2nd Ed Wyckoff (12) net 71

3rd Bob Newell (7) net 71

B Flight

1st Alan Delaney (20) net 70

Near Pins: No 4 Eddie Henshaw, No 9 Bob Newell, No 12 JP Maffray, No 16 Peter LeNoury.

Steve Mulberry started out the week with the biggest prize of the month, the cut-crystal whiskey glass and a bottle of Jameson’s Irish whiskey emblematic of the monthly medal.  Steve also gains automatic entry to the gold medal later in the year.

Steve’s net 69 was one clear of the top man in B Flight, Irishman Alan Delaney.  Steve edged a pair of well seasoned A Flight players in Ed ‘our man in the White House’ Wyckoff and ‘Broadmore’ Bob Newell.  Bob’s count back woes continued as Ed’s more favorable back nine provided him with the biggest sack of loot.

Mickey ‘nine holes’ Beresford and Don ‘the senior’ Lehmer, locked together a shot in arrears, followed Alan up the B Flight podium steps with Mickey getting to lead the way thanks to a favorable count back.

Peter LeNoury and Pierre Bietry split a very large 2’s pot

Monday, Nov. 11, Treasure Hill – Stableford

1st Ed Wyckoff (12) 35pts

2nd Gordon Kerr (12) 32pts

3rd Tore Eliassen (14) 28pts

Ed ‘our man in the White house’ Wyckoff is resilient if nothing else.  Sunday night’s drama and revelry would have left most of us floundering.  Not Ed.  He got up, shook it all off and charged round the tough Treasure Hill layout, returning a best on the day 35 points to go with his second place Sunday finish.

Long stay visitor Gordon ‘Ko’ Kerr, playing like his beloved Arsenal, picked up the silver three shots in arrears while Tore Eliassen was gob smacked to find his 28 points was good for the bronze.  Tore also sunk the only 2 of the day.

Tuesday, Nov. 12, Burapha A & B – Stableford

A Flight

1st Justin Fowlis (13) 39pts

2nd Thierry Petrement (14) 36pts

3rd Kevin McEntee (6) 36pts

B Flight

1st Ian Pickles (22) 40pts

2nd Jim Elphick (24) 39pts

3rd Nick Shaw (15) 37pts

Burapha A & B is always a good test of golf.  If it presents one challenge for the golf manager (the Donkey) it is the east course as it is also referred to.  It is a shortish 6,218 yards from the whites and is routinely emasculated by the field, while the blues, still not long in total (6730) has five par fours over 400 yds, with three in a row 8, 9, 10, nearly unreachable to all but the longest hitters.

In an effort to provide the shorter hitters with a fun day, the GM decided to play from the white tees today.  This suited Ian Pickles down to the ground as his excellent 40 points was tops in B Flight and also the top score on the day.  Ian was followed up the podium steps by the Poppy Day pairs winners Jimmy ‘two shot’s’ Elphick and Nick ‘Elvis’ Shaw and in that order of ascent.

In A Flight, newly arrived Justin Fowlis wasted no time climbing the podium steps as his 39 points took the top spot.  Nice guy Thierry Petrement did the unthinkable, winning a count back over Kevin ‘you know who’ and relegating him to the bronze, much to the delight of the field.

Thierry also shared the 2’s pot with Danny Lloyd and John Ahmed.

Wednesday, Nov. 13, Green Valley – Stableford

A Flight

1st Ed Wyckoff (12) 36pts

2nd Les Cobban (8) 35pts

3rd John Pierrel (11) 33pts

B Flight

1st Eddy Beilby (17) 38pts

2nd Ian Pickles (22) 36pts

3rd Don Lehmer (19) 36pts

If it wasn’t the week of the monthly medal then surely the real star of the week would have had a shot at the title slot of this article.  Ed ‘our man in the White House’ Wyckoff’s solid even par round today took the plaudits’ in the top flight.  Les Cobban, a shot back, took the silver as Texan John Pierrel rounded out the flight with33 points.

The man of the match and only player to better par was B Flight’s Eddy ‘the Eagle’ Beilby with a very impressive 38 points.  Ian Pickles gave an inkling that it might be a sign of things to come this week as he prevailed for second place on count back over Don ‘the ladies man’ Lehmer.  Don took this in his stride as he was the sole heir to the 2’s pot; a missing persons alert was issued shortly after the presentation.

Thursday, Nov. 14, Crystal Bay B & C – Stableford

A Flight

1st Kevin McEntee (6) 39pts

2nd Francis Goyons (9) 38pts

3rd Thierry Petrement (14) 38pts

B Flight

1st Jorn Finnerup (28) 41pts

2nd Bob Fagan (19) 37pts

3rd Liam McGuiness (18) 36pts

Thursday’s venue was the intriguing construct of Thai Takenaka – Crystal Bay – and Jorn Finnerup showed fine mettle as he topped the day and B Flight with 41 sparkling points. That winning B Flight score was three clear of good friend Bob Fagan and a further stroke from third placed Liam McGuiness.

Kevin ‘you know who’ always leaves them guessing when he is going to strike but never waiting long as he topped A Flight with a solid 39 points off his 6 handicap.  That A Flight winning score was one clear of a pair of Frenchmen, Francis Goyons and pay window specialist Thierry Petrement.  Francis had the better of the count back, while Thierry contributed moderately to the Land of Smiles when he landed the third spot.

Both Kevin McEntee and Francis Goyons notched a 2 along with John Ahmed, and Bob Fagan.
