Hot week in Pattaya

 

TGC Competition Results for week ended May 10th

 

Warm at Green Valley Monday. The course is still very dry. The greens hard and fast. Welcome back to a couple of punters we haven’t seen for a year or two. John Emmerson played in an early group with another couple of locals and shot 36 points from 11. “Phil the horse” was also on the sheet and played with the boys in the van. He also shot 36 points on the handicap of 14. I have often wondered about his nickname? Is it his connection with the industry or his role as a sire?? two guys with 42 points, Stephen Downs US and a new player Don Kelly US who was sent this way by R2. Don also won the near pin and made the putt Richie McGhee 38 points off 2, I think handy would be an understatement

 

Tuesday a quiet drive to Greenwood. A little drama at the front desk. The price quoted two months ago is not what they wanted to charge, eventually they agreed. Played C & B. The course is normally in great condition, fairways good but one set of greens had just been sanded. Yes, we all know it’s a job that has to be done. Didn’t affect these guys. Zed Beloglavec AUS 35 points off 17. Off to Europe for 3 weeks then back to Thailand, have a great trip. Saito JPN 33 points from 21 mate of Jeff Calrow, Tommy Pearson won the near pin but missed the putt

 

Thursday, Parachat Links. Its been a number of years that the Golf Club has been playing here. Some of the querky holes have had work done on them. They are still working on a few more. I noticed new water hazards being built together with some reshaping of fairways. I make an error of judgement with the tee and played the white whereas I should have played the yellow tee. The greens are still a tough read. Curley Binworth AUS 37 points from 14 two guys with 30 points, Allan Pernault FRA and Carlos Aguille US again, Tom Pearson won the near pin and missed the putt

 

Friday, I agreed to have a game for the locals at Silky Oak. Not surprising but very dry like Green Valley. The greens are slow giving the punters every chance the straight putt will go in. Half the field shot their handicap or better. The locals got the chocolates. Kris K 41 points off 10 THAI/US Gary Emmett AUS 40 points off 14 37 points for Terry Danzas, Steve Downs, Fred Birch, Carlos Aguirre, Curly Brinkworth and Richie McGhee

 

Featured are two French visitors together with a Project Smile caddie. The work in the background is a new water hazard at Parichat Links

    Fantastic weather for Green Valley Monday . Rainy season has finished and all the courses are beginning to dry out, Green Valley is no exception. The fairways look a little dry with the greens fast and hard. I heard a new guy say today that the design does not have two holes the same. The course did not worry these guys. Peter Thomas UK 46 points off 20 Tommy Balch SLV Tee US 43 points off 31 and our old favourite Peter LeNoury GNR 41 points off 15 and Project Smile near pin Went home on the weekend Dan Dietz and Mike Omiya, thanks for your support on your holiday 11.30 tee time for Pattavia Century Tuesday. One van nearly full except for Pierre who fell ill overnight and could not make the journey. The course presented well. For those abroad the greens in the beginning were short , difficult and fast. The green keepers have this under control now. They leave the grass a little longer which has given the punters greater chance of stopping the ball when above the hole. The Project Smile hole is number 17 and long and not easy. From time to time there is no one on the green. Tuesday two guys not only hit the green but made the putts. The unlucky punter Ian Brimble. Dave Rose US 39 points off 4, bragged to me about no 3 putts Bob Catlow AUS 33 points off 20 Dave Cloke UK Project Smile near pin and made the putt Thursday, one of my favourite courses, Parichat Links . For the first half of the round the course was windy by a club or two. The course continues to improve with the design settled and now completing the final presentation. I describe the course as a thinking man’s course. A single digit player UK thought it was great and wants to play again at the first opportunity. Robbie Taylor AUS 36 points off 13 two with 33 points, Captain and Ken Grimes AUS off 19 Peter Williamson Project Smile near pin and missed the putt Finished the week with a late start at Eastern Star . The weather was a little warmish with a strong breeze for most of the round. The course is very dry and hard giving you great value for low drives with plenty of run. The down fall is the course has plenty of water to catch you if your direction is a little off. The greens were also very hard and tough to read, a heavy reliance on the knowledge of the caddies. The winners circle reflects the difficulty of the course. Blake Hanna CAN 32 points off 18 Nick Fazakerly 29 points off 7 and the Project Smile near pin, to forgetting to mention he made the putt.

    Great start to the week with perfect weather. Our normal Monday venue Green Valley with still some of visitors in town. A few of the locals away in Vietnam having a look at a Greg Norman course. GV was a little dry, looks like it could do with some rainfall, the greens were hard and fast and consequently no one in the field beat their handicap. three guys with 34 points, Ian Brimble, Troy Haack and Peter Le Noury who also picked up the Project Smile near pin, probably made the putt, it was really close. Warm weather Tuesday at Khao Kheow. First day of holiday for Nick Fazakerley especially considering how cold is was at home in Gernsey. Welcome. We played C and B in that order; the course is starting to dry out. The greens were hard and fast and from time to time difficult to read. The scores reflected the course difficulty not forgetting to mention we played the yellow tee just in front of the blue. Plenty of scores in the 20’s. Peter Milne 35 points off 6, Project Smile near pin, flying home tomorrow, thanks for your support over the last couple of weeks, really appreciated. Dan Dietz 34 points off 11 two guys with 31 points, Ian Brimble US CAN UK and Nick Hanscombe UK Welcome on board to Dave Rose US here for the next 10 weeks, sure to get amongst the envelopes Hot and windy at Treasure Hill Thursday . They were putting plenty of water on the course and have kept most or the course in good order. Like a fortnight ago the greens were hard and fast. Herbert Stel NED 37 points off 19 Dave Rose US 36 points off 4, happy Thanksgiving Bob Catlow AUS 35points off 19 Paul Walsh UK Project Smile near pin, and 3 putted for a bogey Finished the week at Pattana. The management of the Golf Club scheduled the Monthly Medal as a best ball two-man event. All competition funds together with some donations went towards funding Ally Ellison’s education. The prizes for the day were all donated goods and services. Paul Kidder shot some snaps and will post on the club website or fb. We had a late start at 11.30, and with a field of 68 plus starting with two tees we finished about 5.30pm. No rain for the day and quite warm. Some very good scores were turned in, the event worked well. I think the field was happy. The Golf Club held the presentation about 8pm and provided food to finish the day off. winna winna chicken dinner Kyle Roadley (Rochie) and Gavin Perfect net 58 Technical prizes, near pins B7 Dale Shier, B3 Bob Newell, C2 Gary Emmett, C7 Sugar Robinson Captain
