Green Valley
Another good turnout for a Sunday at green Valley, the course looking good ready for next weeks Singha Championship. Starting on time all groups got away quickly, a bit too quick as it turned out when we got to the 2nd tee there were 4 groups on the same hole, This slowly stretched it’s self out with the only wait’s on the par 3’s. peter Lenoury & Tony Fay playing together both birdied the 1st, 4 points each and one can only go downhill from there and so it did. Peter pulled it back to turn in 21 pts but it slipped away again. All the best scores were in B flight with Francis Bathurt coming out on top with 43 pts. 23 on the front and 20 pts back with no blob’s, Gary Emmett had a solid 20 pts each side beating Stan smith on countback on the last 3 holes. Francis playing partner J.P. Maffray managed to steal 1st place in A flt with 35 pts with Fred Birch having one of the many 34 pts along with the luckless Peter Lenoury.
The near pins were claimed by Francis Bathurt, John Deardon, Aidan Murray & Ian Pickles & the Long Putt by Tony Fay

14 players today for greenwood at the reduced rate of 650 bht green fee, No hitches with the travel apart from the Donkey forgeting his change of clothes so it was a smelly return trip. The 1st group out mogens Jensen, Torben Lindgaard, Tony Fay & Stan Smith and they set the pace and the scoring for the rest of the field, Mogen’s on a mission spent the whole of the weekend watching the golf channel and it certainly paid off 42 pts & Stan Smith not far behind with 40 pts. The next group Stuart Brown, Asger Levin, Barry Oats & Dave Nicolson. Barry was the best of this group with 35 pts. Then the 3 ball of Alistair Gall, Pete Shaw & Per Aschant, Alistair and Pete Battled it out in a tight match with Pete 39pts and Alistair 38pts with a near pin each and Alistair with the long putt. The final groupof the Donkey Neil Smith & Nigel Harrison. It was Neils birthday today but the others were in no mood to give him anything, He took the front with 20 pts but the other two battled back to share the back nine to leave Neil with just small change for his birthday party.

Just 6 out today , the low season starting early, So 2 groups of 3, out 1st Asger Levin, Nigel Harrison & the Donkey. The big hitting Asger on his last game before going home to put his arm up the back end of a cow determined to put on a good show, But it was the donkey who showed a clean pair of heels with 22 pts on the front to Asger’s 20 pts but the Donkey got pipped on the post by Nigel getting 4 pts on the ninth for 23 pts. Then on the back it was disaster at the start for everyone with all messing up the tee shots, But Asger with 3 off the tee putting it 100 yds from the green and a gap wedge to the back of the green and knocking in the putt for an easy par, This spured him on to finish with another 20 pts on the back, The Donkey and Nigel both slipped back with the Donkey16 pts with 3 blobs & Nigel 15 pts and 2 blobs to both finish on 38 pts. The next group john Harrison,Paul West & Mogen’s Jensen all struggled with John 32 pts,Paul 31 pts & Mogen’s 30 pts. The course was in excellent condition and with no one in front we finished in 3 hrs 15 mins
!st Asger Levin (15) 40 pts
2nd Colin Davis (23) 38 pts
