Celebration Beer on Good Friday

The Pattaya Links Golf Society ended its most successful high season ever with a visit to Eastern Star on Friday, 30th March, with twenty-nine golfers set on enjoying a day’s golf on one of the most challenging courses in the area.

Eastern Star did not disappoint as a hot and humid day was spent grappling with hard fairways and quick greens in a strong breeze which brought the ubiquitous OB and water into play.

The field was divided into two flights at sixteen and under and scores were moderate only, in line with the averages over the last decade or so.

In the second flight Troon’s Billy Hill again enjoyed a good round finishing in third place with 31 points. Second place went to Martin Patch with 34 points whilst competition debutant Mike Tottenham won his spurs with a fine round of 35 points.

The top flight contained some quality golfers and Jon Batty, playing off six set the best gross standard for the day with his score of 34 points giving him third place. The runner-up was Maurice Roberts with a splendid 35 points.

The best points score of the day was recorded by Marco Beer on his return, and he fired 36 points to take the green jacket.

Near pins went to Russell Exley, Colin Smith, John Chelo and Mike Tottenham whilst the consolation winners were Jon Dean (best front nine, 17 points) and again Derek Phillips (best back nine, 19 points).
