Monday The 11th February 2008:  Plutaluang ( Stableford) The Plutaluang South and East Nines were The Venue for a Stableford Competition in Two Flights. A Flight 0 to 18 and B Flight 19 up. The weather on the day was drizzle at the start and 'Sauna Conditions on the last 8 holes. The Course on the day was in tidy condition and busy, but we had no holdups.

 Doug Good won the A Flight with 35 points on a countback over Richard Kubicki in second. Bruce Lawrence was in third with 34 points with Maurice Herberge in fourth with 33 points.

 Dane Leif Kirkegaarde won the B Flight, doubling his handicap of 24, with 48 points. We do not get a player with this many points very often, so well done to him and welcome to being a much lower handicapper. Svend Gaard was in second with 35 points with Graham Buckingham in third with 34 points and Hugh O'Donnel in fourth with 32 points on countback over Peter Hammond.

We had a full house of 40 people for this day out and all were hoping to play a good round at this tough Course. The test for the day was to be the B & C Nines, which were in really fine condition, and the wind which blows constantly here was down to a breeze, so all was set for the players to destroy the Course, especially Leif who had shot 48 points on Monday. Of course they, and he, didn't.

 Sat in the restaurant as the scores came, it was seen it was the same old story, Course 40, Kronborg 0, mind we could in a honour claim a half points I suppose as one players shot his handicap, but it would destroy the effect.

 So in the A Division 0 to 19 we had a winner who actually shot his handicap,  Finn Olsen won with 36 points ahead of Doug Good in second with 34 points. In third was Derek Brook with 33 points and in fourth was Richard Kubicki with 32 points.

 In the B Division they seemed to start where the A Division left off as Tom Cotton won with 32 points ahead of Carole Kubicki in second with 31 points. In third was Svend Gaarde with 30 points and Hugh O'Donnell was in fourth with 29 points.

 So once again the Course won, however it has to be said that you only need to score enough points to win, and when you play this Course you are always aware that if you score your handicap you are in with a chance to win. You also know that if you keep going and do not collapse there is always a chance. At some Courses score 38 points and you do not know if you had a good round, score 36 points here and you know it is a fine score. Leif after his 48 points on Monday obviously was not in the winning circle, by some distance, funny game this golf!!!!.
