and all were happy. “Nice
day” I said “pity about the fish, still we can’t always catch a big
one”.
With these words all hell let loose, the balloons we had out
disappeared, the heart started pounding and out of the water jumped a
magnificent sailfish, walking on the water, all does come to he who waits. Hands
on the rod, heart pumping, please don’t let me mess this one up, and I
didn’t.
After a great 40 minute fight during which the fish jumped
several more times, and circled the boat at great speed showing it’s sail
proudly above the water, it was finally brought to the side of the boat and
hauled aboard. The fish of a lifetime and at 8ft 4 ins and over 50 kg - the
biggest landed in Pattaya in 8 years. Unfortunately it had taken the bait and
hooks down and could not be saved but would look stately over someone’s bar.
Back at Bobby Joe’s the “proper fishermen” gathered to
see, never believe a fisherman, and the fish was measured and weighed. The
family who went out are now converted fishermen, especially the young son who
was beaming fit to burst, and Bua now understands the lure of the fish.
As for me, there is no truth to the rumour that I am being
sent to Borneo to get my head shrunk.
Terry and Moon clear off the field
Shenanigans Very Friendly Golf Society
Mike Franklin
Terry Phur and Moon Schwelera came in three shots clear
of the field in Shenanigans Pairs Scramble at Plutaluang on October 14. The
South and East courses were wet under foot at the start, and conditions
improved with fine weather right up to mid afternoon when the heavens opened
with torrential rain. Most of the players were already in but Terry and
Moon’s group were last and got the full impact of the storm. However,
their score held up with a gross 73 resulting in a net 66.6 off their
combined handicap of 6.4.
 (L
to R) Moon Schwelera, Mike Franklin and Terry Phur, at the presentation in
Shenanigans.
There was only one team prize as the field was small, but
the usual technicals were on offer, going to Larry Willett, Bob Pearce, Rich
Wibrow and Terry Phur for the near pins, and Kim Fletcher and Carl Bauman
for the long putts.
Tuesday October 28 is the next date, this time for a 4
Clubs Pairs Scramble. Sign-up at Shenanigans.
Caf้é Kronborg moves into third place
Pattaya Sports Club Friday Bowling League
Café้ Kronborg moved into third place ahead of
Shakey Pete’s, as they were the only one of the top four teams to win on
week 11. Once again it was Captain Kran who led the Kronborg team with a 202
game and 554 series to a three point win over Shakey Pete’s.
First place Post 9876 lost three points to Alt Koelle and
second place House of the Golden Coin lost three points to Café้ Ole.
Captain Tue led Caf้é Ole with a 202 game and 589-pin count, Mai
rolled a 211 game, 519 series and Ken added another 505-pin total. Captain
Mio was best for Golden Coin with a 200 game and 545 series. Jack & Tar
took three points from Nam Tip to remain in fifth place.
Moving up in the standings is Night Life who took three
points from Brother D. Somrak rolled a 217 game and had a 551-pin count to
lead Night Life. Jim led Nice & Sleazy to a four point sweep over Three
Sisters bowling the best series for men for over two years. Jim had games of
197, 201, and 215, for a 613 series.

1st Place A Flight: Steve Weller, net 65
2nd Place A Flight: John Emmerson, net 66
3rd Place A Flight: An Kaesavane, net 67
1st Place B Flight: Paul Walia, net 68
2nd Place B Flight: Bob Lindborg, net 69
3rd Place B Flight: Brian Wilkerson, net 70
Steve Weller knew the round was out there, it just
hadn’t been answering the call. Well it heard him in time to take the
Monthly Medal as he scorched the course with a gross 76, whooping net 65.
Every bit of that scorching was required as a sublime day had the field
tightly bunched and low.
In quick succession, Steve was followed by the Golf
Manager and An Kaesavane, each just a stroke back from the other. Paul Walia
stepped across the street from Mulligan’s and laid a net 68 on the course
for the top step in B Flight, with perennial winner Bob Lindborg just a shot
back, and Brian Wilkenson yet another back. Eddie Blackwell had an ace on
the promiscuous 16th hole that yields more easily then some of the girls on
Soi Six.

1st Place A Flight: Rick Sharp, net 72
2nd Place A Flight: John McHugh, net 74
3rd Place A Flight: Eddie Blackwell, net 74
1st Place B Flight: John Rehm, net 66
2nd Place B Flight: Eric O’Brien, net 74
3rd Place B Flight: Peter Ingham, net 74
Somebody woke John Rehm up! John who managed a lower
podium finish in several efforts went off like a bomb at Jack’s favorite
layout and left the field 6 shots clear! History suggests that the
consistency of the fairway lie can help the higher handicapper find the
“groove” and John certainly did this day. He left the lower steps to the
podium to be sorted by count back between Eric O’B and Peter Ingram. Peter
won the countback but Eric weighed more stone so he received the second
place prize.
Rick Sharp felt the account was getting a little low so
he threw level par at it and stood atop A. John McHugh edged Eddie Blackwell
on count back to sort out the rest of A.

1st Place A Flight: Troy Misiak, 40 points
2nd Place A Flight: Eddie Blackwell, 40 points
3rd Place A Flight: Stuart Brown, 40 points
1st Place B Flight: Eric O’Brien, 39 points
2nd Place B Flight: Mike Frizzell, 37 points
3rd Place B Flight: Bob Pearce, 35 points
It is always tough to loose a count back. It is always
tough not to win when you have 40 points. Well it happened to both Eddie
Blackwell and Stuart Brown as they were left to second and third in A
Flight, respectively, as Troy Misiak’s 40 was more favorably dispersed
between outward and inward nine.
Eric O’Brien continued to have his way with Pattaya as
he made his second trip to the pay window in as many attempts winning B
Flight two clear. Big Mike Frizzell came second and mild mannered Bob Pearce
third.
Friday October 17
Burapha - A & B - Blue Tees
Stroke/Medal
1st Place: Phil Groves, net 73
2nd Place: Eddie Blackwell, net 73
3rd Place: Brian Wilkerson, net 74
Phil used to visit Lewiinksi’s from his native Haven
just when he was short on cash but lately he has found the feeding so good
he has found it difficult to leave. It didn’t come easy though as
countback was required to edge red hot Eddie Blackwell for the top spot. If
my math is correct Eddie has stepped to the pay window in six of his last
seven competitions with the only “off” round being accented with a
hole-in-one. The handicap software has to be smoking just trying to keep up
with Eddie. Brian Wilkenson just quietly keeps sliding onto the podium, when
no one is looking, as he took third on the day.
Note:
Lewiinski’s will return to its traditional High Season
schedule of Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday beginning Sunday, November
2.
Unlucky 13th - for some players
3 Sisters golf
Monday was the thirteenth, but for Bob Benda, it was the
lucky thirteenth as he came in with 38 points to win the bragging rights for
the day. Bob is normally near the top of the pile but today he scrambled and
fought his way to the top with good drives and good putting. With the
fairways in terrible shape, soaked and uncut, 38 points was an excellent
score as the ball hardly moved after hitting the ground.
Following behind Bob was Derek Brook who has been right
at the top for the past few weeks. Sus Ige and Dick Worden also came in with
a big 36 points. All three came in with 36 points but could not muster
enough good shots to take the lead.
This week we had two youngsters at the bottom of the
pile. Young that is, in comparison to the field. Bill Key, with his wide
shoulders, shrugged off the load and managed to have Paul Kinner caught
under it. Both Paul and Bill managed to get 19 points each but Paul beat out
Bill on countback scoring 9 big points on the back.
Tony Barritt so near to the treble

6th Ciano Glavinia, 36 cb9 16, cb6 10, cb3 4
7th Harry Riley, 36 cb9 15
For the first time for a little while there were enough
ladies contending to form a separate division. Samantha Burke got straight
into the swing on her arrival for her bi-annual holiday, to sweep the rest
of the hopefuls into oblivion on her way to firing a six under 42 points and
easily take the top honours.
Tony Barritt took his first win of the week after a
countback that saw him edge out Peter Emslie into second place by four shots
over the back nine.
Brian Wilkinson led a group of five golfers contesting
the count back for third place by a single shot from Arthur Hancock with
Kevin Taylor, Ciano Glavinia and Harry Riley needing an exhausting countback
by the scorers to determine fourth to sixth place.
The twos were shared between Chris Davisson and Richard
Pietrzkiewiez.
Prior to the prize giving Richard Livingston, the
resident PGA Professional, welcomed new member Mike Poirrier and also
welcomed back Kevin Taylor, Samantha Burke, Moe Deverdenne, Roar Berger and
Ole Stamnes.

3rd Sven Berthlesen, 74
2nd Division:
1st Dave Lee, 71 cb9 35
2nd Bob Lindborg, 71 cb9 36
3rd Peter Emslie, 74
Bangphra is nearly back to its old self with the greens
showing all their expected trickery and penalising anyone foolish enough to
leave their ball above the hole on the approach shot, which almost
inevitably produced a three putt and left the aspirations of many in tatters
during the day.
Tony Barritt is at last beginning to show some of his old
potential as he led the first division to take his second win of the week by
a shot from Kevin Taylor with Sven Berthlesen another shot back in third.
Dave Lee continued his good run of form just managing to
beat Bob Lindborg into second with a better back nine after lagging by one
at the turn. Peter Emslie although a further three shots back took third by
a slightly bigger margin from Saranya Chaiyanont.
The twos were shared between Chris Davisson and Samantha
Burke.
Before the prize giving Richard welcomed back Brian Kelly
and Igor Saktor.

3rd Arthur Hancock, 37
4th Takeshi Hakozaki, 34 cb9 19
5th Al Rolnik, 34 cb9 16
6th Dave Lee, 34 cb9 14
It is a bit of a drive to get to Noble Place along the
331, but for those that made the effort to get there and play the excellent
Nick Faldo designed course, the effort was well worth while, as the days
contestants found the course to be first class condition in every respect.
Tony Barritt was trying to equal “The Docs” record of three wins in a
week, and very nearly made it. But he came up against a brick wall in the
shape of Mike Poirrier, who took his first win out of The Haven by two
shots, and dashed any hopes that he might have had of setting a new record
run.
Arthur Hancock once again figured in the prizes, a
further shot away in third.
Takaheshi Hakozaki claimed fourth place following a
countback from Al Rolnik and the now usual suspect Dave Lee.
The twos pool was shared between Ray Walton, Mike
Poirrier, Tony Barritt, Arthur Hancock and Trevor Schirmer.
Perry’s champagne golf at Noble Place
IPGC golf at the Bunker
A large group of Bunker Boys travelled the
rough and rocky road to Noble Place on Tuesday, October 14, for their weekly
medal round. They found the B and C courses in good condition after the
heavy seasonal rains and a feast of golf was aniticipated by all golfers.
The field was cut into two divisions at eighteen and
under and in division one Magnus Johansson fired and excellent gross 79, net
72, to grab third place. Second was Bob Morrison, very much on top of his
game at present, with his fine 70, but leading the pack was Gerhard Schulze,
playing off the lower of his two handicaps, with a fine net 69.
Division two saw the highlight of the day as Binni
Josteinsson carded an excellent level par 72 for a round that saw him caress
and cajole in some monster putts. Playing in the same four-ball was Les
Harber who had even greater success, firing a total of net 69. The round of
the day was produced by Perry McNeely, “holidaying” from the
Philippines, and the course held no dangers for him as he recorded a
five-under par net 67. Handicap adjustments loom for the latter two players!
There were no birdie two’s and this surprised a non-playing Mr. Loy but he
relished awarding the Bunker Banana Booby to John Gregory for his mistaken
advice to his playing group that the competition was stableford based. All
four “scratched” on a hole and therefore disqualified themselves! John,
check the facts before you offer advice next time. Tuesdays are medal at the
Bunker and Thursdays are stableford.
McNeely does it again
The Bunker Boys, under the direction of Mr. Loy, took to
the notorious route #331 for the second time in three days, to play their
weekly stableford competition at Treasure Hill on Thursday, October 16.
Despite the absence of a few regulars, for whom a repeat journey was too
much, the twenty players enjoyed the day on a course much improved and in
fine and dry conditions.
The cut was at 18 and under and in division one scratch
golfer Keith Smithson used his wonderful short game to tease 31 points out
of the difficult course. One point ahead of him was Mark Joshua, on 32 and
topping the group was Bill Hewitt, fresh from his break in England. Bill’s
34 points was an excellent achievement, given the course’s reputation.
Division two players all struggled and only two managed to top thirty
points. Steve Chadwick took third place with his meagre 23 points and John
Gregory entered the clubhouse, smiling, with 35 points. Way out in front was
new Bunker player, Perry McNeely, who used his PSC USGA handicap of 20 to
amass an incredible 40 points. He then honorably applied for IPGC membership
and a handicap more in tune with his current game. Perry joined Steve Nowell
and John Gregory in a share of the Bunker Super Sawng award, the trio
recording birdie two’s and smiling Leo Murphy lapped up the Bunker Banana
Booby, swearing that next time he would improve on his paltry 15 points.

Bangpakong
Stableford
The beautiful and pristine Bangpakong Riverside Country
Club was host for a Stableford competition. The fairways were very firm
with plenty of run, the greens were hard and true and the bunkers had real
sand. Conditions were hot and humid but some good scores were had.
 Dave
Richardson
Tournament organiser Dave Richardson took first place
with a fine 39 points, ahead of in second Gene Rooney with 38 points. In
third was Bill Plath with 37 points and in fourth Jay Perrin with 36
points.
The day was thoroughly enjoyed by all who found it a
fine course to play.
Thursday October 16
Khao Kheow
Stableford
The test for the day at Khao Kheow was the A & B
courses and while not in the best of condition this is always a tough test.
As said the course has suffered a little of late due to the excess of rain
but at least whilst last week we could only take carts on the cart paths,
now we can go in the rough and this saves a fair walk. Mind it is still
pretty soggy in places.
 Bruce
McAdam
Still what a magnificent course and especially tough
with the rough a bit long and wet, so in the circumstances it was not
surprising that not one person beat the course and we only had one score of
35 points.
The winner of the A flight, 0 to 16,was Brian Noguer
with 34 points ahead of Stuart Thompsen with 33 points and Gene Rooney came
in third with 32 points.
 Brian
Noguer
The winner of the B flight, 17 upwards, was Bruce Adams
with 35 points ahead of John Sinclair with 34 and in third place was the
new ‘Most photographed man in Pattaya’, Tim Holt with 31 points.
Back in the fine restaurant time was passed consuming the fine Kheo Beef
before the next days Monthly Tournament could get at it.
The 5th ‘Diana Gold’
Charity Golf Tournament
Friday November 14,
Plutaluang Thai Navy Golf Course
Mike Franklin
The 5th ‘Diana Gold’ Charity Golf Tournament,
sponsored by Chivas Regal, will be held on its usual mid-November day,
Friday November 14, at Plutaluang Thai Navy Golf Course.
The tournament format will be singles Stroke play on the
East and South courses, with all groups teeing off from the first hole East
Course, from 07.30 am to 12.30 pm.
The East and South nines have been booked for the whole
day, so the only possible delay will be if groups are not keeping up with
the group in front, as the usual crossover delay between the nines has been
eliminated.
Marshals will be about the course to give
‘assistance’, where necessary, to ensure a smooth round for everyone and
preferred tee times may be booked within the ‘Starting Time Periods’
shown on the Entry Form’.
As Plutaluang does not allow golf carts to be pre-booked,
they will be pre- purchased for you on the day, provided your request is
clearly shown on the entry form and your paid entry is in before the number
of available carts has been taken up.
Bookings can be made, using the entry form, at the Diana
Inn with John Cole, or with me.
As in the previous four years of the event, the key word
is ‘Gold’ and there will be at least one One-baht Gold item to be won on
every hole, and gold to be won in the lucky charity draw too.
All proceeds from the event will go to support the
Chonburi Juvenile & Family Court Observation and Protection Center, and
provide scholarships for children at Banglamung Schools.
Details and entry forms are available at the venues,
Diana Inn and Green Bottle Pub, and in Pattaya Mail so here is an early
opportunity to sign-up for Diana Gold and guarantee a preferred tee time and
golf cart.
Holes on the East and South courses are also up for a
One-Baht Gold, sponsorship with the sponsor board on display on the day, and
thereafter for one year at the Diana Garden Resort & Driving Range.
Shenanigans ‘Four Club’ Challenge
Shenanigans Very Friendly Golf
Society goes to Pattaya Country Club on Tuesday October 28 for one of those
rare occasions when the players may only use four clubs on the course.
However, the ‘challenge’ is made somewhat easier as
the format is a Pairs Scramble, which means that the ‘Pair’ may have
eight clubs altogether. Careful pairing and club selection will make for an
interesting round, and probably answer the question as to why we need so
many clubs in the bag anyway.
Sign-up at Shenanigans for Tuesday October 28.
PSC golf from Bobby Joe’s 60’s bar
Friday October 10
Sriracha
Stableford
Up with the larks, or so it felt, I stumbled into Bobby
Joe’s just as the rest were thinking of going. This cold will not go away,
to be met by Bob Benda, the Organiser, in similar straights. So that’s two
who aren’t going to win, and how right I was. Still I am going to have my
breakfast before I go, after all I am driving so if I get upset l will take
my ball home.
 Bobby
presents to Bob Benda and Eric O’Brien.
At Sriracha all starts well, we can have a cart and on
the 1st the temporary green has gone, so far so good, but the greens are now
like glass and the next course to be played is Siam. Help!
A lot of work is going on there now but we are informed
the course will be completed by December and from what is seen it will be a
fine course. Of course on this day we met two new temporary greens that
nudged the patience of some. Still I think most of our group would play this
course regularly as it is a fine course with a fine clubhouse and cold
showers.
 Bobby
presents to Mac McCaskill and Tim Holt.
On this day I played with Eric O’Brien who had a fine
round and looked all the way the winner, until Mac came in with an even
finer round and won his first competition ever.
Back at Bobby’s as the players tucked into one of his
fine Chilli Concarnys, Mac still in shock proceeded to buy all a drink, more
than once, to enable him to have the biggest Bar Bill of the week. An
informal vote has been taken, and Mac could be winning every week until he
leaves. Cheers and yes Mac I’ll have another, thanks. What home?
Winner: Mac McCaskill
Technical Prizes: Bob Benda (2), Tim Holt, Eric O’Brien
Lucky Draw: Andy Evans
Peacock Bowling and Snooker Leagues
Mixed Doubles Bowls had some great matches again this
week where Peacock just held on to win 6 - 4 against Yellowbirds in the
lowest scoring match of the season. Bakehouse were almost in Double Trouble,
4 - 0 down after two ends, but came back to beat them 9 - 7. Then they came
against an inspired Thaied team where Mam and Eddie kept their noses in
front all the way to give Bakehouse only their second defeat of the season 8
- 7. The last match saw Yellowbirds David and Lek win 18 - 2 over an unlucky
Double Trouble.
Ladies were a little depleted this week due to School
Holidays but Mam scored her first win of the season 11 - 5 over Danny, Sue
but then came up against in form Lek going down 14 - 2.
In the Snooker, Bill suffered his second defeat of the
year going down 87 - 17 to Derek, but still looks in good shape for the
title.
The Leagues are:
Lawn Bowling League
Mickey Mouse Darts League
Sunday Quiz League
Wednesday Quiz League
Pattaya Pool League
