Cobban Collects at Pattavia

The Pattaya Links Golf Society visited Pattavia on Monday, 12th November looking forward to the start of a new golfing week and found a course in excellent condition with greens which were a little inconsistent, with a slower selection on the front nine and the back nine a little inconsistent. It was not enough to upset the eight groups however and some good scores were recorded.

The field wad divided into two flights with the cut at seventeen and under and the second flight saw fourth place taken by Larry Slattery, on countback from Jim Ferris, with 35 points. One point ahead in third was Stan Stewart, himself a single point off runner-up Tony Browne, with 37 points.

The winner of a tight flight was Irish golfer Derek Phillips with a well deserved 38 points.

In the top flight Plus handicapper Brendan McGovern’s gross 73 was not enough to garner points for the placings as fourth place went to German golfer Julian Preisinger with 35 points, losing out on countback to third placed golfer Pat Lavin. In second was Kevin Rogers, again on 35 points his back nine beating his two friendly rivals.

The flight winner and recipient of the green jacket was Les Cobban with 39 points.

There were near pins for Les Cobban (4), Paul Smith (7 and 13) and Jim Ferris (17).

At the “wrong” end of the leaderboard the wig went to Guy Stewart whilst the silly hat looked dangerously comfortable on the head of Ian Mollard after his poorest nine hole score. However it was Ian’s first round back with the group and his ambitions will be set higher next round.

Pattavia continues to be a testing course which many golfers enjoy.
