Monday, July 22, Phoenix Gold – Stableford

Phoenix was in splendid condition and the greens were superb to putt on. With just three groups today we got to start bang on time and there were no delays at all.

The scoring was reasonable with nobody beating handicap so a countback was required to determine 1st and 2nd but Bob Scott took 3rd spot with 35 points, Chris Dodd was beaten into 2nd place by the little French general Gerard Lambert, Both scored 36 points but Gerard had 1 point better on the back-nine.

There was only one 2, going to Miss May.

Wednesday, July 24, Green Valley – Stableford

Generally, the scoring was good today at Green Valley but Miss Ta (H/cap 21) was the best of the bunch with 43 points, including a very good 40 gross and 23 points after the turn. Miss Ta (11) made a valiant effort to keep up with no double bogies, 6 pars and a birdie but had to settle for 2nd place and 38 points, one point ahead of Miss Sa (20) in 3rd place.

The consistent Selwyn Wegner (14) took the plaudits in the men’s division with 39 points, one point ahead of Arch Armstrong (10) in 2nd place, the latter winning a countback over Jeff North (9).

There were three 2s today, from Peter Le Noury, Miss Phin and Miss Porn.

Wednesday, July 24, Laem Chabang – Stableford

Laem Chabang was the alternative venue on Wednesday and the B and C course was the real winner on the day as only one golfer played better than handicap. There was a countback between Rick Culley and Peter Terry, both with 34 points but Peter had the better back-nine and took 3rd spot. Second place went to Bill Peach with 35 points and one of the Aussie lads, Brian Scott, took the top spot with 37.

There were two 2s, coming from Paul Hack and Glyn Davies.

Friday, July 26, Phoenix Gold – Scramble

Phoenix Gold was the challenge today for the Billabong monthly scramble, with 11 teams of four competing for the bragging rights.

The Valley Hackers had a field day to give Ed Horrocks a send off as he is heading home to the USA to live. Their team scored a magnificent 55.1, which even at Phoenix is some score The quartet of Sandy Chapo, his Lovely lady Sasicha, Todd Givens and his lovely wife Nok managed to take second place with a fine 57 net, and the team of Glenn Smith, Chris Dodd, Steve Croy and Auke Engekles took third with 57.2.
