THE GROWLING SWAN- CRYSTAL BAY G.C. – 27th SEPTEMBER, 2018.
“TAKE IT EASY”, “SEPTEMBER ‘18” MONTHLY MUG!
STROKE EVENT.
“Again it was the Inspector that took The Mug – Patrick Poussier.”

A very disappointing field that was to set out to have a crack at this month’s Monthly Mug. Certainly no disrespect to those that set about the challenge of that Coveted Mug!
All had arrived on time and the bus got away earlier than the scheduled time of departure. Crystal Bay was the place to be for today’s event. In all the years that we have played golf from this bar, and my involvement, today I have to say will be the worst report that I have written for this course. I received more complaints about Crystal Bay than I have for courses over the last 6 months! Come on guys get your act together we support you guys now it’s time to support us!
I have a couple of questions for The Pattaya Sports Club.
1. Does anybody at The PSC read our reports?
2. If yes does anybody do follow ups on questions asked of the courses?
I personally have never received any feedback regarding reports written, or questions asked!
Back to the report the course was in sub-standard condition, fairways had been mowed whilst wet leaving clumps of mud with little grass if any on parts of the fairways. Greens had been cored making putting near impossible. Generally speaking it was not in the condition that we are used to playing on at this course! We played B & C nines from the white tees.
With a small field we played One Division with three placing’s with all novelties in play.
It was Patrick Poussier that hit the Club House with the best score his net 70 round gave him First Spot 2 strokes clear from his next rival. Second home was Mashi Kaneta with Glenn Henriksen filling the last spot on the podium!
