Wednesday, Oct. 15, Pattana – Stableford

Our allocated courses today were the C and A nines, which made a change to the last few rounds played here.  We were off the yellow tees as quite a few people regard the whites are too tough and still the scores today were low.

Friday, Oct. 17, Eastern Star – Stableford

This course is still improving throughout, with the exception being a few greens, but you have to expect this at this time of the year.

Gearing up for the Chiang Mai trip the organiser shot 39 points to win division 2, a first for a long time.  Joe Kubon came in second three points behind and Paul Hartley was third on 33.

On the podium again, Chris Voller won division 1 with 39 points, Khalifa Nasser was second three points behind on 36 and the Welsh boy Mike Lewis came third on 35, beating Don Head and Pete Sumner on a 19/19/16 back-nine count back.
