ANOTHER CLOSE EVENT AT PATTANA

Winner of the Green Jacket, Brendan Kane, alongside recipient of the dreaded wig, Paul Stewart.

Grey clouds greeted the 33 golfers that went to Pattana with The Links but unlike Royal Lakeside on Monday, the rain stayed away and everyone got home dry. We were allocated Courses B and C with the yellow tees being selected which was still a good test of golf at 6300 yards.

                Heavy rain over the last few weeks have affected all the courses in the region and Pattana was no different with little run on the fairway. The greens however were excellent with the ball running true. For value for money, Pattana is up there with the best and their management has always been generous with The Links in offering our 9 groups 2 Tee starts.

                The last few weeks have also seen some close run events and today we had 3 players on 38 points with Brendan Kane coming out on top courtesy of a better last 6 holes. Brendan birdied the last hole which ultimately gave him the win over Mike Souden and Vee Reece. One of Vee`s playing partners, Alan White, claimed 4th place whilst one of Brendan`s playing partners, Paul Stewart, won the dreaded wig.
