United march on with 4-1 victory over Pichit
 Staff Reporters
Pattaya United were on a revenge mission against TTM
Pichit FC at the Nonprue Stadium last Sunday after suffering a
humiliating 3-0 loss to their northern Thai rivals earlier in the
season.
The home side were able to welcome back club captain
Niweat Siriwong to the left back position for this match but despite
fielding a strong line up it was the visitors who started the game more
brightly and they had the ball in the back of the Pattaya United net
after only 8 minutes, however fortunately for United the goal was ruled
out for offside.
The ‘Dolphins’ hit straight back and within 3 minutes
they had taken the lead themselves through left winger Premwut Wongdee.

A quick throw-in down the left side of the field was
controlled by Ludovick who cleverly turned the ball inside to Teerawekin
Srihawong, creating space for the midfielder to run into. Srihawong then
cut into the box before squaring the ball to Wongdee who had the simple
task of tapping home from 5 yards out.
It was just the boost United and their fans needed
but, far from lying down, Pichit proceeded to frustrate United’s rare
attacks in the remainder of the first half while having themselves a
couple of decent efforts on goal that Pattaya keeper Narit had to be
alert to to keep the ‘Dolphins’ in front at the break.
The visitors continued to pile on the pressure in the
second half with Kraikitti In-utane shooting over from a corner kick and
Brazilian striker Valci J๚nior seeing his 20 yard free kick well saved
by Narit, with Kraikitti unable to turn in the rebound.
It was nervous stuff from United, and not for the
first time this season they were found guilty of trying to hold onto a
one goal lead, and in the process concede too much possession and
territory to their opponents.
When Valci flashed a header just wide of the
Dolphins’ goal on the hour mark the alarm bells were ringing and it was
time for United to up their game, and that’s exactly what they did
through their star forward pairing of Ludovick and Chanabut.
In the 66th minute Ludovick
chased down the left wing and managed to harry the defender enough into
giving the ball away. The Cameroonian then squared the ball to Tana
Chanabut who took one touch before firing a low shot past the Pichit
keeper and in off the far post.
Pichit attempted to hit straight back and they were
unlucky once more when the lively Narong Jansawek saw his well struck
free-kick rebound off the Pattaya goalpost with Narit seemingly beaten.
To add insult to injury, United went back up the
field and scored a third and decisive goal just 5 minutes later through
Srihawong, who found the ball at his feet 2 yards out after the Pichit
defence had failed dismally to deal with a Pattaya corner kick.
Srihawong kept his composure to score and make the game safe for the
home team.
With the game now in the bag, United decided to ring
the changes and one of the loudest cheers of the afternoon was reserved
for the appearance of player/coach Thavatchai, who replaced Srihawong in
the 83rd minute. The crowd cheered every touch of
the ball by the veteran midfielder and it seemed somehow fitting that
United should score a fourth goal with the stadium in party mode. Tana
chased down a long ball into the Pichit area only to be felled by a
lunging challenge from Pichit keeper Todsaporn. Ludovick stepped up to
slot the resultant spot kick calmly past Todsaporn and thus maintain his
tremendous goal scoring record this season.
There was just time before the end of the match for
Pichit to grab a deserved consolation goal through Kraikitti after Narit
made a hash of collecting a knock down from a free-kick.
The win keeps United in fourth place in the table,
above Thai Port FC on goal difference only. United were due to travel to
third place Buriram PEA FC this past Wednesday and will take on sixth
placed Bangkok Glass on Saturday in the capital with both games sure to
have a large bearing on the end of season positions.
Muang Thong still lead the way on 48 points following
their 3-0 win at Bangkok United. Chonburi FC are clinging on to the
leaders’ coat tails some five points behind after they secured a 1-0
away win at Sri Sa Ket, the goal coming from Ndebi Berlin in the 4th
minute last Saturday.
Chonburi were due to play BEC Tero on Wednesday and will face a
difficult away fixture at SCG Samut Songram this coming Sunday.
Evergreen Thaworn has eyes on Thailand Open title
Thai veteran Thaworn Wiratchant is all geared up to
put a seal on his glittering career by winning the Thailand Open in
Pattaya next week.
The in-form Thai has won 11 titles on the Asian
circuit and was crowned the region’s number one in 2005. A win on his
home Open, however, has so far eluded him.

But Thaworn will feel very much at home at Burapha
Golf Club, the scene of the US$1 million Thailand Open on OneAsia from
August 26-29. He has a strong history there having won back-to-back
Singha Pattaya Opens at Burapha in 2003 and 2004, and personally regards
it as a happy hunting ground.
“I would love to win my home Open,” said the
43-year-old Thaworn. “It is the tournament every Thai player wants to
win as we are playing for the King’s Trophy.
“I have won before at Burapha Golf Club but from what
I hear they are using a different layout this time. Still, I have good
memories of the course.”
Thaworn, whose peerless short game compensates for
his lack of length off the tee, finished fifth at the last tournament on
OneAsia, the Indonesia Open presented by Enjoy Jakarta. He followed that
up with victory at the Singha E-San Open on the Mercedes-Benz Tour.
“I surprised myself with the win at the E-San Open as
it is a very long course and I was yards behind the young guys off the
tee,” said Thaworn. “But I played well around the greens and that saw me
through.”
Thaworn will be up against a strong field at the
Thailand Open with 53 of his countrymen, including Kiradech Aphibarnrat
and Udorn Duangdecha, who have also tasted victory at Burapha Golf Club.
Hua Hin-based Scotsman Simon Yates has also done well
on this course and will tee off at Burapha with them next week.
Liang Wenchong, currently second on OneAsia’s Order
of Merit, will want his say in the final outcome.
The Chinese number one will be in a confident mood
after a career-best eighth place finish at the PGA Championship last
Sunday, the final Major of the year. He made headlines worldwide on day
three by setting a new course record of eight-under-par 64 at Whistling
Straits on the shores of Lake Michigan.
Victory in the season-opening Luxehills Chengdu Open
and a runner-up finish at the Indonesia Open presented by Enjoy Jakarta
have taken Liang to within US$100,000 of Y. E. Yang at the top of the
Order of Merit.
A win for Liang at the Thailand Open would see him
leapfrog the Korean winner of the Volvo China Open into first place with
five tournaments remaining on the 2010 schedule.
Highly popular Shingo Katayama, Japan’s number one on
five occasions and the winner of 26 events on the lucrative circuit
during a brilliant career, will also tee it up at Burapha Golf Club
along with New Zealand’s Michael Hendry, the runaway winner of the
Indonesia Open.
This year’s Thailand Open is being co-sponsored by Singha
Corporation, PTT Public Company Limited, Thailand Convention &
Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), Emirates, and CAT Telecom Public Company
Limited. (Source - World Sport Group)
Gold medalist leads dragon boat coaching seminar
Rowing
and canoeing coaches from eight SE Asian countries attend
the coaching seminar in Sattahip on August 8.
Patcharapol Panrak
Former Olympic gold medalist Scaba Santo taught boaters
from eight countries winning techniques in dragon-boat racing at an Asian
Canoe Confederation coaching seminar in Sattahip.
The Aug. 8 workshop at the Sattahip Naval Base was
organized by the ACC with cooperation from the Rowing and Canoeing
Association of Thailand. Fifty-eight coaches from Hong Kong, Macau,
Malaysia, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand took part.
Thai association head Adm. Nipon Jaksu said the ACC
course was a new one and was being held for the first time in Thailand. It
was a great opportunity, he said, to improve the standard of Thai coaches.
The seminar was also a chance to prepare for the 16th
Asian Games in China and 26th Southeast Asian Games in
Indonesia. Thailand hopes to win a gold medal at both events, he said.
Winfield free-wheels it at Pleasant Valley

The Drut
Monday, August 9, Pleasant
Valley - Stableford
The Admiral is still on the injured list however the
latest news is that he is recovering well and is as toey as a Roman sandal
to resume playing.
Nineteen starters, which is a very good number during the
low season, departed at 0815 hours and arrived at the course 40 minutes
later. The new Boon bus is a revelation as the previous means of
transportation was known as the constipation coach - it couldn’t pass
anything.
Playing off the white tees the first group teed off at
0940 hours in fine conditions with a light breeze prevailing and finished
four hours and twenty five minutes later.
The course is in good condition however the greens were
slow and a couple were cored and sanded. The tree planting programme between
the 10th and 11th fairways is progressing well.
Martin Todd, who has been playing very consistently and
with two wins at his last two starts, was under more pressure than a Sumo
wrestler’s beanbag to produce the goods. He kept up his good form to finish
in third place in the A flight.
The star of the day was Mike Winfield in the B flight. In
nautical terms he was free-wheeling downhill with a wet sail and blitzed the
field with 42 points off his 20 handicap.
Courtesy of his great round the handicapper introduced
him to a 17 mark for his next game, which naturally went down like a lead
balloon.
One player on the 17th was standing off the green however
was in line with the flag. A playing partner thinned one out of the bunker
from the other side of the green and despite his best leap frog effort; the
ball collected him right between the loose change and the handkerchief. The
message here is, make sure you are not in line with the pin when someone is
coming out of the Lebanese Lawn (bunker). And no, his caddy did not offer
assistance to relieve the pain.
The coveted Compass Cap was won for the second time on
the trot by Les Hall who reckoned he had as much trouble with his game as
Lord Horatio Nelson did shuffling a deck of cards.
We welcomed Andrew Makara from the United States and Tom
Cotton from Tropical Berts.
Assisting checking the cards were Martin Todd and Paul
Avery which was much appreciated. Also a big thank you must go to Ted Morris
who is very supportive of the efforts of all the presenters who run the golf
out of the Cafe Kronborg.
A Flight (0–16)
1st Mike Gosden (12) 39pts
2nd Paul Avery (10) 39pts

Treasure Hill – Stableford
Seventeen intrepid golfers gathered at the Kronborg for
the journey to Treasure Hill. Arriving at the course some 50 minutes later
we were delighted to see only about a dozen vehicles in the car park.
However the first group, who teed off at 0935 hours, were
behind a Thai five-ball who played off the back social tees, walked and it’s
a fair bet looking at their swings they would have had more hits than Elvis
and The Beatles put together. Despite this the first group completed their
round in four hours and forty minutes.
The course was in good condition and the greens albeit a
touch slow if you were beneath the pin, putted truly. The ground staff were
busy with renovations which will enhance the reputation of the golf course.
It goes without saying that the par fives here are
challenging to say the least, but it didn’t worry Ken Bernek who compiled an
excellent 39 points to be a runaway winner in the B flight, with Bent
Moeller second with 35 points and Kenny Chung in third place with 33 points.
In the A flight it was a tight finish which saw Owen
Walkley with 34 points pip Martin Todd on a count-back with Per-Olav Baarli
in third spot with 33 points.
Les Hall, who was coming off back to back Compass Cap
victories, avoided the treble today with a determined effort. It’s amazing
what incentive can do for your golf. The coveted Compass Cap was won by Paul
Avery who indicated his putting had the finesse of an orangutan with a
Stradivarius.
Mike Winfield, who was reduced by three shots after his
Monday round, finished a fair bit off the pace and was heard to mutter
something along the lines, “it looks like I’m headed towards the golfers
glue factory.”
We welcomed Marnie Kregor and John Haddon from Australia,
Bent Moeller from Denmark, Henry Wong from the United States and Kenny Chung
who hadn’t had a game with us for some while.

Twenty five players took on Green Valley from the white
tees and Graham Beaumont (12) led the way home in the A flight with a fine
40points. He was followed in by John Murdoch (12) in second with 36 points
and Helmut Hebstreit (12) with 35.
Keith Johnson (21) topped the B Flight with 39 points on
count-back ahead of Jim Boyd (23) in second. Robert Marsh (27) was third on
37 points.
Five ‘2’s came from Clive Bruce, Ramsay Smith, Helmut
Hebstreit, Graham Beaumont and Mike Phillips
Wednesday, August 11,
Bangpra - Stableford
Bangpra was in a wet condition as the 16 players began
off from the white tees and a “lift, clean & place” ruling had to be
employed.
The conditions didn’t seem to bother Damian Trant (9) too
much as he came home first in the A flight with 34 points, one ahead of
second placed Ted Gardiner.
Bruce Toilitt (17) was the victor in the B flight with 33
points and John Fraser (20) took the runner up spot with 32.
A single ‘2’ came courtesy of Ramsay Smith.
Note: The Caddyshack is situated in Soi 8
Threppasit, follow the Soi to the well appointed Old English style Bar. We
play golf twice a week (Wed/Fri) and can also arrange golf outside these
days. Call Bruce 081 865 3104, 038-300 683 or Email [email protected]
Hamstad holds

Greenwood A & C – Stableford
Things seem to be coming back to normal on the Golf front
with more players now turning out. On this day we had a full list and
breakfast at Bert’s was quite like the old days. Utter confusion as some did
not turn out and many more did. Situation normal.
Steve Hamstad with Mike O’Brien and one of Bert’s
helpers.
At Greenwood we soon booked in and were sent to the C
Nine and were able to get away a little early. The course was in its usual
fine condition with the fairways in good shape, and I thought the greens
were quite fast and true. That is apart from the annoying habit a lot of the
courses have of cutting the hole and not then tamping down the area around
the hole. The outcome is that a putt will not die into the hole but rolls
off the mound. Quite exciting really!
So we got around and for the first time in a while the
weather was fine and we were not threatened by rain and storms. We did see
some other groups on the course and all seemed to be moving along quite
well.
Back at Bert’s the presentation was made and we had a big
surprise, Mashi was not in the frame, but be warned he will be back soon. So
the winner was Steve Hamstad with 38 points ahead of a three way count-back
on 37 points that saw Mike O’Brien in second, Bill Knight in third and Doug
Maiko in fourth. In fifth was Steve Compton with 35 points.
We then set to and enjoyed happy hour. T.T.F.N.
Near Pins: Doug Maiko, Steve Compton, Neil Shaw (2)

Willy van Heetvelde in dominant form at Green Valley
Jomtien Golf with the IPGC
Monday, August 9, St.
Andrews – Stableford
A favourite course amongst our members and still with a
reasonable price, it attracted 23 players out there today,
There was a six hundred yard difference between the white
and yellow tees and after a little discussion we opted for the forward white
tees, much to the majority’s preference.
The course was in excellent condition but with very slick
and tricky greens, however this did not deter Rob Lamond and he posted 38
points to win Division 1, with an amazing 21 points on the back nine. Chris
Voller was second two points behind and in third place with 33 points was
Stuart Thompson.
The ‘four weeks on/four weeks off’ boys took first and
second places in Division 2 with Richard Kings winning with 34 points and
Willy van Heetvelde coming in second two points behind. There are four
players contesting third place all with 31 points; Ian Hart lost out with a
back nine count-back of 14, Tony Duthie and Barry Rawlinson had 15 points
each, but with 16 Tony Holehouse claimed the last podium spot.
Near pins went to Carl Lovatt (x2), Andy Robinson, Billy
Hewitt, Bryan Priestley and Terry Redding.
There were an amazing four ‘2’s today on the par three
tenth, 160 yards over the water and with the pin in a difficult position.
Bill Hewitt, Rob Lalmond and Chris Voller were the sharp shooters in
Division 1, Richard Kings in Division 2, and Terry Redding hit his tee shot
on the 17th within three feet of the pin to share the
rollover with Richard.
Wednesday, August 11,
Green Valley - Stableford
With diminishing numbers now that many have returned to
the UK and Europe, there were only 19 out today with the cut in Division 1
coming at 19 and under.
After the recent relocation of the first hole to the
previous fifth hole, stroke index 1, we were informed that the tee would be
moved to avoid the long carry over the water, but upon arrival the white tee
was in the normal position and the starter was adamant we had to start from
here. After two shots into the water on this hole, Willy van Heetvelde
improved his game over the next seventeen holes and with nine points on the
last two he won Division 2 at a canter with 41 points.
Joe Kubon beat Tony Holehouse for second place on a back
three count-back of 7/6 after they both finished with 19 points on the back
nine and 32 overall.
Ya Riley won Division 1 with 35 points, with Chris Voller
second one point behind and the resident lady here at Green Valley, Miss
Sang, in third with 32 points.
There are no ‘2’s in either division so a double rollover
to Crystal Bay on Monday.
Friday, August 13, Eastern
Star – Stableford
After our annual visit to Hua Hin there were 11 players
joining us from there in today’s competition, so there were 29 men out plus
five of our ladies in their own game.
Thirty-two points won Division 1 for Mikael Andersson
with Chris Voller in second place one point behind and Tom Sathrum beat Andy
Baber on a 19/18 count-back for third after they both came in with 30
points.
‘Count-back Burnie’ beat Chris Reed 21/20 on the back
nine to win Division 2 after they both finished with 36 points and Cully
Monks was third with 33.
Miss Kung won the Ladies division with 33 points and Miss
Noi was second on 31. Josie Monks played her best round for some time,
scoring 28 points for third, well done to her.
Near pins went to Miss Kung, Mikael Andersson, Andy
Baber, Chris Voller, Dan ‘the Man’, Josie Monks, Scott Cooper, Barry
Rawlinson.
Andy Baber birdied the 6th and
Chris Reed the 13th to win both divisions in the ‘2’s
today.
Many thanks from all of us at Jomtien Golf to Roger’s
group for providing the buffet back at Siam Cats later that evening.
Priddy passes stern test
IPGC Pattaya Golf Society at Rabbi’s Elephant Bar
The Pattaya Golf Society travelled to Greenwood on
Tuesday, August 10 for the first of its two regular monthly merit
events, this time stableford over the A and C nines. With the white tees
well back and lightly sanded but uncut greens, the course was best
described by a senior member of the group as “brutal”: long and with
slow greens, just the tonic for the group.
The two flights were cut at fifteen and under and in
the top division Peter Duncan joined Paul McNally in a share of second
place with 32 points each, Paul firing the day’s best gross figures of
82, whilst Haven regular Fred Land went one better with a fine 33 points
for the win.
In the second flight Ronnie Ramsay and Masashi Iizumi
shared second place with 30 points whilst Kenny Priddy, again from the
Haven, fired the best score of the day, 36 points for the win.
There were no birdie ‘2’s and the Booby Bevy went to
Tim Lazecki for making a poor fist of the round having shot one-under at
Plantation on his previous outing. This despite the pressing claim by
Paul Bartlett for depositing his scorecard in the locked Caddy
Evaluation box after the round. The question on everyone’s lips was
“Which box did it go into? ‘Excellent’, ‘Good’, ‘Fair’ or ‘Poor”?”
On days such as this Greenwood is truly a challenge
and golfers need a round like that once in a while.
Masashi takes a
holiday fling
The Pattaya Golf Society celebrated the birthday of
HM the Queen with a good stableford competition at Rayong CC on
Thursday, August 12, with hardly any others golfers there to slow things
down. Times are hard when even local gofers miss out on a holiday
opportunity such as this.
In a very competitive field it was perhaps
appropriate that two Thai golfers should be in the frame and in third
place was newest IPGC member Mali Upakam, the former Green Valley caddy
scoring an impressive 34 points. Ahead of her in second place was Wichai
Tananusorn with 35 and the best gross figures of the day.
The winner was popular Japanese golfer Masashi Iizumi
and his 36 points was a reflection of his accuracy throughout the round.
It was helped by an exquisite birdie ‘2’ on the seventh and he shared
the pot with Tony Thorne after another fine effort on sixteen.
The Booby Bevy was reserved for Tony Thorne for
achieving a “Sorbent” in Aussie parlance, wiping three consecutive holes
from four through six. The day stayed fine throughout and the holiday
competition was a success at Rayong CC.
Eastern Star is waning
fast
The very patient golfers of the Pattaya Golf Society
visited Eastern Star on Saturday, August 14, in the vain hope that they
could enjoy a stableford competition on the once favourite course. The
weather, which was miserable, was probably the best feature of the day
and it is sad to see once pristine greens now scarred and bare. But, as
a club member commented, they are now consistent!
This was the backdrop to the competition and little
wonder scores were no more than moderate with Tony Thorne and Martin
Solberg sharing second place with 31 points each. The day’s winner was
local member Mikael Andersson and his score of 32 points mirrored his
winning effort the previous day with the Jomtien group. Eastern Star two
days in succession - he must be keen!
There were no birdie ‘2’s and the Booby Bevy was
reserved for Paul Bartlett for leaving his change bag in Rabbi’s in the
morning and his dirty bag in the winner’s car in the evening. At least
it gave the golfers some light relief on an otherwise pretty miserable
day at Eastern Star.
Wood eagles 18 to end ten year medal drought
PSC golf from Lewiinski’s
Sunday, August 8, Green
Valley - Monthly Medal
A Flight
1st Mark Wood (10) net 68
2nd David Hamilton (6) net 68
B Flight
1st Jez Lees (17) net 73
2nd Joe Tynan (33) net 73
Red Flight

2nd Yui Bietry (13) net 81
Near Pins: No4 Chris Davisson, No9 Yui Bietry, No12 Pierre Bietry, No16
Mark Wood.
Until now Mark Wood could easily be described as the best
Lewiinski’s golfer never to have won a monthly medal. Well today this fine
Scottish lad finally ended ten years of hurt and many a near miss as his
best of the day net 68 gave him his first medal win. Mark’s round was
further notable in that it was achieved courtesy of an eagle on the par four
eighteenth hole. This achievement also gave Mark the sole ownership of the
‘2’s pot to add to his near pin money on the par 3 sixteenth hole.
Sunday’s winners: Jez Lees, Mike Craighead and Mark Wood.
Mark was pushed all the way by the unlucky David Hamilton
who was relegated to second via a count back.
Jez ‘The Principal’ Lees took top spot in B Flight with
another count-back victory over Joe ‘SatNav’ Tynan as both leveled off with
a net73. Interestingly, Jez was playing with medal winner Mark and managed a
birdie himself on the 18th, but lost his private
England/Scotland match with Mark as the latter’s eagle gave him a 2-up
victory.
There were no surprises in the Red Flight as Mike added
another mug to his collection, which now stands at six for the year. Yui
Bietry came second two shots back of Mike’s net 79. As most of our readers
know, Mark and multiple qualifier Mike will go on to contest the gold medal
later in the year.
Back at Lewiinski’s it was party time as Mark, Jez then
Jay made it a hat-trick of bell rings.
A footnote to the day: readers may note that Mark
followed up his win today with an amazing 44 points the very next day whilst
playing back at Green Valley with our friends from The Golf Club. Quite a
couple of day’s golf! Let’s see what the handicappers make of it all.

The formidable plantation was the setting for today’s
bash, as the course glared its teeth with only one competitor bettering par.
Bob McPhail fashioned a fine 39 points for the top rung on the ladder.
Robert Mcvey posted a solid even par for the second
position, leaving Craig Weyer with a very respectable 35 points to fill the
flight.
No ‘2’s were recorded double rollover Friday.

Mountain Shadow - Stableford
1st Morten Esseth (20) 38pts
2nd
Seamus Cotter (11) 38pts
It is always tough to lose on count-back. It is always
tough not to win at Mountain Shadow when you post 38 rock solid points, but
that’s what happened to the good Captain, as Morten Esseth gained a
memorable victory via the resulting count-back to win the day’s honors.
Also on offer today was a double ‘2’s rollover that went
untouched resulting in a treble rollover next Tuesday at St Andrews?

Monday, August 9,
Burapha - Stableford
What a long starting hole the first on B is, from the
blue tee, some 430 yards up hill; what mortal can reach that in two? The
other nine we played was D, from the whites, since we believe the head
groundsman’s forgotten how wide a fairway should be and if you miss,
boy, is the rough tough! But even if you get through the first eight
holes on D with a fair score, you still have to contend with the 9th
– another monster par 4 - it’s only 460 yard long.
Emerald winners, Don Everett (Div B)
and Murray Hart (Div A) with PGA Pro Joe Moore.
Twenty six Outbackers today in pleasant playing
conditions, although the greens were a little hairy, making then very
grainy (maybe keeping them long ahead of the upcoming Asian Tour event)
and B looked a tad scruffy in places, perhaps as a result of all the new
pro tee boxes they have been building.
The top scores were in Div B from Sel Wegner and
Stefan Hoge, both making 37 points with Bob Finley back in third on 34.
Sel, who is on an extended stay here in Pattaya, has turned in some
consistent results with the Outback, and it was not a difficult decision
for Capt’ Bob and General Jack to cut him to 13 for the foreseeable
future.
In Div A, Bobby Driggs, a lefty, appeared to be
running away with it on the front nine, scoring an excellent 20 points
after holing some long putts. However, he came back to the field on the
back after hitting one OB on the long 4th on D,
then, to the amusement of the caddies and his playing partners, he
borrowed a right handed driver, turned it upside down, and proceeded to
hit his provisional ball, quite well!
Jack (35pts) missed a couple of putts but managed to
hang on to second just ahead of Steve Mann (34pts), who was on a back
nine charge.
There were four ‘2’s from Capt’ Bob, Rick Evans &
Scotty Qua had two.
Div A (0-13)
1st Robert Driggs (12) 36pts

Pleasant Valley - Stableford
Although not as popular an alternate on a Monday as
Green Valley, the 8 Outbackers who played at Pleasant Valley put on a
high class show, with everybody scoring 30 points or more, playing from
the blue tees, except Suzi, who played from the reds, of course.
George Bishop, suffering from a recent slump in form
which has seen his handicap go out to 16, bounced back with his old
swing to storm the field with a great 43 points, to win by six from his
playing partners, Paul Greenaway in second (37pts) and Bernie Stafford
(aka Sausage) with 36.
There were two ‘2’s from George and Suzi.
Our thanks today to Joe for organising the day and
for the record, the course was in fair shape.
1st George Bishop (16) 43pts
2nd Paul Greenaway (11) 37pts
3rd Bernie Stafford (15) 36pts
Tuesday, August 10, Pattaya C.C. - Stableford
What a wonderful crazy day at Pattaya Country Club;
not only did we have to contend with Norm (the chatter) Cheetham with
his dodgy Aussie handicap but we also had a group of players (a
six-ball) from Scandinavia who teed off over two hours before us (about
7am). They quite happily called us all through at the drink stop before
the 16th and were clearly really enjoying the day.
As we teed off from the 18th, one of them, teeing
off from the 16th, fell over and couldn’t get up,
quite literally having to crawl from the tee, much too everybody’s
amusement - and we think we drink too much! A couple of minutes later he
was bundled into to the Marshall’s cart and escorted back to the
clubhouse. Good on you guys!
Right, down to business! Sixteen players today,
course OK but four greens sanded making life difficult. Just the one
division with places down to fifth.
Terry Marney with 37 points won again (is he getting
too comfortable off his 27 H/cap?) and the Cheetham was second, also
with 37. He tried hard (Norm that is) to get the organiser (Chad) to
amend the count-back system but to no avail but the chatter alone nearly
persuaded him, just to shut him up.
Geoff Doody (35pts) took third ahead of Roger Yabsley
(34pts), last week’s winner, who was a different golfer today on the
front nine, but he came back with a vengeance, racking up a massive 22
points to take fourth place ahead of Jack, who finished birdie, birdie.
There were two ‘2’s from Unto Kilvonen.
If you want a good day out and a game of golf with no
pressure, come and join us any Tuesday at 9.30am sharp!
1st Terry Marney (27) 37pts
2nd Norm Cheetham (18) 37pts
3rd Geoff Doody (21) 35pts
4th Roger Yabsley (25) 34pts
5th Jack Moseley (13) 34pts
Wednesday,August 11, The Emerald - Stableford
Emerald, as usual, was in great condition and it was
very nice of Candy, the Manager to greet us at the door, and the fact
that we had booked for six groups but turned up with nine didn’t pose a
problem.
There was a match between the Scots, Ian & Scotty and
the North Brits, Paul & Bernie, which was won by the Scots, 1 Up, much
to the consternation of good old England.
Welcome to Aussie visitors Cal and Joe, Joe hailing
from Springwood Country Club, NSW, where he is the Club Pro, and thanks
for the prezzies Joe.
There was some good scores and some ordinary ones but
the best of the day came from Murray Hart (40pts), just back from
Aussie, who continued the dazzling form he was playing before he went
away. Paul Greenaway also played well for his 38 and Greg Flanagan,
another Aussie visitor who has been with us a few times now, finished in
the frame again on 37.
Don Everett, who returns Down Under in the next
couple of days, finished off his holiday on a high with a fine 39 points
to take Div B, four clear of Paul (35pts) and another four guys all with
33.
We didn’t get any rain and play was completed in
under four hours. Strange there were no punctures today, obviously
someone must have cleaned the roads.
For the record, 34 Outbackers played and there were
five ‘2’s from Ian Heddle, Murray Hart, Elaine Brookfield & Colin Goon
got two.

Friday, August 13, St.
Andrews - Stableford
It did look as though today was going to be a wet
round, overcast and humid, to follow what had clearly been torrential
rain overnight. Many of the bunkers had severe wash damage and several
were still full of water and upon reflection, maybe they should have all
been declared GUR. However, after a shorter delay than expected, the
starter got the 33 Outbackers away ahead of schedule, with Capt’ Bob
going out in one of the early groups to leave the organisation of the
remainder of the pack in the capable hands of Steve Mann.
At the half way point there were reports coming back
through the field of players with 23 points and 22 points as well as a
number around the 18 or 19 mark, but the back nine played tough with
little or no roll on the ball and at the end of the day, apart from
Steve Milne (40pts), Sel Wegner (38pts) and Louis Doyon (37pts), nobody
else beat their handicap.
Tony Garnett started very solidly and looked set for
a big score before a couple of bogies and a double pegged him back but
he steadied the ship before taking four to get down from about 40yds on
the last to end on 35 points, which was surprisingly enough to win Div
A.
There were just two ‘2’s and they both came on the
toughest par 3 on the course, the long 17th with
the pin placed right up on top level at the back; Suzi Lawton got one
and Kev Reid the other.
Div A (0-11)
1st Tony Garnett (10) 35pts

Murphy on top once more
PSC Golf from The Three Sister’s Bar
Some are beginning to suspect the Three Sisters Group
have a weather magician amongst them. We experienced overcast skies this
past 11th of August but with only a very light shower on a couple of holes.
The course was in fairly good shape but most of the holes could use new
greens.
Winner Dale Murphy, left, with runner-up Herbie Ishinaga.
Back at Caddy Shack II Herbie supplied snacks and great
ham sandwich slices. A variety of beverages were also available.
Cards were tallied and not surprisingly Dale Murphy came in on top with a
38 pointer, followed by four players with 34; Herbie Ishinaga, Sus Ige,
Bangkok Rodney, and Arnold Van der Graff. On count back Herbie took second
place.
Pilkington returns to glory

Monday, August 9,
Crystal Bay A & C - Stableford
CSS 72
1st Paul Hartley (20) 40pts
2nd Rodney Hayes (9) 36pts
3rd Don Everett (25) 34pts
4th Shuichi Kodaka (17) 33pts
5th Rod Howett (25) 32pts
Crystal Bay was a very quite course when the group
from Soi 13 arrived to play, and with the weather threatening to break
out into a storm all day, it remained so for the complete round. In the
event the day’s play was only slightly affected by a little rain, and
the scoring was fairly good over the whole field as much of the scruffy
areas of the past had been dealt with and although lift and place in the
fairways was the rule for the day, the general condition was quite good.
Alan Pilkington.
Paul Hartley, having previously gone close to the top
spot recently, at last reached the ultimate position with a fine round
of four under handicap which will see his handicap reduced to its lowest
all time for next week’s games and certainly low enough to head the
family pecking order when his son arrives in the next few weeks.
Rodney Hayes was once again to be found in the mix
with another round that was good enough for a place but not low enough
to affect his handicap. He in turn headed Don Everett by a couple of
points, as Don continues to apply the steady approach as recommended by
his resident doctor and also continues to prosper.
Shuichi Kodaka just got the better of Rod Howett by a
point for the final two spots for the day.
There were no 2’s in either division.
Before presenting the prizes Stephen Beard welcomed
back Peter Aitcheson.
Wednesday, August 11, Pattana A & B - Stableford
CSS 74

3rd Evan Millar (21) 31 cb 16
4th Shuichi Kodaka (17) 31 cb
14
5th Bob Lamond (6) 30
Pattana off the white tees is usually a fair distance
and on this day the tees had been set well back on the longer front nine
and forward on the inward half, which allied to the very wet conditions,
was enough of an added difficulty factor to push the CSS for the day up
one to 74.
Rodney Hayes.
Rodney Hayes can always be relied upon to shine when
the going gets tough, and his remarkably steady game off the tee allied
to a very tidy short game ensures that he will usually be found amongst
the day’s winners.
This day was no exception, although it was a very
close call as he just got the edge on Russell Exley by a single point to
once again take the top placing of the day.
Evan Millar played a very tidy round to just get the
nod in the count-back with Shuichi Kodaka with a better score of 16 to
14 over the back nine.
Bob Lamond took fifth place after playing a round
that deserved a much better result in the placings but suffered from a
few too many putts failing to drop.
Once again there were no 2’s in the first division
but Roar Berger had one in the second division to sweep the pot which
included a couple of roll overs.
Friday, August 13, St Andrews - Stableford
CSS 73
1st Alan Pilkington (10) 37pts
2nd Russell Exley (7) 37pts
3rd Paul Hartley (20) 37pts
4th Bob Maloney (13) 35pts
5th Rodney Hayes (9) 34pts
St Andrews off the white tees is a little on the
short side at approximately 6300 yards and a little too long off the
yellow tees at 6850 yards, so it was no surprise to find that the CSS
for day from the white went down by one, even with the course allowing
no run off the tee shot and with the course heavily affected by the
recent heavy rainfall in the area.
In the conditions, lift and place in the fairways was
in play for the third time in the week which helped in making the
scoring a bit easier to achieve.
Alan Pilkington, playing in the same group as Russell
Exley and Rodney Hayes and having just returned from a holiday in the UK
where he obviously had spent much of the time practicing his golf swing
without the usual distractions to be found in fun city, just prevailed
on the last hole with a chip in eagle three for five points after
standing on the tee two behind Rodney and one less than Russell. But
with Rodney almost unbelievably slipping in a “J Arthur” on his second
shot, which led to a very ugly eight and zero points, and Russell only
able to collect four points, also from a chip in, but only for birdie,
it left Alan with the win by virtue of a better count back of 23 to 18
over Russell and a stunning level par gross for the inward half.
With nearly all the action going on in the leading
group, it fell to Paul Hartley to split up the trio with yet another
good round, but slightly adrift in the count-back, managing only 16 for
third place.
Bob Maloney made it a good final game prior to his
return to WA for some well needed rest, before facing another grueling
visit to Pattaya in October, as he took fourth spot ahead of the sadder
and chastened Rodney in fifth.
There were no 2’s in the second division but Russell
Exley, Bob Maloney and Trevor Schirmer shared the first division pool
which included the rollovers.
Back at The Haven, prior to the presentations, Alan
Pilkington was welcomed back and there were farewells for Bob Maloney,
Don Everett, Fred Land and Kenny Priddy.

Cheetham is back
Golf from the Travellers Rest
Saturday’s top three Norman Cheetham, Jon Dean and Amphan
North with birthday boy Gareth Herbert holding his cherished “Nagger” award.
Barry Hooper
Norman Cheetham is back. He left Thailand with a fifteen
handicap and returned from Aussie land with an eighteen, played off that on
Saturday at Eastern Star and romped home in first place, beating Jon Dean by
just one. Third was that lady again Amphan North - not out of the top three
for four weeks in a row.
Monday, August 9, Green Valley - Stableford
1st Fergus Brennan (21) 34pts
2nd Daryl Ottoway (16) 34pts
3rd John Dean (16) 34pts
We went to Green Valley on Monday with a modest group and
just one division. I have it reported that conditions were very damp and
there was little if no run on the ball, hence the very low scores.
Fergus Brennan however found some form and though it took
a count-back to decide the top three it has to be said that scoring 21 on
the back nine and five up on his nearest rival was most definitely a good
win.
In second place was Daryl Ottoway who edged Jon Dean on
the countback calculations.
Three 2’s came from Robert Cannon, Tewin Lamthong and
Fergus Brennan.
Wednesday, August 11, Wangjunta - Stableford
1st Arnold Jones (15) 32pts
2nd Warren Gallop (10) 31pts
3rd Ted Senior (12) 28pts
4th Fergus Brennan (10) 25pts
No play on Tues but on Wednesday many a player joined in
the trip up to Wanjuntr G.C., a non qualifier event but the results found
Arnold Jones at the top of the list with thirty-two points, following in by
Warren Gallop and Ted (Mr ‘2’) Senior.
No ‘2’s on the day so a bell ring on the return to the
Travellers Rest
Saturday, August 14, Eastern Star – Stableford
1st Norman Cheetham (18) 34pts
2nd Jon Dean (8) 33pts
3rd Amphan North (10) 30pts
There was no play on Thursday as Phoenix had priced
themselves out of the market, but on Saturday it was back to the Banchang
area and this time Eastern Star with a small group.
It was fortuitous it seemed that it was only a small
group as the course was not in great condition and the greens were very,
very bad. I seem to have read many a report of late with the same comments,
as a result of which the management were later asked for their explanation
and the TRGG were advised that they are “without a full time green keeper at
the moment and a new one is starting soon.”
The upshot from that is that they plan to be resurfacing
all the greens over the next twelve months. So the TRGG will be giving it a
miss for the near future until they sort matters out.
Results on the day were a win for Norman Cheetham with
thirty-four points ahead of second placed Jon Dean and Amphan North in
third.
Once again there were no ‘2’s so another bell ring back
at the presentation.
There was however a nice surprise in store for those who
did return to the Travllers Rest as it was Gareth Herbert’s birthday and it
so happens that he was awarded the “Nagger” award (lowest score) on the day.
Great food was provided for all in attendance. Gareth rang the bell along
with many others and before you knew it a party atmosphere ensued for the
rest of the evening. That it seems is what often happens these days at the
TRGG. Good golf, good fun and a great atmosphere.
Note: If you want any further or fuller
information about the golf outings played by the TRGG from the Travellers
Rest Hotel, please contact the hotel manager Tewin Lamthong on 086 056 7019

Robbins rules the roost
PSC golf from The Bunker
Monday, August 9, Rayong
C.C. - Stableford
Rayong C.C. has become a regular venue in recent months,
but this time we found the course in rather poor condition, with very dry
fairways, inconsistent sanded greens, and shabby tees. Although most golfers
enjoy the layout, they struggled on the greens and the scores were generally
lower than we have come to expect here.
Tony Robbins enjoyed a return to form to win the
competition with 37 points, beating Colin Greig on a count-back. The shot of
the day, however, came from Geoff Williams who narrowly missed a hole-in-one
to finish 3 inches from the pin on the 12th hole, snatching the near pin
prize from Geoff Parker, who was counting his chickens, after finishing 3
foot from the pin.
Dave Galvin, Peter Habgood and Reg Smart secured the
other near pins.
1st Tony Robbins (14) 37pts
2nd Colin Greig (13) 37pts
Wednesday, August 11, Wangjuntr G.C. - Stableford
Taking advantage of the low season promotion, we decided
to make a longer than usual trip to Wangjuntr Valley course for the first
time as a society. A decision was made to play from the blue tees (the main
instigator being Gerry) and this proved disastrous for some of the higher
handicap golfers who could not negotiate the 200 plus yard carry over water
on the 9th hole.
Some of the holes here are very long (a 479 yard par 4,
and a 623 yard par 5 for example) and the course is really only suitable for
lower handicap golfers. At the best of times this is one of the most
difficult and longest courses in the area, and today the course was shabby
and undergoing maintenance to several greens. Hence the scores were low with
Peter Habgood taking the honours, defeating Tony Robbins on a count-back
with 31 points. Third place was taken by Bruce Gladden with 29 points.
A feature of this course is that it includes 5 par 3’s
(and 5 par 5’s) but only 3 near pins were claimed on the day, by Dave
Galvin, Peter Habgood and Reg Smart.
Generally the overall consensus was that the condition of
the course was disappointing, and that it is not really suitable for a
society competition, and certainly not from the blue tees.
1st Peter Habgood (17) 31pts
2nd Tony Robbins (14) 31pts
3rd Bruce Gladden (15) 29pts
Friday, August 13, Greenwood G.C. - Medal
Friday the 13th turned out to be a
lucky day, with the Greenwood course in great condition and the weather
ideal. Playing on good greens for the first time this week, proved tricky
for some, and the fairways provided very little roll, so the course was the
winner on the day, with no golfer bettering his handicap.
Tony Robbins completed a successful week (2 first places
and a second) before departing on holiday, hopefully giving someone else a
chance to win. Colin Greig claimed second place (losing to Tony again) and
William Macey took third place, winning a four-way count-back.
Very unusually only two near pins were claimed, by John
Graham and Hugh O’Donnell
1st Tony Robbins (14) net 73
2nd Colin Grieg (13) net 74
3rd William Macey (16) net 78
The Golfer of the Month competition has reached an
interesting halfway stage, with the two current leaders (Tony Robbins and
John Graham) taking a break for holidays or work, and leaving the field open
for some new faces on the leader board.
Doubles are in, as Jeff goes back to back
PSC Golf from Mulligans Lakeside
Tuesday, August 10, Green
Valley - Stableford
Last week it was Derek, this week it was Jeff who made
the best of the conditions and courses. Tuesday was Green Valley, where the
course was in great condition, fairways well grassed and smooth, with
consistent, mid paced greens. The weather was kind to us, with no rain, so
ideal conditions for all.
Recently returned Ray Ryan shares a beer with John
Chapman after showing a big improvement in his game this week.
Jeff Wylie (7) led the way with 36 points, from Bob
Edwards (9) with 34, while Ray Ryan, returning after a long absence last
week, rediscovered some form to shoot a much better 28 points.
Near Pins were picked up by Jeff and Bob, with Ken
grabbing two. Bob was the only one to convert for birdie.
Friday, August 13, Bangpra
- Stableford
Thursday was a holiday, so we opted to switch to a Friday
game at Bangpra, one of the oldest courses in the area, but following some
design changes over the past 2 years, a very good test.
Following overnight rains, the course management had said
no carts on the fairways, so accordingly “lift, clean & place” was applied,
(as per PSC local rules). The balls were picking up a little mud, but no
casual water was in evidence, but rules is rules.
Jeff (7) again was to the fore, recording a 39 point
total, to romp away with the win, followed in by Ken Hole (14) with 30
points. Good scores were out there, as evidenced by Keith Hodges’ 21 points
on the front 9, but amateur golf is a fickle game, it comes, it goes!
Near Pins were secured by Bob and Jeff, with two, while
the 17th resulted in a donation to the Banglamung Boys Home.
Just a point on the “lift, clean & place” rule - watching
some US PGA Tour coverage where that rule is sometimes used, they consider
it is worth about 3 shots a round to gain the advantage of having the ball
in hand. Maybe a point for the handicap committee to consider for assessment
purposes.
Note: Mulligans Lakeside plays golf generally on
Tuesday & Thursday (we sometimes change to accommodate a Thai Holiday).
Presentations are made at the course on Tuesday, with Mulligans Lakeside
hosting the Thursday presentation. For more details on scheduling etc,
please call Jeff 089 094 1841 or Ray 081 935 8088. Hope to see you there,
Cheers & Good Golfing!
VFW Post 9876 close in on top spot
Pattaya Sports Club Bowling League
200 Bowlers: Somrak, Kran & Nok.
It was the clash of the titans as first place Café’ Kronborg and second place VFW Post 9876 met for the first time in week 9 of
league bowling. VFW Post 9876 bested Café Kronborg, taking 3 of 4 points and
narrowing the gap between first and second place to 1.5 points.
The VFW Post 9876 team got off to a strong start by
rolling a 605 series in the first game led by Somrak’s 214, the high score
of the day. Kran Nielsen rolled a 202 score in game two leading Café’ Kronborg’s to take their lone point. The final 200+ game was rolled by Nok
Kennedy of Sabai Friday who rolled a score of 201 in their 2 – 2 split with
USMC.
Team Canada made the biggest move of the day, moving from fifth place to
third place by taking 3 points from House of the Golden Coin as they dropped
from third to fourth place. Brother D dropped to fifth place despite taking
3 games from Green Tree. Team Bavaria took 3 points from Jack Tar, but were
unable to advance in the standings.

Most tables ended up
in two or three hearts by South, making nine tricks. My table was an
exception - I had the South hand and played it in two hearts, but good
defence gave me no chance of an overtrick. West led the ace of spades,
followed by the three. I took East’s queen with my king and led a heart to
try and pull trumps. West went up with the ace immediately and switched to
a diamond. East’s jack won and he led another spade, trumped by West. The
ace of diamonds completed the defence’s five tricks (ace of spades, ace of
hearts, spade ruff and two high diamonds).
But, EW can do
better. Can you see their best contract? It is 3N by East. Assume you get
a heart lead. Declarer ducks until the third round. Declarer then forces
out the ace of clubs (and breathes a sigh of relief when North wins the
trick and has no more hearts to return).
North’s best lead at
this point is a spade. However, declarer wins the ace and successfully
finesses the diamonds. EW make the aces of hearts and spades, three high
diamonds and four clubs for nine tricks and the contract.
Only one pair managed
to find this optimum contract - well done for excellent bidding.
