| Pattaya Sports Club 12th Charity Classic 2008 |
|
The Charity Classic provides the largest single influx of Charity Funds of the Year, and for Months in advance the Golf Chairman and his Committee beaver away to twist arms and find volunteers to give generously. This is usually not really difficult as all who live here realise how important the amount we give is to some poor soul. The harder the Committee work the more they provide, and although in the present financial climate the situation this year has been daunting
|
|
still at least a Half Million Baht was raised. This money along with our normal Charity works will be distributed to the poor and needy by our Charity Chairman, Bernie Tuppin.
This day therefore was the culmination of a tremendous amount of time put in by Golf Chairman, Tony Oakes, and his helpers, mainly Perry, Nigel, Tim, Bernie and Dennis The President, and too many others in the trenches to mention, but special mention must go to out Major Sponsors, Baltex, Bauer, Seadrill, Joe St Laurent and Diamond Dave, we will mention others later. So let us play the game.
After all the hard work of the last few Months, the actual day is sometimes a bit of an anti-climax for those that organise it, but as Tony said, this day was exceptional because all were ahead of the game. So when we arrived all was planned and all the 'Gimmees' were given out very smoothly, all the players were booked in, all knew where they were to tee off and they moved smoothly to their allotted tees.
The day was to be a shot gun start at 10 O'Clock, and the scoring was to be best three Stableford scores out of the four players in a team at each hole. One of the 'Amusing' things was that the hooter, called a shotgun, actually went three times, each time just as the player was about to swing. All went well as he hit his tee shot well.
So at last after all the planning the day was underway. Here I must say that the Course was in fine condition, with all aspects of the Course at their best. This is normally a tough Course, and so it was on this day, but poor play could not be put down to the condition of the Course. It was just bad play.
