McGuigan Tops Tight Finish

Another week ended for the golfers of the Pattaya Links Golf Society with a visit to Green Valley to play a stableford competition from the white tees on a course well prepared.

Fairways were in good condition but were a little slow as a result of some recent rain but greens were running at a good pace. Only five groups were present today, meaning a single flight, but there was still enough quality to make a tight competition with only two points spanning the first five places.

In fourth was Len Jones with 32 points, losing on countback to recent winner Paul Chesney in third. Second place went to Aussie Mike Tottenham with 33 points leaving Irishman Donal McGuigan the victor with 34.

Near pins went to Dave Arataki (5), Kevin Rogers (8), Chris Barker (13) and Paul Chesney (16)

Kevin Labar’s excellent front nine of 19 points took one of the consolation prizes, as did Maurice Roberts whose 17 points on the back nine was the best of the non-winners.

The absence of the wig winner meant no presentation was made, much to the relief of Tip Briney who was also in the frame and a day which began with some chaos with transport and saw Mr Phil show some uncharacteristic charity by withholding the “silly hat” award for the day.

He will be much more vigilant next week however. Be warned golfers!
