Watts Has the Power at Pattavia

The final week of January started with a visit to Pattavia as the Pattaya Links Golf Society took another large field to the testing course for a stableford competition on a course which never fails to impress with its well maintained fairways and bunkers and challenging greens.

The field was divided into three flights with the cuts coming at 15 and 20 and the day stayed fine for the most part except for a spitefully sharp shower that caught out the last two groups on the 17^th and 18^th. and which wiped out a near pin prize and made “maché” of a few cards.

The 18^th green became a lake and after 4 attempts to get his ball to the hole through the water, Maurice decided that kicking the ball might work, it didn’t!

Conditions were favourable for good scoring otherwise and in the third flight Mike Wilsher drifted off the pace towards the end, losing second place on countback to Helene Lindberg’s 33 points on her final round this trip.

The flight winner was Irishman Larry Slattery with 35 points.

In the top flight Chris Barker’s solid 35 points was enough to edge Bob Watson out of third place, leaving Ray Banks second on 36 and Wayne Peppernell again made his presence felt with a well crafted 38 points taking the win.

The second flight saw the best scores of the day with Tony Browne holding down third place with 36 points, a couple behind second placed Mashi Kaneta.

The flight winner with an excellent 42 points was Simon Watts whose golf was obviously quite electric!

Near pins went to Chris Barker, Mashi Kaneta and Masaaki Sugaya.

The consolation prizes went to Phil Davies for his excellent front nine total of 22 points and Maurice Roberts for his back nine haul of twenty points.

Bobby Shirkey had the pleasure of his debut wig win.
