Friday, Nov. 27, Rayong C.C. – Stableford

It had been quite some time since we had played at Rayong Country Club and we had heard that the course had improved and there was a good deal there, so we decided to go check it out.  

After a late cancellation due to sickness we had a healthy field of 18 golfers and our mini-van left the Phantom Bar right on time at 8.30am and we arrived at the course 45 minutes later.  Talk about a good deal – 1,200 baht for green fee, caddy & shared cart means it was 600 baht per golfer!

Nat Rukkid.

It was understandably fairly busy but we managed to get our first group away 10 minutes earlier than our scheduled 10.00am tee time.  The reports were correct in that the golf course had improved and the greens although a bit slow & bumpy were quite ok for most and in fine weather we proceeded and despite being held up by a Korean five-ball a few groups ahead the pace was not too bad.

It was an enjoyable round on this fine layout and certainly fantastic value for money and most of our groups completed their rounds in about four hours & twenty minutes – we will certainly return before too long.

We had just two lady golfers in the field and it was one of them, Nat Rukkid, who showed the way and won the day with a fine 39 points, 3 points ahead of Mogens Melander in second place.  Christian “Psycho” Boysen finished third on 35 points and with 2 golfers on 34 points the resultant count back saw Garry Hookey (17 point back nine) finish fourth from Gary Williams (16 point back nine) who just missed out.

1st Nat Rukkid (20) 39pts

2nd MogensMelander (27) 36pts

3rd Christian Boysen (10) 35pts

4th Garry Hookey (17) 34pts

Near Pins: 12th – Adam Barton, 16th – Satita Cheoychao

Long Putts: 9th – Christian Boysen, 18th – Phil Davies
