IPGC Pattaya Golf Society at Rabbi’s Elephant Bar

The Pattaya Golf Society played a stableford competition at Khao Kheow over the B and C nines on Monday, 11th April.  The course was in fine condition but for some reason the greens were the slowest they had been for many months.

The two flights were cut at seventeen and under and the top flight played from the yellow tees with Phil Knight and Jean Morel sharing third place with very mediocre scores of 27 points each.  In second was Ray Jackson on 31 and the flight winner was Wichai Tananusorn with 33 points.  He is in such splendid form at present that one has to look a long way to find his match.

In the second flight, playing from the white tees, Gordon Everingham shaded third place with 34 points, two behind Steve Durey’s 36 points return.  The flight winner, with the best points score of the day, thirty eight, was rookie winner Adam Oyston.

Khun Wichai and Gordon Everingham took the ‘2’s pot in their respective flights and Mal Russell was awarded the Booby Bevy after a lacklustre performance on his final appearance this trip.

There was a sting in the tail for Adam as he was later asked to contribute to the tea fund for the boys in brown after foolishly leaving his driving licence at home.  As if it would have mattered anyway.  Good job he had topped his flight at Khao Kheow!
