Another good turnout (10 groups 39 golfers) in hot/humid weather but thankfully no rain. The course was in excellent condition with fast but true greens. Most people were there nice and early and with no one else on the course we could have teed off early. With 5 groups each playing off Tee 1 & 10 the majority agreed that the back nine was the hardest, however some enjoyed considerable success, especially new member Nee scoring a 'hole in one' and Gary Lyon nearly repeating his 'hole in one' effort on the same hole as last year (was it an inch or a yard?) as well as a rumour flying around the course that Ram Taylor had also holed out but this turned out to be just a 'birdie'. Of course there were some horror stories as well with several people hitting the wrong ball and suffering resultant penalties not to mention a ball stuck up a tree and another 'never say die' golfer taking a mud bath. A problem arose with the 'nearest the pin' markers when one person forgot to put the marker out on the front 9 and another marker being removed after the 'hole in one' (not in the tournament) on the back nine - so the committee decided to have four 'nearest the pin' prizes in the next round at maejo.
There were some great scores on the day with the winners being Kieran & Phyllis who both killed the course with Net 69/39 points and placings for Ram T 36pts and Steve J 35pts along with a few honourable mentions Mr.B 34pts, Guy, Ben & Lennart 33pts. Congratulations go to all and commiserations to the rest.
It must be said that while the course and facilities were in excellent condition the meal after the game left a lot to be desired and the committee will have to consider if this is worth while in the future.
