Green Valley is a golf course that continues to impress both locals and visitors alike. There were so many golfers who came back for the presentation that commented on what a great day they had and how perfect the course is looking, and playing.
It was a competition that the 24 golfers got through without rain, which seems to have appeared a bit late this year. The rain that we should have gotten in September is now pelting down in October, but surely this can’t last much longer?

This is also the season of the swallows returning to Capistrano, or at least the snowbirds from Europe, Japan and the States are making their way back to Soi LK Metro! This last week we have seen our old mates Ken Aihara, Ray Powell, Peter LeNoury, Billy Eyles, Barry Collier, John Hutt and more (I have forgotten with apologies) come back to join in the fray that is the Monday comp!
Speaking of Mr. LeNoury, his recent travels around Thailand have not hurt his golf game, as he most efficiently rode back with a fine 39 to tie with Ken Grimes for 1st place. Kenny’s partner in ‘Grime’, one Robbie Taylor, was a couple back and his respectable 37 gave him sole second place.
Wednesday, Oct. 22, Kabinburi S.C. – Medal
1st Chaten Patel (13) net 68
2nd Bryan Carroll (18) net 76
3rd Dale Shier (12) net 79
A slight change of plans to the schedule as there were so many blokes with schedule conflicts we all opted for an easier road trip of just over 2 hours up to Kabinburi and save the Khao Yai trip for another day. It may have been the best decision as we had 3 days of beautiful weather to welcome us to Prachinburi.
We had a lot of first timers on this trip and all were very happy with the condition and layout of the course. This is billed as the “Longest Golf Course in Thailand” and at 8,075 from the tips, it must surely be true. The course was designed by famed Japanese course architect Yoshikazu Kato, who also penned Treasure Hill and the world famous Blue Canyon down in Phuket.

With a first place and 2 second place finishes, the tour winner was Galwayman Bryan Carroll. Bryan turned 70 a couple of months back and to score this well 3 days on the trot is great going indeed. Won’t be long now before the old boy is shooting his age!
