What a way to start Grand Final week for the Aussies. Monday Monthly Medal Green Valley. Overnight in Pattaya the rain poured down really heavy. To my delight all on the list showed up and filled the van. For a couple of reasons, the normal locals were otherwise engaged, injured and on a trip away. During the game very light rain but nothing to delay playing. Dale Shier UK net 65 off 14 Captain net 68 off 17 Thierry Danzos Project Smile near pin and sank the putt
Tuesday off to Greenwood. Played B & C in terrific weather. The course presents well. As it is rainy season courses are completing “coring the greens” using the rain to wash in the sand. The last four holes had the greens sanded and cored. They still rolled ok. Just after presentation the heavens opened up for nearly an hour. Dale offered Pierre a room upstairs if he couldn’t make it home, ha ha. Lother Egger 32 points Mutzie 31 points, back in town for a couple of week R & R
Thursday was our first trial at late tee times. Some of the clubs are offering reduced prices for a late start. Thursday, Khao Kheow tee time 11.00. As it turned out the starter let us go when ready and the price was 1300bht all in. Played A & C. B was closed. The course was in excellent order, the greens rolled well while the fairways are in good nick. The rain has been doing a great job with the presentation of the course. Dale Shier UK 41 points off 13, two wins this week, the handicapper will fix him Saturday Robbie Taylor AUS 38 points off 12 Ed Karrois US 36 points off 12
Finished the week off at Navy. Played North and West from the white tees. Although its rainy season the two groups were threatened for most of the day with distant thunder storms. Just after we finished, the clubs in the van and having a quiet one after the round the rain came down heavy. Even with the rain we have had so far this season the lake is still nearly dry. Zed Beloglavic AUS 38 points off 15 Richie McGhee AUS 33 points off 2 and Project Smile near pin, sank the putt Nico Johamsem NOR 32 points
