Mio Aamlid, making a rare appearance and bowling as a spare, had a 559 series


Full moon leads to sparse fishing

Sea Fishing with the KPK Food Services

Noi holds the scribe’s prize catch.

Mike Gerrard

Two days (or rather one night and one day trip) to report on this week me hearties. On Thursday December 8 evening we had 6 fishermen who decided they were brave enough to spend the night out at sea (gladly not me, I know where I would prefer to be in the dark hours of the night).

Sadly the trip turned out to be one of the not so good ones. Apparently there was a full moon and I am told that squid do not feed during a full moon. Don’t know how true this is, but for certain there was no live squid for bait which meant that catching the larger varieties was less certain. The knock on effect is that if the squid are hiding then the predator fish do not feed either.

However when the crew eventually returned to terra firma they reported that they had caught a couple of sharks and the usual snapper and grouper etc.

It is a shame really because this was the first night fishing trip we had organised and it would have been good to have had a better ending to the story.

So it is on to Saturday, December 10 when we had our usual daytime trip. Once again we were without the live squid for bait. This is very disappointing because it is the best bait for catching them there ‘Big Uns’. It seems the full moon does have an effect on the squid.

Also today the wind was the winner. It was a very hard day’s fishing trying to fight the wind: both for ourselves to stay on our feet and the boat being blown against the currents made the fishing very difficult. Never mind, out of about 30 trips this year this has been to only one that was a little uncomfortable.

On this day we had Sergio Volpi and his lovely lady Noi on board along with the two children of Sergio. Also with us were Bob Jepson and Peter Holt with John Kelly and Damien Molloy making up the rest of the crew.

The photo shows Noi holding a nice big fish that was (I am glad to say) caught by yours truly on a very small rig. It was a good fight and eventually netted safely.

Lots of other varieties were landed which made enough for everyone to take some home to eat, so although it had not been the best result of the year, everyone agreed that it had been a great day out on the ocean.

Our schedule is every fortnight, (second and fourth Saturdays of the month) but we have many enquiries for other dates so if enough names come in we will increase our trips to suit.

The next scheduled trip is for 24th December (yes I know it is Christmas Eve, but cannot think of a better way to spend the day). Certainly beats Christmas shopping!

If anyone is interested in coming along please call me (Mike) on 087 091 7565.

Khao Kheow B & C – Stableford

Another Thai Monday Public Holiday meant we were playing on a Tuesday for the second consecutive week and there were 31 golfers signed up, but a last minute ‘no show’ brought it down to 30.

We were happy to welcome Rob Brown’s wife Karen from Scotland, Carole & Richard Kubicki from U.K./Cyprus, Bent Agerbo from Denmark and Russell Goldsworthy from Gosnells Golf Club in Perth, Western Australia.

Waiting for the ‘no show’ caused us to depart the Kronny a few minutes later than our scheduled 0815 hrs and we arrived at the course just 42 minutes later. It was quite busy and we resigned ourselves to the fact that there would be very little chance of teeing off earlier than our 1006 hrs scheduled time so it was time to relax for an hour. Most of us took the opportunity to have a practice putt and chip and some even spent time on the driving range.

The weather was fantastic with clear skies, very moderate temperature and at times a fairly stiff breeze. Our first group, a threesome managed to hit off at 1002 hrs and the course was looking quite good, slowly improving after being fairly “ordinary” a month or so ago. There were fewer bare patches and compulsory GUR and the greens were firm and true & at times quite slick.

Mike Gosden, Peter Blackburn & Dave Richardson.

Having a five-ball (4 Farangs & 1 Thai professional) in front of us made things quite slow for us and our first nine (B) took just over two hours and fifteen minutes.

The Admiral commenced the C nine in style by making birdie on the first hole and gleefully shouted out to me “four for five!” I can’t remember witnessing one of those before and he proceeded to score three pointers on each of the next four holes to build the foundation for an excellent second nine. After waiting several times for the group ahead we finally completed our round in four hours and twenty five minutes.

There were 2 flights with A Flight for handicaps 0 to 19 and B Flight for 20 and over. There were rewards for nearest the pin on all four par threes and longest first putts on the ninth & eighteenth greens.

Aussie Mike Gosden took out the A Flight with a fine 39 points and in a count back his mate from Gosnells, Russell Goldsworthy (21 point back nine) finished second two points further back ahead of Dr Paul Cardwell (20 point back nine) in third spot. Niels Hansen (grumbling at not playing well) was fourth with 36 points just ahead of his mate Bjarne Kjaer, finishing fifth with 35 points.

It was The Admiral himself, Dave Richardson who won the B Flight with 39 points, just 1 point ahead of Svend Gaarde in second place with Svend’s wife Susan 1 point further back in third spot. There was a three-way count back for fourth and fifth places with Mike Winfield (19 point back nine) beating Michael Catillon (18 point back nine). Kjeld Ravn (17 point back nine) was the one who just missed out on a podium finish.

Pattaya C.C. – Monthly Mug/Stroke

It was that time of the month again when we get to play a stroke round in competing for the coveted Cafô Kronborg Monthly Mug.

After 2 disappointing ‘no shows’ we were left with 28 starters and we headed off from Caf้ Kronborg a couple of minutes later than our scheduled 0815 hrs departure time. Just 23 minutes later we arrived at the course expecting a fairly lengthy wait before our allotted tee time but in actual fact our first group, a threesome was able to get away 48 minutes early at 0912 hrs.

Once more the weather was terrific with moderate temperature and a slight breeze and with the course in great shape we breezed around the front nine in just one hour & fifty minutes. Most in our group were having trouble with the speed of many of the greens and there were several three putts and a couple of four putts (including mine) as long downhill attempts on the slick ones caught us napping.

We continued our cracking pace and even after a lengthy drinks break before commencing “Amen Corner” (16,17 & 18) our full round was completed in four hours & eight minutes which for a stroke round is very good. It must be mentioned that Niels Hansen made a mockery of “Amen Corner” as he birdied the sixteenth & seventeenth holes!

In addition to the Monthly Mug Award we had 2 flights with A Flight for handicaps 0 to 19 and B Flight for 20 and over. There were rewards for nearest the pin on all four par threes and longest first putts on the ninth & eighteenth.

Peter Hammond emerged victorious and won the December Monthly Mug with a fine score of net 69, being the only player to beat their handicap on the day.

The A flight winner on a count back was Mike Gosden with net 73 (net 36 back nine) from Don Richardson (net 37 back nine) in second place. Birdie boy Niels Hansen finished third with net 74 and Dr Paul Cardwell was fourth on net 75.

Mike Winfield won B Flight with net 72 and in a three-way count back for second, third and fourth Dave “The Admiral” Richardson (net 34 back nine) finished ahead of Jan Lovgreen (net 37 back nine) with veteran Hugh O’Donnell (net 40 back nine) finishing in fourth place, all three having net 73’s.

Eastern Star getting back to its best

PSC golf from Tropical Bert’s

Tuesday’s winners - Mike Gaussa and Les Charles with one of Bert’s finest.

Tuesday,
December 13,
Eastern Star – Stableford

Looks like happy days are here again at the golf courses by a look at the numbers who have started out from Tropical Bert’s of late. On this day we had some last minute withdrawals due to illnesses but we were still more than full.

From my point of view this course at Eastern Star is the best in the Bang Chang area and whilst other courses have their supporters, the layout of this is the best in my opinion. Mind, over the years the greens have always been the hold back, and on this day whilst they were in good condition they could have been better - hard and fast but not all the same.

Booking in is easy here and we were soon through the changing room and onto the first Tee to be met by a windy day. It was soon away and this course in the wind is really difficult. On this day the fairways were firm and the rough quite tough and playing off the white Tees I thought the scores would not be good, but who knows.

Back at Bert’s we went into ‘Bert’s Golfers Quiz’ that showed us all how much we do not know, and which Dick Warberg’s team won, then onto the presentation.

In the A Flight, 0 to 19, the winner was Mike Gaussa with 38 points ahead of John Binns on 37 points in second, Walter Baechli in third on 36 points and Derek Brook in fourth on 35.

In the B Flight Les Charles won with 38 points ahead of a three-way count back on 36 points that saw Kevin Dinan in second, Chris Walsh in third and Graham Buckingham in fourth.

We then as usual made the best of Tropical Bert’s ‘Happy Hour’. T.T.F.N.

Near Pins: Walter Baechli, Les Charles

Long Putt: Kenny Chung, Graham Buckingham


Plunkett plunders the B Flight with highest score of the week

PSC Golf from The Outback Golf Bar

Paulie O’Mahoney (left) and Steve Mann, who both tallied 40 points each at Burapha.

Monday, Dec. 12, Pattaya C.C. - Stableford

This was the second of our two successive Holiday Monday visits to Pattaya Country Club where 25 players braved the early morning cold start, as temperatures dropped to 18 deg overnight. Needless to say, the cooler conditions made it ideal for golf but only for Div B, as the best Div A could muster was 32 points and there were five players with that score. In the count back shake-up, John Stafford headed the field from Owen Walkley and John Cunningham.

Div B was easily won by Ivan Plunkett with 41 points, and received a handicap cut of 2 shots, from Bob Lindborg, who, considering he admits he doesn’t like the course, did well to take second with 37 from John Kittilsen in third on 36.

There were two ‘2’s from John Cunningham (hole 7) & Jack Moseley (hole 12).

Div A (0-16)

1st John Stafford (15/Hi16) 32pts

2nd Owen Walkley (8/Hi9.8) 32pts

3rd John Cunningham (4/Hi6) 32pts

4th Lloyd Shuttleworth (4/Hi6.1) 32pts

Div B (17+)

1st Ivan Plunkett (21/Hi22.3) 41pts

2nd Bob Lindborg (18/Hi19.4) 37pts

3rd Jon Kittilsen (18/Hi18.7) 36pts

4th Suzi Lawton (20/Hi19.2) 35pts

Tuesday, Dec. 13, Pattaya C.C. – Stableford

The usual Tuesday crowd was once again well supported as 18 turned out, which produced generally some much better scoring than Monday, as no less than four players scored 38 points and two more scored 36.

Chad, our Tuesday organiser, was quite disappointed to learn that his excellent 38 points only earned him third place on count back, behind Doug Chalkley and Orn, both winners of their respective divisions the previous week. Playing partners for the last time, Kurt Eric and Mam took the top two places in Div B with 38 and 36 respectively, ahead of a resurgent Geoff Moodie, also with 36.

Course wise, the greens have been allowed to grow a little but hole 16 is still lethal to putt on when above the hole and most bunkers are sorely lacking attention and continue to be in poor condition, producing some horrid, virtually unplayable lies.

There were two ‘2’s from Nigel Cannon (hole 5) and Dave Earthrowl (hole 12).

On Tuesday 27th Dec we shall be having our usual Christmas “Fun Day’ competition, which will once again take the format of a rainbow multiplier with a difference. So find yourself a partner, if not leave to Capt’ Bob to pair you up and come and enjoy the day. After the comp will be food at the Outback, included in the 300 baht entry fee and as usual a little later, many of the regular caddies will be joining us as well.

Div A (0-20)

1st Orn Kanasaengsri (15/Hi14.7) 38pts

2nd Doug Chalkley (20/Hi21.3) 38pts

3rd Barry Chadbourn (18/Hi18.7) 38pts

4th Lloyd Shuttleworth (4/Hi6.2) 34pts

Div B (21+)

1st Kurt Eric Persson (29/Hi29.6) 38pts

2nd Phompinmon Seesa (29/Hi28.1) 36pts

3rd Geoff Moodie (25/Hi25.7) 36pts

4th Nigel Cannon (22/Hi22.5) 35pts

Wednesday, Dec. 14, Burapha – Stableford

Making the most of the tough rating and slope awarded to Burapha A & B from the blue tees, Paulie O’Mahoney saw his handicap index leap over 3 shots to give him a playing handicap of 12. He shared the top spot in Div A on 40 points with Steve Mann, who lost only on count back in a day of excellent scoring when nobody in Div A shot less than 30 points, even the Capt’ found a bit of form!

Pete Stonebridge headed Div B with a fine 39 ahead of Svenn Lund and playing partner, Jon Kittilsen who both shot 38 and only Andy Makara failed to make the 30 points mark by one. Generally a day of brilliant scoring on a course that was in perfect condition producing a CSA of one shot easier than par.

For the record, 20 played and there were no ‘2’s.

Div A (0-17)

1st Paulie O’Mahoney (12/Hi8.9) 40pts

2nd Steve Mann (13/Hi10.3) 40pts

3rd Owen Walkley (13/Hi9.9) 37pts

4th Neil Lavery (16/Hi12.6) 37pts

Div B (18+)

1st Pete Stonebridge (23/Hi19) 39pts

2nd Svenn Ole (18/Hi14.3) 38pts

3rd Jon Kittilsen (23/Hi18.7) 38pts

4th Bob Lindborg (23/Hi19) 37pts

Friday, Dec. 16, Green Valley – Stableford

The relatively small field today of 20 were subjected to a delayed start just before teeing off as two four-balls who were late for their allotted tee time were put out immediately in front. The numbers were down probably because of the PSC monthly event at Emerald and some of our guys who were marshaling at the Thailand Open at Amata Spring near Chonburi, where Lee Westwood has equaled the 36 hole Asian tour record of 20 under par.

Nothing quite like that here, in fact only one person managed to even equal handicap as Owen Walkley won Div A with his 36 points, followed in by our organiser for the day, Suzi on 35.

Div B went to Steve Giles, who recorded his first ever win with the Outback on 35 points, ahead of Friday regular Ed Horrocks on 34 and welcome back to David and Margaret Wilkinson, even though they did not trouble the leaderboard too much.

There was only one ‘2’ which came from Suzi on the 12th.

Div A (0-17)

1st Owen Walkley (9/Hi9.9) 36pts

2nd Suzi Lawton (17/Hi19.2) 35pts

3rd Dennis Pelly (10/Hi10.7) 30pts

4th Murray Hart (12/Hi12.5) 30pts

Div B (18+)

1st Steve Giles (25/Hi24.2) 35pts

2nd Ed Horrocks (22/Hi21.3) 34pts

3rd Andy Makara (30/Hi28.5) 32pts

4th Barry Lewis (29/Hi28.2) 31pts

Note: The Outback Golf Bar is situated about 6km from Sukhumvit Road along Soi Siam Country. All are welcome to come and join us for a beer and a hit. Just call in and put your name down on the list or give Bob a call on 087 941 2474.


Murphy on top once more

PSC golf from the Three Sisters Bar

Wednesday winner Dale Murphy (left) holds the monthly trophy with runner-up Mark Campbell (right).

The weather was great and the course at the Pattaya Country Club this past 14th of December was in good shape.

Seventeen players teed off to a cool early morning beginning and the play moved well but a couple of singles were on the course and should have at least paired up.

Back at Caddy Shack II the cards were reviewed and strokes counted. Coming in first was Dale Murphy, no stranger to the top spot, with 33 points to get his name etched on the monthly trophy. Chasing Dale was Mark Campbell who came in with 32, and was somewhat miffed at spending all that money just to come in second place. Jan and Richard lagged behind with 30 points each.

Once again Herbie provided vittles of long hot dogs and refreshments.


Weather is the winner this week

PSC golf from Mulligans Lakeside

Allan Cassin and Dave Edwards.

Tuesday, Dec. 13, Greenwood - Stableford

First up, what a glorious week weather wise for golf; clear skies, not too hot, light breezes, bummer really, because it’s one less excuse for playing not so good.

Greenwood A & B was the venue for Tuesday, with the course matching the weather. Too bad about the scores (with 1 exception) as Allan Cassin (12) was the stand-out performer on this day, with a well compiled 37 points, beating Dave Edwards (18) into second place with 32 points, Dave having just edged Jeff Wylie (6) on countback 16/15.

Near pins provided some consolation to Jeff, Willem & Tony, with one going to Banglamung Boys Home.

Thursday, Dec. 15, Pleasant Valley - Stableford

Thursday was a visit to Pleasant Valley, where we played the Blue Tees, some of which were back a bit, while others were forward, worked out +50 yards or so, but still under 6,400 yards.

Jeff Wylie (6) was the beneficiary of the count back today, edging Jim Federspiel (15) 19/17, after both signed for a moderate 34 points. Allan, Jeff & Brian picked up near pins, with 1 going to BBH.

Friday was the PSC tournament at Emerald; white tees for all groups at a tick over 6,000 yards, not much imagination there, again. We continue to support the PSC with 2 groups this month, and were to the fore, with Joel getting a Long Drive, Willem a NTP & Jeff a NTP & first in A Flight.

Note: Mulligans Lakeside plays golf on Tuesday & Thursday, with Mulligans Lakeside hosting prompt presentations on both days. Call 089 094 1841 for scheduling or enquiries. Hope to see you there, cheers & good golfing!


Shane & Rodney - 2011 Champions

IPGC Championship Report 2011

2011 Gross and Net Champions: Shane Ruddle (left) and Rodney Hayes.

After a break of two years the IPGC Club Championship returned to Pattana, where a serious test of golf awaited the contenders who were spread over one ladies and three gentlemen’s divisions. As usual, after the first round of stroke play, a cut was to be made at approximately 50% in the gentlemen’s divisions with those missing the mark going forward to the Plate competitions which would be scored under the Stableford system.

A good turnout of members confirmed that it had been a correct decision to move the original date from June to December, although the ladies section could have been a little better represented. The quality of the field was of the highest order with well over 25% of the entrants having a single figure handicap.

As a memento of the event, in addition to the specially printed Championship card, all entrants were provided with some of the club’s merchandise in the form of a golf shirt, umbrella, and towel at registration where the IPGC Hole-in-One bag was on display together with the Championship Trophies.

Ladies 2011 Champion - Ritta Palmu

The A and B courses had been set up using a mixture of blue, white and yellow tee distances and utilising the now standard major competition IPGC logo tee markers, to provide a par 73 course covering a total distance of 6,800 yards, which included one par 6.

The course management had also excelled in producing a very well prepared course where the fairways were cut to just the correct height, the rough trimmed to an acceptable length and greens that were approximately 8 on the stimpmeter.

With a first tee time of 7.45 am and playing in groups of three under clear skies, the tournament got away on time with the first group returning in just over three and a half hours, a pace that was to be continued throughout the day.

Although the weather was fine, there was a very strong wind that made conditions extremely difficult, especially on the holes that were into it off the tees. In fact the par three A3 hole, which is almost an island green with little to stop an over-hit ball from reaching the water and marked with yellow water hazard stakes, played to an average of almost 6 and was the end of many aspirations so early in the day’s round, with a bogey for the hole a more than acceptable result on day one.

Division winners: Rick Schramm, Paul Bartlett & Rod Howett.

The first division was led in by Stuart Thompson who returned a cracking result of three under handicap under very difficult conditions that was enough to provide him with a three shot cushion over a group that included Bob Lamond, Paul Bray, Martin Grimoldby and Shane Ruddle, with the cut coming at four over par.

The second division was also led by three clear shots by Rodney Hayes whose ability on and around the greens was the difference between himself and Joe Peters in second place and John Squitiero in third spot a further two strokes adrift.

The cut came at eight over par with one or two opting to take the Stableford option for day two.

The third division saw Evan Millar return a level handicap round that led the rest of the division by six clear as the cut moved out to 14 over, which was a little too much for comfort for some, who also chose the Plate option for day two.

In the Ladies section Orawan Meeraka and Sue Mawhinney were level, with Riitta Palmu just one behind them.

It was no surprise to find that the CSS for the day had moved out to 74, as less than 20% of the counting players, those with handicaps of 20 and below, were unable to play to within two of their handicaps.

Plate winners: Barry Wellings, Alan Griffiths & Len Jones.

Day two started at the same time in similar conditions to the previous round and with the wind still blowing strongly, it was clear that the day’s winners would be those that stuck to task throughout the round.

Division one saw Stuart Thompson fade away with an untypical return, as the conditions started to take effect, as Rick Schramm added to his good first round to take the claret jug as the winner after Russell Exley just lost out by a stroke when missing a short putt on the eighteenth, with Paul Bray improving on his first day to take third place.

Division two had Paul Bartlett in the top position as he improved by six over day one which left him five ahead of Mike Korney, who had put in another solid round, in second and Joe Peters who had faded badly after a nightmare on A8 which saw him have to take a triple, which added to another three triples ended his challenge for this year.

In division three, Rod Howett returned a four better than day one to close out Evan Millar whose second round was a mere shadow of his first but proved just enough for second place ahead of Burnie Sinclair, who had recovered fantastically well following an almost terminal first day to take third after winning a three-way count back over the day two scores.

In The ladies section Riitta Palmu came from behind to take the trophy by a single point from Orawan Meeraka with Sue Mawhinney in third another point behind her.

Once more the course had shown its teeth, with the CSS for the day again moving out to 74, and underling that the two days had certainly been a tough test in keeping with the requirements of a true club championship.

Shane Ruddle just managed to beat off the challenge of his playing partner, Steve Mascari, after the latter had edged him out on day two by a shot, to take the Gross Champion’s award of the Claret Jug and IPGC commemorative golf bag by a margin of two, which was four shots better than the last winning gross in 2009 over the same course.

Rodney Hayes walked away with the Net Champions Claret Jug and commemorative golf bag as he finished two shots ahead of Rick Schramm, which was also an improvement of one on the 2009 result

Once again, playing in threes, the speed of play was around three and three quarter hours which was much appreciated by all of the competitors over the two days.

The prize presentations were held at The Haven where all entrants were provide with a dozen IPGC logo Titleist golf balls to add to the giveaways already received at the course before Stephen Beard announced the winners with Russell Exley making the presentations.

Before the announcement of the winners, there were huge thanks given to the management and staff of Pattana Golf and Sports Resort who had provide everyone with an excellent two days of golf together with huge thanks to Russell Exley, Glyn Evans, Len Jones and Steve Mascari, all of whom worked hard to make the Championship such a great success once again.

There was also a round of applause for the food and catering by the Haven and its staff and lastly but by no means least a vote of thanks from the organising committee, to all those members that took part and played their parts to the full in the arriving at the end results.

He did not win the medal but he did stand proudly on top of the Podium in A Flight, and beside his winning pink envelope Bob also received a jar of George’s famous Pattaya pickles. In addition he picked up a staggering 16,500 baht back at the presentation as his name was drawn out of the barrel.

An investigation as to how Kevin “You know who” only picked up the silver is under way by the Irish Garda. Terry Mangan is Kevin’s only witness as he was awarded the bronze. J-P Gasser was not available for comment, he was speechless and in a daze.

It was left to B Flight to provide the monthly medal winner for the month of December as Irishman Ferry McCarthy put together a best of the day net 69. For his fine effort Jerry picked up a Lewiinski’s lead crystal engraved whiskey glass and a bottle of Jameson’s. He also gets an invite to the Gold medal to be played very soon.

Jerry was followed in by ‘Santa’ Claude Harder who was the beneficiary of a favorable inward nine which gave him the edge over Dave Driscoll.

Mike ‘the mechanic’ Craighead found it difficult in the red division as he was not alone, but Mike persevered with the old saying ladies before gents being completely ignored. Mike has now became the most decorated golfer in Pattaya, as he adds another lead crystal engraved wine glass to his ever growing collection. Needles to say Mike joins Jerry in the year end Gold medal comp.

Patrick Kelly was the low gross winner with a net75 while J-P Gasser, Paul Bray, Alain Bellec, Dave Driscoll, and Mike Craighead divvied up the 2’s pot.

Tuesday, Dec. 13, Royal Lakeside - Stableford

A Flight

1st Patrick Kelly (+2) 38pts

2nd Francis Goyons (9) 34pts

B Flight

1st Merle Humphreys (19) 35pts

2nd Terry Mangan (14) 34pts

Only one man, Peter ‘+2’ Kelly showed the right stuff as he was the only player to better par on the day, a great effort considering his stingy +2 handicap. Peter’s 38 points were four clear of Francis Goyons as he rounded out the flight. The lads found the course to be in excellent condition and it has gone through some very tough alterations.

In B Flight Merle Humphreys filled the top spot with 35 points. Terry ‘red card’ Mangan, with treachery unknown to the young Irishman Pat Reagan, took the count back for the second place.

Francis Goyons disappointment in finishing second in the senior flight did not last long as he carded the only ‘2’ of the day.

Wednesday, Dec. 14, St. Andrews - Stableford

A Flight

1st J-P Gasser (13) 42pts

2nd Michele Sancillo (8) 38pts

B Flight

1st Lew Szigligeti (18) 42pts

2nd John White (22) 38pts

The week wrapped up with a trip to the Desmond Muirhead’s designed monster St Andrews. J-P Gasser and Lou ‘the thunder from down under’ Szigligeti were co-men of the match as they posted superb 42 point joint scores on the day in A Flight and B Flight’s respectively. Gasser was followed in by Michele Sancillo on 38 points.

Lou ‘the thunder from down under’, who is playing out of his skin at the moment, was four strokes clear of John White. Interestingly both flights required the same scores.

No 2’s were carded so it’s a double rollover on Monday.

Back at Lewiinski’s and after a few sherbets it was time to say good bye to the Principal, ‘Broad more’ Bob, Lou Zigzag and the caddy to the stars Lee Adelly as they leave for a two week holiday to find the Yeti in Nepal climbing mount Everest. I will let you know how they got on in a couple of weeks.

Note: Lewiinski’s is situated on Pattaya Land Soi 1, Beach Road Soi 13/3 near to Walking Street. Anyone wishing to play with us just pop in and add your name to the list or call Colin on 089 826 0764. Transport is provided.


Old hands back on top and top spot

Pattaya Golf Society (IPGC) at Rabbi’s Elephant Bar

For the second time in eight days the Pattaya Golf Society found themselves at Rayong Country Club on yet another public holiday on Monday, 12th December. Again the format was stableford and the return of some special old friends after a gap of a few years made the day enjoyable.

Once again having to sit things out was Mr Len whose daily treatment progresses after his confrontation with a street dog and the administration of the day was left in the safe hands of Tony Thorne. Not content with that, Tony went on to share the win with Larry Slattery with 31 points showing that there is no substitute for experience on a course with recently dressed greens and a subtle layout.

In third place was Swedish lady Helene Lindberg with 28 points, marking her return with a successful round. Husband Michael took the Booby Bevy in resigned fashion as it was never destined to go anywhere else after more than two years away from Pattaya.

Larry rounded off the day with the only birdie ‘2’, on the sixteenth and the presentation went on long afterwards in Soi Buakhao. Golf is more than just hitting the little white ball around on a fine day!


Tough going at windy Green Valley

Jomtien Golf with the IPGC

Monday,
December 12,
Green Valley - Stableford

There was a cool breeze here today as we waited on the first tee and on some of the holes later in the round this became a mild to strong wind, blowing from all directions. Normally the scores here are well up in the thirty’s but today was a true test of golf.

There were eight groups out in two divisions with the cut at 7-16 in division 1 and 17+ in the second. Thirty six points was the best score in both groups with Steve Greene winning division 1 after beating Kari Aarnio on a 17/16 back nine count back. Heikki Alanko was third on 34 points.

The two French boys were first and second in division 2; Jean Morel won with an even par 36 points and Yves Bosset came second one point behind while Bryan Priestley took third with 34.

This was our only game of the week as we were at the I.P.G.C. Club Championship at Pattana on Wednesday and Friday (the report of which can be seen on page 46 – Ed.).

Near pins went to Kari Kuparinen (2), Raivo Velsberg, Chris Voller, Gordon Everingham, Mauri Friman and Rudi Schaefer.

In the two’s today there were 4 on the 12th hole for Gordon Everingham, Kari Kuparinen, Norman McKinnon and Bryan Priestley, while Eero birdied the 9th in division 1.


David slays the field

Phoenix Tuesday/Friday Golf Group

Mike Gerrard

The headline leads on the story of David Czernie (that’s as far as I am going with this name - it goes on forever), who slew the rest of the field on Tuesday, Dec. 13 by six shots as he scored a memorable 42 points including 26 on the front nine! This gave David the first prize, but also the KPK Food Services voucher.

As stated, some 6 shots behind was the runner-up Goort Gelten with 36 points and in third place was Graham Ellis with 34.

The best guest scores today were from young Dodd (Stewart Gordon’s lad) with 35 points and Peter Rawling (for the second week running) with 29.

Near pins went to Dodd, Richard Baldwin, Eamon Murtagh and Goort Gelten.

As usual there were plenty of lucky draw prizes mostly donated by our hosts the Relax Bar, after which we stayed on and discussed the unlucky shots of the day over a few beers.

Next week is the Nemo Music Lounge voucher competition. The group is virtually full every week now but if you are interested in joining please call me (Mike) on 087 091 7565 and we will try to fit you in. Non Phoenix members can enjoy a reduced green fee of 1,000 baht as a guest of the members. We play every Tuesday and Friday with additional golf on Sunday’s as well for the time being.

December 24 there is a sea fishing trip scheduled if anyone is interested. Better than Xmas shopping!


Kelly shoots 68 to take low gross prize

The 112th PSC Members Monthly Golf Tournament

Patrick Kelly (left) is congratulated by PSC Golf Chairman Joe Mooneyham.

Last week was a busy one for the PSC; following on from the Christmas Party on Wednesday, it was the final monthly golf tournament of the year at Emerald Golf Club on Friday, Dec. 16, with 110 taking part. This month the welcoming team comprised of Nigel Cannon, Bob Linborg and Pat Clark, who recently joined the Executive Committee, giving the Golf Chairman the opportunity to play this month.

With a 2-tee start – 14 groups on each - there was some confusion early on but resolved by give and take and PSC members accepting it was going to be a 5-hour round. The course management later apologized! The Emerald layout was in a reasonable condition for this time of year with a number of bare patches on some fairways.

Coming in following their rounds on a hot and sunny day it was the aforementioned Joe and Pat checking the cards and calculating the final results. The journey back to Pattaya was longer than usual as there was a big firework display on the beach. However many made it to Lewiinski’s where again there was an outstanding buffet to suit all tastes.

Joe Mooneyham (left) receives his B Flight winning prize from PSC President Tony Oakes.

Once all had eaten and had a drink and a rest, it was time for the presentation and Nigel called order and introduced the Golf Chairman Joe Mooneyham who expressed his appreciation to all players and his team of helpers, and gave the details of the PSC Club Championship scheduled for January.

Nigel then announced the winners and back in Pattaya for a few months is young Patrick Kelly, the current Club Champion, who came in with a Gross 68 to take the low gross prize.

Leading ‘A’ Flight was Jeff Wylie with a gross 76 net 70.

It was the Golf Chairman who had the top honour in ‘B’ Flight – despite arriving at the course at 0730 Joe Mooneyham had 35 points.

From the ‘Emerald Isle’ and playing at the Emerald and winning ‘C’ Flight was Jerry McCarthy with 37 points.

Best Stableford score of the day came in ‘D’ Flight with Merle Humphrey with 42 points.

It was a welcome back to the Kubicki’s with Carole taking the Ladies flight with 33 points.

The next PSC major competition is the Club Championship – over 2 days (Tuesday 10th and Friday 13th January) at Khao Kheow.

Carmody shoots top score at Greenwood

PSC golf from the Fairways Golf Society

Don Carmody - Monday’s B Fight winner at Greenwood.

Monday, Dec. 12,
Greenwood – Stableford

Once again the conditions were ideal for golf - not too hot and a nice cool breeze - and we all got round in less than four hours, what more can you ask for? So with a good turn out today we had two divisions with four places in each.

It took a three-way count back to decide third and fourth places in the A flight with Steve Mann being the one to lose out for a place on the podium. Once again Don Carmody had an excellent round to take the B flight with the best score of the day (39pts) from the lovely noisy Noi Emerson. And John Coetzee managed to get in the frame once again on his final round with us before returning home to Australia. Bon Voyage John see you next trip.

The near pins today went to Don Carmody, Bob Moore, Silvio Bezzoti, George Gamble and John Coetzee.

4th John Coetzee (18) 34pts

Friday, December 16,
Phoenix - Stableford

We arrived here today understanding that there was a set price green fee for two people sharing a golf kart. But there was the normal confusion as there was one price advertised in the pro shop a different price in the dressing rooms, and yet another price by the starters hut. Needless to say we had to pay the most expensive one!

Now I’ve got that of my chest, on with the golf. It was nice to see Pier Cere taking the honours today with a level par round as he has been idling away in the doldrums for quite some time now. Second place was decided on count back with Tony beating Raji 18-17. Also it was nice to welcome back Fred Land on his winter break.

Near pins went to Raji, Ken Meek, Fred Land and Jason Cole.

1st Pier Cere (12) 36pts

2nd Tony Dauth (0) 34pts

3rd Raji (7) 34pys

4th Jason Cole (8) 31pts

Note: The Fairways Golf Society & Driving Range is located at the top of Pattaya Klang on Sukhumvit Road and plays every Mon/Wed & Fri. Anyone wishing to play with us can call in to the club house and put their names down on the lists provided or call Scott on 084 389 2379. Transport provided if required.


Gardner gets to grips with Green Valley

PSC golf from The Caddyshack

Ted Gardner after his 41 point winning score at Green Valley.

Wednesday, Dec. 14, Green Valley – Stableford

Ted Gardner fired a storming 41 points to take top spot in the A Flight at Green Valley on Wednesday ahead of Clive Bruce, who must have thought that his 40 point haul would have been enough to guarantee first place. Phonsie McGahan filled the flight podium in third place.

B Flight was decided on a count back on 38 points that saw Ian Covill edge out Kevin Hamilton for first place while Derek May took third with an even par 36.

Tony Oakes and Dave Strang split the ‘2’s pot between them.

Ladies do it best

PSC Fishing December 2011

Sommai & Khammoon with their bounteous catch.

Captain Dene

An impromptu trip was arranged on short notice on Dec. 12 by several members and eventually comprised 7 anglers. I was informed on my return from Oz that an enjoyable trip was had by all and obviously very successful as evidenced by the photos displaying the catches of the day. As usual, it is evident the female anglers are superior to the men.

A private trip is being conducted by Tor, wife Mook and his friends on 20 December and we wish them calm seas and plentiful catches for the day.

Future trip for
December

On my return, 12 December, I was inundated with requests for a trip later in the month which is now arranged for 22 December with a full boatload of 8 anglers. I apologise to those who I had to omit from the trip.

Trips for 2012

I am discussing with my co-helpers Rich Murphy, Jeff Doutch & Peter Hyland plans for 2012 trips. I believe with their help the PSC will be able to conduct 4 trips per month which will help to accommodate all members who wish to participate.

I will be in touch by phone, e-mail (and hopefully the media) when plans for January 2012 are finalised and details planned for the rest of the year.


Pattaya C.C. hosts Xmas cricket day and season’s awards party

Saturday the 17th December saw the hosting of Pattaya Cricket Club’s inaugural fun Xmas cricket day and annual awards party at Horseshoe Point. Four teams consisting of 8 playing members of the club, all of varying ability, representing the Juniors, Thoroughbreds (over 45’s) and Seniors, played in a 6 over round robin format with a final played between the top two sides.

The captains of the teams were the 4 senior members of PCC: Simon Philbrook, Joe Grunwell, Elfrado Roberts and Hanif ‘Sunny’ Qayum. A fixed rolling batting line up and a minimum of 5 bowlers per innings ensured everyone contributed throughout the day and limited the dominance of any one player. As a consequence all the games were very close with the exception of one thanks to Rob Young whose game changing over of left arm non-spin conceded 26 runs and hurried a victory for the Club captain’s side.

Other notables were Jack, Debdas, Mithu and Lucky who all scored maximums of 25 runs and Sodhi, Usman, Sunny and very surprisingly Simon for their economical bowling figures.

A final between Simon’s and Elfrado’s team saw Simon prevail as his team set a daunting total of 74 runs that Elfrado’s men made a valiant 67 in reply. It was a fitting end to a day of cricket where the results did not matter and the only important thing was the spirit of the game and the camaraderie between the players.

Player of the Day was Jack and Player of the Final was junior Andy Thomson whose last over heroics with the ball sealed the victory for his side.

In glorious sunshine and sat under the tents at the ground, the PCC players awards party started with the Club Captain and Chairman giving a welcome and thank you speech for the efforts of every member throughout the season that have resulted in a hugely successful second season. The highlights of which were reaching the Bangkok International Sixes Cup Final, finishing a very commendable 5th in the Bangkok Premier League, entering a team in the Chiang Mai International Sixes and not forgetting winning the Bowl in our very own Pattaya International Sixes Tournament (PIST – somewhat appropriate!).

The batting prize was awarded to Simon for his consistent performances throughout the season and averaging 65 whilst the bowling award was presented to Usman for his brisk left arm seamers that brought him a total of 32 wickets.

Player of the Season went to Sunny Qayum for his all round performances with bat, ball and wicket keeping. The Thoroughbred of the Year award was delicately presented to Rob ‘Zimmer’ Young for his outstanding contributions both on and off the field and the Junior award went to Yogesh who as a 14 year old represented the first XI and displayed a level of maturity and considerable talent as a fast bowler that belied his years.

Pattaya Cricket Club continues to go from strength to strength and welcomes anyone interested in cricket of all abilities, age, shape and size to come along and join in the fun. For more information please refer to our website at www. pattayacricketclub.com.


PSC team plays in Softball Championship game

The Pattaya Sports Club Softball Team as they lined up for the tournament in Bangkok, Sunday, Dec. 11.

John Stockton

After a two year hiatus from tournament play the Pattaya Sports Club Softball Team returned to competitive play with an outstanding and completely unexpected runner-up finish in Bangkok on Dec 11.

The Pattaya team visited the Thai-Taiwanese field for a friendly tournament to prepare for the prestigious Thai-Taiwanese Tournament in Feb 2012 which will feature 15 teams from 9 countries. Because of the advanced age and physical and emotional ailments of most of the players on the Pattaya team, our focus was on having fun. We did that and more, after the round robin part of the tournament we had earned the 3rd seed in the single elimination finals.

We faced the Home Run Team from Bangkok in the semi final, a team we had lost to earlier in the day, and much to their shock, but less to ours, we easily beat them. This earned us a spot in the championship game against the Thai-Taiwanese A Team, who hadn’t lost a game all day. Despite our best efforts and dreams of glory, reality set in and we were taken to the cleaners, so to speak. But a runner-up finish in tournament play builds our confidence for a respectable finish in our next tournament in Feb.

The Pattaya Sports Club softball group plays every Sunday and is always looking for new players and welcomes everybody regardless of age, skill level, experience or time away from the game. We play slow pitch recreational pick ups games every Sunday at 12 noon and finish about 3pm. Show up a bit early to warm up, and get your name on the lineup.

We have some spare gloves and all the other equipment needed to play. We charge 40 baht to play which covers field maintenance, bats and balls, ice and all the free water you can drink (other beverages are available at reasonable prices). Spectators are always welcome as well, so come on out and give it a try!

To find the softball field, go south on Sukumvit, 800 meters past Theppasit Road (that is the intersection by the Outlet Mall), turn left off of Sukumvit onto soi 87, go 4.3km, turn left on soi 15, after 600 meters the softball field is on the left. There is a map and more information at www.pattayasports.org.


Strong marketing campaign planned for 2012 PTT Pattaya Open

The working group poses for a photo at the Dusit Thani Pattaya following their meeting to discuss preparations for the 2012 PTT Pattaya Open tennis tournament.

Pentangle Promotions Co., Ltd, the licence holders and organizers of the PTT Pattaya Open recently held a working group meeting with the Dusit Thani Hotel, Pattaya to discuss preparations for the 2012 tournament, which will be held at the hotel from 5–12 February 2012. Items on the agenda included the venue set-up, functions, security, support activities and the PR and marketing plans.

The 2012 PTT Pattaya Open will utilize the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) umbrella theme “strong is beautiful” for its marketing campaign, which will commence from the second half of December 2011 through until the end of the tournament. At the heart of the marketing activities is an extensive outdoor advertising campaign in Pattaya as well as utilizing BTS stations in Bangkok. TV and radio promotion spots and newspaper advertising will be part of the mix in the 10,000,000 baht campaign stretching over 2 months.

Support activities planned around the tournament include a beach reclamation project in Pattaya Bay, programmes for underprivileged children in Pattaya and kids clinics for aspiring young tennis players.

Full details of the tournament and the support activities will be made public at a press conference to launch the 2012 PTT Pattaya Open at the Dusit Thani Hotel, Bangkok on 6 January 2012.
