Not such a good start to the week. Green Valley Monday. The majority of the field could not complete the 18 holes. The van guys only completed up to hole 5 or 6. The local guys completed the track. Although being disappointed in not being able to finish the course and the reservoirs needs the water. We will see the benefit next week. Dave Ferris 33 points off 20 Gary Emmett 32 points off 13
One of my favourites Tuesday Pattavia Century. The course presented well and the greens were not too difficult for the winners today. Nobody hit the Project Smile near pin. While away playing Pattaya had heavy rainfall. For those abroad the city has been doing extensive work on getting the water away. You may recall both Soi Boakow and Soi LK being flooded for hours waiting for the water to subside. No problem now, the van arrived back mid-afternoon to dry Soi’s. Kim Scadden AUS 41 points off 21 Zed Beloglavic AUS 40 points off 17
Thursday Eastern Star. Still receiving low season prices, 1250 BHT all in. Quite a few playing Eastern Star but no delays. For the middle 4- or 5-holes showers but nothing to stop for. One of our regulars who won silver and the near pin said he liked this course as it plays like a real golf course design. No quirky holes. Zed Beloglavic AUS 32 points off 17 Ben CAN 32 points off 7 and Project Smile near pin
Finished the week at Parichat Links. This course continues with improvements. The difficult par 6 on the second nine is now a par 5. This week they just finished building a host of bunkers behind the green, behind the bunkers is water but at least 20 yds past the green. We had two small bursts of rain for not more than 10 minutes followed by two and half hours of sunshine or overcast, just perfect. Captain 36 points off 17 Lother Eggar 29 points off 16
