PSC golf from Siam Country Resort
Tuesday, May 20, Eastern Star – Stableford
The purpose of Tuesday’s visit to Eastern Star was twofold, as the PSC was to hold its monthly tournament there on Friday and a little bit of a ‘sighter’ always comes in handy for those days. The course was in good condition, with the greens running true, if perhaps a little on the firm side.
Jeff Wylie (6) & Neil Harvey (19), who both celebrated their birthdays in the preceding days, led the way with 34 & 33 points respectively. Jeff and Neil were also amongst the near pin winners, with Jonathan and Willem scoring the others.

On return to SCR the golfers had a bit of tucker, courtesy of the birthday boys, which went down well with a cold drink, or two.
Thursday, may 22, Pleasant Valley – Stableford
Thursday saw us travel up Hwy 7 on our way to Pleasant Valley, with the course found to be in good condition, although the greens were considerably slower than Eastern Star’s.
In a repeat of Tuesday’s result it was Jeff and Neil to the fore again with scores of 39 & 33 respectively. Another year older did not seem to dampen the boys’ resolve and perhaps they could just continue to improve in this their 60th year.
Near pins went to Mike, Jeff and Jonathan, with Mike perhaps having hit the best shot of the 3 being the only one to miss his birdie 2.
As mentioned earlier we had 2 teams at the PSC Monthly, with mixed results; Jeff and Martin got 3rd spot with 45 points, Martin getting a good near pin on the 17th in B flight, while Willem and Jim were content with a lucky draw.
Note: Siam Country Resort, Restaurant & Bar is located just off Siam Country Club Rd, after going under the arch past the 7/11, turn right after 50 metres, with the venue on the left another 200 metres along. Golf from here is generally played on Tuesday & Thursday, with the Resort hosting prompt presentations on both days.
As a PSC affiliated venue we welcome ALL golfers, including ladies & seniors (>60s) who have opted for the “Silver” tee option. Call 089 094 1841 for scheduling or enquiries. Hope to see you there, cheers & good golfing!
