Cafe Kronborg played at Pattaya Country Club on Monday and the views of the course were mixed; some people thought it was in good condition, others thought it was just average.  I suppose it depended on where your ball finished up on the course and on the greens.  Tee off was a little early and things moved along well with no delays.  Pleasantly, for a change, the course played a little easier today, with most of the field making at least 30 points.

The A Flight winner was Rob Brown with 39 points, the best score of the day and the lowest gross playing off his 8 handicap.  Rob was in the second group and managed to put his name on every near pin and long putt, highlighting his accuracy, however, he was perplexed to find that they had all been beaten by the end of the day.  Second place was decided on count-back with 2 players tied on 38 points.  Jon Dean, a Pattaya CC specialist, came second with a countback of 20 points and a disappointed Ty Anderson took third with 19.  Fourth was Peter Bygballe with 37 points, another player finding his form.

In B Flight a welcome new addition to the winner’s circle was a surprised Birgit Jorgensen, having a proper PSC handicap for the first time and making good use of it with a solid 35 points and taking top spot.  Second, third and fourth places were decided on count-back with 3 players making 34 points.  Jan Lovgreen was in second place with a count-back of 16 points and 12 points on the last 6, Kurt Sandgaard was third with a count-back of 16 and 10 on the last 6, and returning to form after struggling with an injury which had impaired his ability to turn was the Admiral Dave Richardson, taking fourth place with a countback of 15 points and a roar of approval from the group.
