Pattaya Golf Society (IPGC) at Rabbi’s Elephant Bar

For the second time in eight days the Pattaya Golf Society found themselves at Rayong Country Club on yet another public holiday on Monday, 12th December.  Again the format was stableford and the return of some special old friends after a gap of a few years made the day enjoyable.

Once again having to sit things out was Mr Len whose daily treatment progresses after his confrontation with a street dog and the administration of the day was left in the safe hands of Tony Thorne.  Not content with that, Tony went on to share the win with Larry Slattery with 31 points showing that there is no substitute for experience on a course with recently dressed greens and a subtle layout.

In third place was Swedish lady Helene Lindberg with 28 points, marking her return with a successful round.  Husband Michael took the Booby Bevy in resigned fashion as it was never destined to go anywhere else after more than two years away from Pattaya.

Larry rounded off the day with the only birdie ‘2’, on the sixteenth and the presentation went on long afterwards in Soi Buakhao.  Golf is more than just hitting the little white ball around on a fine day!
