PATTAYA LINKS SOCIETY-WEDNESDAY OCTOBE 03,2018
Practice Makes Perfect for Jim Ferris
As we gathered at the first tee I said to Jim Ferris “ I hope all that practice we did yesterday works for us”. For Jim it certainly did work as he stretched the field scoring a great 39 points on a difficult track.
Bangpra had been on our list a couple of times in recent months but got the bump in favour of the special price on offer at Laem Chabang.
Now it was Bangpra with a special of 700 bht green fee on Mondays and Wednesdays for October.
It was a nice surprise to find the course in such good condition. They have had their problems at times, but today we had well grassed fairways and greens getting back to the “old days’. The rough, however, is thick grass and unforgiving. Even trying to spot the ball in it was a task, then you had to hit out.
Carts were allowed on the fairways so it was “play it as it lies”. However, overnight rain at the course did leave the fairways quite muddy in places, particularly the back nine, but we all played the same course.
The weather started with a nice breeze, then turned hot before the dark clouds started to gather. Happily for the golfers, it did not rain at Bangpra, but we found a very wet Pattaya upon our return to the Links Bar.
With 22 players in the comp (a 23rd not in the comp), prizes were for one flight, four places.
Coming in second behind Jim was a well played 36 points from Bill Copeland, followed by his USA countryman, Chris Barker, scoring 32 points to win a countback over Darren Beavers, in amongst it again.
As there were only four places John Pierrel, who also had 32 points, just missed, because his back nine was short of the other two.
John’s front nine of 18 points was better than anyone else though.
Phil Davies was the pick of the best back nine, beating Masa Takano on a countback.

Near pins: Jim Ferris (2), Takeshi Hakozaki (8), Chris Barker (12) Derek Phillips (17)

Winner …………..Jim Ferris (22)…………….39 pts
2nd Place…………..Bill Copeland (15)………..36 pts
3rd Place…………..Chris Barker (12)…………32 pts c/back
4th Place…………..Darren Beavers (21)……….32 pts c/back

Best Front Nine (non winners)………John Pierrel………18 pts
Best Back Nine (non winners)………Phil Davies……….17 pts c/back

Keith Melbourne reckons the only way to have his photo taken is to wear something on his head. Today he wore the “silly hat” for the lowest score on either nine.
After Phil recited a long story about Wayne Peppernell whilst holding the “wig” very close, Wayne was resigned to the fact. But, as he tends to do, Phil pulled away and headed to Robbie Keogh. Nice combo, that white hat on the wig.
Footnote: In case you wonder, The practice session did more for Jim than for me.
