Another Landmark Day

A visit to Burapha is always a memorable event and the Pattaya Links Golf Society chose the course as its Wednesday venue on 14th November. The group comprising eight fourballs were assigned the A and B nines, arguably the best eighteen holes in the province.

Under an overcast sky the course was in fine condition with well grassed fairways and consistent greens and it was another day when landmark golf occurred.

The two divisions were cut at seventeen and under and in the second flight a fine level par round gave Tip Briney fourth place as he found some consistency again. In third was Darren Beavers with a return of 37 points, losing second place to the returning Niall Caven on countback. The flight winner was Steve Baker with 39 points.

Brendan McGovern, the Irish senior playing off plus two, returned the PLGS’ best gross score for the year with 69 which gave him 37 points for fourth place, following Phil Davies in third with 38. Phil lost out to Vincent Smyth on countback.

The winner, and green jacket winner, was Pete Seil with 39 solid points.

Elsewhere Maurice Roberts nailed his “thirteenth or fourteenth” – his words – hole in one, on A3, whilst also winning the next near pin three holes later.

He was joined in the near pin race by Paul Stewart (B3) and Tommy Marshall (B8).

The consolation best front nine was won by Martin Hoblyn (19 points) and Nigel Harrison recorded the best back nine of 23 points, which helped add some respectability to his card.

In Ken Page’s absence the wig was presented to Ian Mollard whilst Dave Arataki wore the silly hat after his eight point haul on the back nine.

Final word from Maurice, “I don’t even get excited anymore”. Well, we do Maurice and congratulations and thanks for ringing the bell!
