PSC Golf Bunker Boys at The Ranch
Monday, Feb. 8, Khao Kheow (yellow tees) – Stableford
Twenty-two Bunker Boys made the trek up the motorway to play the always challenging Khao Kheow Country Club. The weather was most obliging and it was a perfect day for golf: twenty-eight degrees, blue skies, with a slight, almost cool breeze.
Tony Scambler.
The two Tony’s were the men of the day: Tony Scambler posting a very nice 40 stableford points, and Tony Robbins missing a hole-n-one on the island green by inches. A tap in birdie is such a nice feeling.
A Flight
1st Tony Scambler (12) 40pts
2nd Gerry Cooney (17) 35pts
3rd Alan Freeman (5) 34pts
B Flight
1st Arthur Rowley (31) 35pts
2nd Trevor Priestly (22) 33pts
3rd Peter Habgood (24) 32pts
Near Pins: Paul Carey, Peter Mannion, Keith Norman, Tony Robbins.
Wednesday, Feb. 10, The Emerald – Medal
The track today looked more like a Manhattan brownstone than a richly green gemstone: brown, parched hardpan areas everywhere. Management most definitely needs to do a rain dance.
The scores reflected the poor conditions with numerous scorecards being ripped up and set a sail. Not a single player was able to play to his handicap, and a net 76 took first place.
1st Geoff Parker (13) net 76
2nd Greg Berry (15) net 77
3rd Dave Ashman (17) net 77
Near Pins: Gordon Melia, Peter Mannion, Alex Kilcoyne.
Friday, Feb. 12, Mt. Shadow (blue tees) – Stableford
It seemed like every golf society in Pattaya was gathered at the first tee on this beautiful Friday morning. After a long wait it was difficult for the BB’s to get their mojo working and, again today, no one was able to play to his handicap: a mere 26 stableford average.
The word scruffy is not to be used lightly but most assuredly describes the condition of the track today: leaves, branches, grass cuttings, paper and cigarette butts strewn here and there and everywhere. Very unusual for such a nice course.
1st Mike Corner (19) 34pts
2nd Gerry Cooney (17) 31pts
3rd Ed Graham (10) 30pts
Near Pins: Tony Robbins, Jimmy Carr, Mike Corner, Andy Scambler.
