The Growling Swan 21/11
Khao Kheow –Stableford
21st of November 2016.
Steve brakes the drought with a clean win!
We had 20 eager punters lining up at Soi Chaiyapoon to take on the not so easy but great conditioned course being Khao Kheow CC. Allocated the B & C nines in that order and hitting from the yellow tees in warm weather with a sometimes breeze, the course was found to be in superb condition with the greens putting truly.
We ran with 2 flights today, in A grade Steve Younger showed that the easiest way to win was not get caught up in a count back. His 36 points saw him a shot clear of both JJ Harney and Mashi Kaneta with both going to The Count Back to settle placings.
B grade saw Pat Kavanagh coming up trumps with a tidy 36 points. Followed by Mike Strage 1 point behind and Frank Riley a further 3 points behind..
