PSC golf from Siam Country Resort

Tuesday, April 8, Bangpra – Stableford

Tuesday saw us return to Bangpra for the first time since last year’s low season.  The course, the oldest in the area, and at just a little less than 6500 yards from the white tees, always provides a good test.  And so it proved on this day, with the fairways good, and while the greens were probably as slow as they have ever been, they still provided a few flutters when above the hole.

Jeff Wylie (H/cap 7) led the way home with 34 points, ahead of Jonathan Pratt (11) on 32, while Trev & Sam just missed the top two spots.

Both near pins went to Jeff on the front 9, while Jonathan & Neil split the back 9 pins.

Thursday, April 10, Pattana – Stableford

Pattana was our venue for Thursday, with the opening tee shot on B1 being arguably the most intimidating in the area.  The B & C nines were the test of the day and the course was in tip top shape under any examination.  The combination was playing at around 6,600 yards from the whites, as one of the par 5s is currently undergoing some bridge repairs.

Jeff again showed some fine form to sign for 39 points, again ahead of Jonathan, who let a spectacular round slip over the last few holes, cough, cough!

Near pins were spread around between Jeff, Martin & Sam.

Note:  Siam Country Resort, Restaurant & Bar is located just off Siam Country Club Rd, after going under the arch past the 7/11, turn right after 50 metres, with the venue on the left another 200 metres along.  Golf from here is generally played on Tuesday & Thursday, with the Resort hosting prompt presentations on both days.

As a PSC affiliated venue we welcome ALL golfers, including ladies & seniors (>60s) who have opted for the “Silver” tee option.  Call 089 094 1841 for scheduling or enquiries.  Hope to see you there, cheers & good golfing!
