Tuesday, Nov. 10, Crystal Bay – Stableford

Tuesday we went with 3 groups to Crystal Bay and played the A and C courses.  The condition of the course was not too bad but around the greens the soil was very soft and the greens themselves were not very good and slow.  Besides that, the speed of the putting surfaces on the A-course was completely different from the C-course.  Nevertheless we still had a good day. 

Neil Harvey (H/cap 16) was the winner on the day with 36 stableford points.  Jonathan Pratt (10) and Willem Lasonder (20) played a strong front nine, but fell back on the back nine and came in second and third with 35 and 34 points respectively.

The near pins went to Jonathan Pratt (2), George Gamble and Willem Lasonder.

Thursday, Nov. 12, Plutaluang – Stableford

We went to Plutaluang on Thursday where it had been a long time since we last visited and we found the condition of the course to be disappointing.  The layout was wet and there is a lot of maintenance ongoing at the moment.  The weather was hot and dry and we managed to finish just before the rain started.
