Nine groups set off to Bang Pakong to take advantage of the 1,750 baht bargain that Bang Pakong have until the end of March in conjunction with PSC. Its an offer which we intend to take full advantage of.
Scores in the 40`s are quite common at Bang Pakong but today, with a strong wind blowing, Bang Pakong bit back. We played 2 flights today with 0 – 16 being `A` flight and 17+ being `B`. Of the 34 players, only 1 managed to beat the par of 36 points. John Coetzee was runner-up for our 2024 Club Championship and if he plays like he did today, no one would bet against him going one better. Halves of 20 and 18 saw him head the field. The other podium places for `B` flight went to Mike Babb, Ian Docherty and Lee Smith. Auden Jensen headed `A` flight with 36 and in doing so, stopped the winning run of Stu Kidd who won our previous 2 events. Stu birdied the last hole to come home with 35 and claim the runners up position for `A`. The remaining places went to Terry Dreier and Steve Mabbett.
A special word of thanks must go to the staff of Bang Pakong for accommodating us and ensuring that all our groups got off on time. The course was in tremendous condition with the strong wind making it a completely different challenge.
Just as a quick reminder, our Club Championship commences at Pleasant Valley on 28th November. The format is the same as last year with the best 3 rounds out of 4 determining the winner. Round 2 will be at Bang Pakong, round 3 at Pattavia with the final round at Greenwood.
