Quality All Round at Pattavia

Low season at the Links Golf Society began with a trip to Pattavia to play a stableford competition from the white tees on a course which was in excellent condition with greens more customer friendly than they have been on previous visits.

Everything was perfect and the field, a third of which was playing off single figures, was divided into two flights at fifteen and under.

In the second flight Paul Chesney found some good form again to take third place with 35 points, one behind Paul Wallace’s 36 point runner-up finish.

The winner was Aussie golfer Stu Thompson and his round of 38 points marked his best score for a long while with the group.

The top flight was all about quality and scratch golfer Brendan McGovern’s gross 69 was the pick of the day. It gave him 38 points which took second place, ahead of Links “newbie” Ken Aihara’s 36.

First place went to Kevin LaBar. The Southern Californian golfer fired a fine 39 points to win the flight and his maiden green jacket.

Near pins went to Colin Smith (4), Phil Davies (7), Ken Aihara (13) and Pete Seil (17). The consolation prizes went to Huw Phillips for his best front nine of 20 points and Rod Stevens’ 19 on the back.

It was a fitting way for the Canadian golfer to draw the curtains on his Links golf this trip, having played a series of rounds which rivalled his best over here.

Winner …”A” flight……Kevin LaBar (15)……………..39 pts

2^nd Place…………………..Brendon McGovern (0)……38 pts

3^rd Place……………………Ken Aihara (8)………………..36 pts c/back

Winner…”B” flight……..Stu Thompson (18)………..38 pts

2^nd Place……………………Paul Wallace (17)…………..36 pts

3^rd Place…………………….Paul Chesney (22)…………35 pts

Finally Mr Phil found a suitable candidate for the wig and there was no hiding place for Martin Patch as the boss patrolled the bar, wig in hand, looking for the golfer who had managed the poorest round of the day.
