Fourteen golfers out for the day at Khao Kheow and there was not one complaint regarding the condition of the course. Fairways were mowed and tidy, greens ran true and the bunkers were clean and raked as well.

We were playing only the one flight with all novelties in play and attacked the course from the yellow (& red) tees. We were playing courses A & B.

It was to be Kae Dayton’s day as she returned a very good score of thirty-seven points and was also celebrating her wedding anniversary to husband Roy this week. Second past the post (only 1 shot from the pace) was Bill Wilkinson and rounding off the podium places was Dave Maw on thirty-four.

Playing from the yellow (and Red) tees, our nineteen players attacked Crystal Bay’s B and C nines in that order. Have to say that the course looked in very good nick but as we got further along it was starting to show that it was dry and in need of a good drenching. With the dryness the run was quite good and golfers took advantage.

Today’s numbers allowed us to play the one flight only and it was Shane “The Jock” Young that came up trumps, scoring 43 points to finish 3 ahead of his nearest opponent. Second home was ever-reliable Keith Buchanan and third past the post was Jock’s playing partner Steve Younger, with Roy Dayton and Mikito Homma filling the last two spots on the podium.
