Woods, another medal, just one away from Kenny

TGC competition write up for week ending March 29


This is Thailand and the weather was wet on Monday. Morning showers, punters did not come to the club (opted to have breakfast with their secretary), some came and decided the weather too bad to travel, some went and came home without playing a stroke. As a result of the rain the field was diminished but those who played enjoyed fast greens, overcast conditions and only lengthened the game by 25 minutes greater than normal. A really great day to play. Sum num nar. the Captain lefty 40 points off 17 but I think less next week Mick Beresford lefty 39 points off 14 two with 38 points Mimi lefty off 7 and Yui Birch 38 points off 29 (looks like Fred will be washing the dishes)


A full van for Greenwood on Tuesday. Played C and B from the front tees. The course is in good condition with the greens steady which is probably in line with the handicaps of our players. Greenwood seldom disappoints and Tuesday was no exception. two boys from Melbourne both with 40 points, Nick Hague off 13 and Zed Beloglavec

off 17 Project Smile winner Bob Mulholland for the near pin



Thursday a little overcast and then a little warm. We played Pattana who have 3 nines. Today was the same as last week B (the first hole is the aircraft carrier) with water on both sides of the fairway and C for the second nine. Greens quick and hard, I struggled to see and repair pitch marks as the greens are hard and fast with enough slope not to take them for granted. Obviously, this combination is easier for some, or maybe “even a blind squirrel finds a nut some days”. Jeff Calrow UK 43 points off 14, fly’s home tomorrow “have a safe flight mate”. Greg Gawson AUS 42 from 21 said “just couldn’t do anything wrong” Stephen Downs US 39 off 8, goes home next week the representative from the “old folks Home” Alan Young for the Project Smile near pin, then 3 putted from 3 feet that’s golf

Monthly Medal Friday at Khao Kheow, A &B. Could it get any better? Played 6400 about, the yellow tees. A bit of talk during the week about tee preference, quality of field, you know all the same stuff. Another couple of reds and the decision was made for me. Greens fast and true, I only heard of one 4 putt today. Plenty in the drink but that’s golf. winner winner chicken dinner Mark Wood SCO net 68 off 10 two with net 74 Jim Dundon US and Mimi JPN off 6 really honest rounds, well done boys Project Smile near pin, the signature hole B8, Jeff Atherton and made the putt, cheers

    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
