PSC Golf from The Bunker Boys
Monday, June 4, Khao Kheow – Stableford
1st Neil Carter (13) 38pts
2nd Jimmy Carr (18) 34pts
3rd Steve Durey (23) 32pts
Today’s round was played at the always popular Khao Kheow course, which was in its usual fine condition apart from the tee boxes which were a bit ragged and in need of mowing. Due to recent heavy rain and the fact the yellow tees had been pushed back quite a bit the course played long today, otherwise conditions were perfect for golf with moderate temperatures and no wind.
Neil Carter took the honors with an excellent thirty-eight points and had the complete game today; he drove the ball straight and long, approaches to the green were accurate and the putts went down. Four points adrift Jimmy Carr took second place while third place was filled by Steve Durey on countback from Michael Brett, both with thirty-two.
Near pins went to Jimmy Carr, Steve Durey, and two to Michael Brett.
Wednesday, June 6, Pattavia – Stableford
1st Alan Sullivan (15) 44pts
2nd Neil Carter (13) 37pts
3rd Jimmy Carr (17) 34pts
A baker’s dozen fronted up for today’s round at Pattavia where the weather was pleasant with blue skies, wispy white clouds, and moderate temperatures. The course was in good shape as usual.
Alan Sullivanm, who has been in great form lately, stormed home in first place with a remarkable score of forty-four points off a fifteen handicap. This was golf at its best and in particular his short game was flawless. A full seven strokes back in second place was Neil Carter on thirty-seven, a score with which most times one would expect to win. Jimmy Carr took third with thirty-four points.
Near pins went to Geoff Parker, Alan Sullivan, Neil Carter, and Tony Robbins.
Friday, June 8,
Crystal Bay – Medal
1st Takeshi Hakozaki (13) net 65
2nd Roger Touhy (13) net 69
3rd Neil Carter (13) net 70
4th Steve Durey (21) net 70
Another thirteen players fronted up for the first medal round of the month at Crystal Bay. The fairways had just been mowed and were in fantastic condition. The greens were also in good shape but as usual, the C nine were a bit slower than the B nine.
Light rain fell for a brief period but this time without the usual thunder and lightning so, fortunately, there was no interruption to play and the round was completed in about three and a half hours which was excellent.
Some very good scores were returned none more so than that by Takeshi Hakozaki who had a magnificent net sixty-five on his home course. Second place went to Roger Touhy with a net sixty-nine, while Neil Carter edged out Steve Durey for third place.
Near pins went to Roger Touhy and two to Michael Brett.
