Pattana (Stableford) This was one of those weird days when some of the players were involved in Matchplay and the rest played the Competition. Both were played at Pattana with the Competition going off first as Matchplay does tend to be a little slower. The Course on the day was in good condition and we played the B & C Nines, however there was a strong wind that blew many of the players all over the place. The greens were also difficult on the day, with the wind, and proved unpredictable, at least that is my excuse.
Back at Bert's all the players congregated and thanks go to Pu for providing food for all the golfers.
We will not go too deeply into the Matchplay, I am certain it will be reported on in depth elsewhere, suffice to say, The Outback 4. Tropical Bert's 3, however a good night was had by all at Bert's.
The Competition also went well except with the wet conditions carts were not allowed on the fairways. This obviously caused some difficulty as apart from one score, the rest were mediocre to say the least. So the winner with 36 points was Neil Skilton with Mark Brenton coming second with 28 points on countback over Al Laurie. T.T.F.N.
