Monday, April 9, Soi Dao – Stableford

We went to Soi Dao on Monday and Tuesday and it is always a sensation to be here.  The surroundings are overwhelming with a beautiful golf course and a high quality hotel and restaurant.  The golf course was in a superb condition and we played two days in nice sunny weather.

Dave Smith had the best of it on Day 1 and came first with 36 points on a count-back over Paddy Devereux while Jonathan Pratt was third with 33 points.

Day 2 saw similar scoring and Martin Hayes was the top man with an even par 36 points.  George Gamble finished one point behind in second on 35 and Willem Lasonder was third with 33.

The near pins went to Jonathan Pratt and Stan Rees on Day 1 and George Gamble and Martin Hayes on Day 2.

The overall result saw Dave Smith in first with a combined 65 points, Paddy Devereux second on 64 and Jonathan Pratt third with 63.

Thursday, April 12, Eastern Star – Stableford

Eastern Star was our venue on Thursday and it was a warm, sunny day.  The course was in very good condition but the greens were difficult to play.  The Songkran promotion was a pleasant surprise and it was an enjoyable day.

It was the last game of George Gamble before returning to Europe and he showed a motivating ambition, winning today with 36 points.  In second was Neil Harvey with 34 points and third was Sam Gettinby with 33.

The near pins went to George Gamble and Stan Rees.
