PATTAYA LINKS GOLF SOCIETY-GREENWOOD-FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 21ST,2018.
Marshall Double at Greenwood
The Pattaya Links Golf Society ended the week with a visit to Greenwood to play a stableford competition on the C and A nines. Following the rain the evening before the course was soft and spongy in places, especially just short of the greens, which were surprisingly hard, especially on the A nine. Lift and place was invoked as a result.

A field of twenty-six golfers made it to the tee and all got away in good time. The lack of any breeze and run made the course play long and the extreme heat on a very still day caught many golfers out and their rounds wilted early.

As usual at Greenwood the low markers tend have their day with the long par threes and some of the longer par fours. Today was no exception. The two flights were cut at fifteen.

In the second flight Garry Hookey managed third place with 32 points, ahead of second placed Derek Phillips with 34 points and Wayne Peppernell took the win with 35 points.

The top flight saw Wednesday’s winner Tommy Marshall make it a double with another fine round of 38 points. A plethora of golfers on 37 points suffered countback to decide the minor placings and it resulted in Kevin Rogers taking second and Pete Seil making third.

Consolation prizes went to Chris Barker for his front nine of 19 points and Maurice Roberts for his back nine of 16 points.

Near pins went to the long hitters, as expected, leaving Tommy Marshall (A2), Paul Smith (A6), Pete Seil (C3) and Takeshi Hakozaki (C6) all with the “wherewithall” for a celebratory beer.

In the absence of the flu-laden Mr Phil his slightly more diminutive compatriot Mr Len handled the presentation and in due deference to the sick and infirm held back the wig and silly hat until next week, when, of course the big man may be eligible again!
