Udon Golf Report - Ubolratana Dam 25th Oct 2013

Good roll-up of 13 players for our regular Friday round. Weather great, in fact a touch cool but perfect to play a round of golf in. We had a few guests which was terrific as always nice to see new faces who most times decide to join us if they are residing ion Udon Thani.

Format was Stableford Sixes to enable more players to share in the” huge” prize pool.

Winners of the Sixes were David Exley 14 points - Cliff Saveall 14 points and Scotty 12 points

Graham continued his super form with 39 points to win Overall. Closest to the Pin on par 3 holes 12 & 14 went to Graham Firth and Terry Aston.

Terry introduced a Charity plea to the group and asked if they would be prepared to put 20 baht each into our huge Babies bottle to gather funds for 2014 to provide to those less fortunate.

A couple of members suggested jokingly they were in that category. Thankfully all members were positive in helping out. Minor upset with a well-known Kohn Kaen Golfing identity spoiled the day a touch for one of our groups. So important for us all to adhere to correct Golf etiquette which disappointedly this person seems to have little of.

Weather early had threatened to keep us from playing but thankfully it turned out to be a super day with only the fairways being a touch wet having any impact on our games.

Nine of us rolled up including Chuck Mc Cormick and Cliff Saveall who have just returned back from the USA an UK and not playing. We formed into three groups and teed off around 8 30 behind a very slow Thai four ball.

Although we were held up a touch it still proved to be a pleasant round with lots of banter. Had lunch after the round and the mood was most positive even though the scores were not overall.

Closest to the Pin went to Peter Hellery on the Par 3 14th.

Terry Aston with 35 points won the day with Cliff Saveall in second place with 31 points.

Scores Terry Aston 35,Cliff Saveall 31,Peter Hellery 29,Tony Jones 28 Trevor Edge 25,John Ward 24, John Cooke and David Exley 21, Chuck Mc Cormick 17.

Next week IFGG 21st - 22nd October round at Ubolrat 9am tee off and then Tuesday at Singha 8 30am tee off.

Udon Golf Report - Ubolratana Dam 6th Sept 2013

Seven of us teed off yesterday at Ubolrat even though we discovered on arriving that they had a Tournament in progress. The Ubolrat staff though was most cooperative and put us on the 10th tee to avoid the players already on the course in the tournament. With one exception the round after that was clear sailing which was surprising.

Gary Parks made a triumphant return to the group in recording a 34 points win off his 8 handicap. It was great to see him playing so well after such a long layoff this year. John Ward 32, Peter Hellery 30 were the only other respectable scores among the group which to a few of us was a forgettable round.

Scorers: - Sixes Winners - 1st John Ward - 2nd Terry Aston - 3rd Gary Parks
