Jomtien Golf with the IPGC

Friday, Feb. 3, Eastern Star – Stableford

Our only report of the week due to our players taking part in the well organized IPGC Club Championship at Khao Kheow on Tuesday and Thursday.  It was a perfect round today with an overcast sky for the whole of the round and a fresh breeze coming off the coast.

We had ten groups playing today with 37 in the competition.  The three divisional cut came at 7-15, 16-20 and 21+ and the best score returned was in division 2 where Tony Thorne won with 37 points.  Colin Aspinall rolled in second one point behind Tony and Paul Young was third on 35 points.

Ian Speirs topped division 1 with 36 points and there were three 32’s fighting for second, with Dennis Scougall securing that spot ahead of Jerry Sweetnam and Tim Hake on a 19/17/12 back-nine count back.

Pilot Jeff Greer flew in with 34 points to win division 3, two ahead of Andre Van De Laan who came second after beating the organizer on a 19/16 back-nine count back.

Near pins went to (Div 1) Jerry McCarthy, Barney Sheedy, Pete Sumner and Jerry Sweetnam, and (Div 2) Colin Aspinall, Karel Ferdinandus and John McGarry.

There were no ‘2’s in division 1 so a rollover to next Friday and in division 2 Frank Kelly birdied the signature 13th to scoop the pool.
