Monday, March 26, Plutaluang – Stableford

On the way in to the clubhouse the East and South courses looked very busy but luckily we had the North and West nines booked today.  The greens here were still very slick and some very tough pin positions were reflected in the scores.

There was a cut of 14-20 and 21+ in the two divisions and 34 points won division 1 for Tim Hake while John Upex was second on 33.  Steve Godfrey placed third on 30 points and in fourth place, beating Paul Butler on a 10/9 back six count-back, was John Walsh after they both scored 29.

Steve Cliff took the win in division 2 with 33 points and Frank Grainger beat Theo Bahrt17/15 for second place after both scored 30 points each.  Andres van De laan came in fourth with 28 points.

Near pins went to (Div 1) Steve Godfrey, Tim Hake and Dave Horne, and (Div 2) Alan Bissell, William Chang, Paul Sturgeon and Willy van Heetvelde.

Bob Comartin birdied the lighthouse hole for the only ‘2’ of the day.
