PSC golf from The Golf Club
Monday, Oct. 8, Green Valley (White tees) – Stableford
1st Nick Handscombe (12) 38pts
2nd Geoff Doody (22) 35pts
3rd John Emmerson (12) 34pts
Oh, what a strange game we play. Full of ups and downs, insecurities and surprises, golf never fails to keep us entertained in one way or another. It was the turn of our very regular visitor Nicky Handscombe to capture the spoils this week as his 38 points was enough to take the top spot at Green Valley. Nicky gets round Europe and Asia with work and his off time is spent here on our local links and with our pork chops from the grill.
Nick Handscombe doing what everyone at The Golf Club loves most.
The course continues to stay in very good condition, despite all the recent rains. Geoff “Howdy” Doody usually plays with us on a Monday. We don’t see much of him as he resides on that dark side of town where the goblins and trolls live. Nice to see you in the frame Geoff; well played mate! Our own TGC partner John Emmerson brought up the rear with 34 points playing off a 12 handicap.
Even though Pattaya was inundated by flooding over the past 2 weeks, we had no fear here at The Golf Club. As the waters rose on Soi LK Metro, we knew the expert sandbagging abilities of a certain Khun John would certainly keep us in the dry.
Wednesday, Oct. 10, Phoenix (White tees) – Stableford
1st Nick Handscombe (11) 39pts
2nd Phil Smedley (12) 36pts
3rd Ross Schiffre (15) 35pts
Yes, we were here just last week but it was so popular, we decided to come back. Nicky Handscombe was glad we did as he was cut a stroke from his Monday win and, just to show us, he goes out to shoot an even better score of 39 off his 11 handicap! Sure is a fun game sometimes.
Ross Schiffre, Phil Smedley & Nicky Handscombe were the top three on Wednesday.
Our capitano de golf, Sir Philip of Smedley, had another consistent round and took second with 36 points, with visiting Ross Schiffre scooping third a stroke back. Nick is off for a few weeks, so now we all have half a chance of winning once again. Nice double mate!
For Friday’s golf we had the pleasure of joining Joe and the PSC gang at Pleasant Valley, so please see the write up for the big tournament results. Thanks for joining us for another great week of quality golf here at The Golf Club, the home of golf in Pattaya.
