BURAPHA
Monday 5th May

This was Jack's birthday bash and contrary to what Capt' Bob says, he hasn't reached 60.....yet! The event was well supported in spite of the holiday rates with some 37 Outbackers taking part. The field was split into three divisions and played from the blue tees on the A & B nines. The overall winner was awarded the Outbacker Birthday Cup (yet to be purchased) and that went to Badger, with a fine 36 points (20 on the back nine). Elsewhere, the scores were pretty low with Rosco taking Div B with 31 pts and the surprise winner of Div C, Barry Rothberg with 33 pts.
The Outbacker Birthday Cup was inspired by Frank O'Neill and can be played for anytime of the year, whenever an Outbacker wishes to sponsor his or her birthday. A sponsor and winners board will be erected at the bar in the very near future. Please contact Bob or Jack if you wish to celebrate your birthday with fellow golfers.

A total of 37 golfers played today divided into 3 divisions

The results as follows:-

The overall winner, and the winner of the Outbacker Birthday Cup was Phil Barnsley with 36 points playing off a handicap of 17

PHOENIX
Tuesday 6th May

Twelve Outbackers made the early start this week to play this wonderful course. It is truly a beautiful course this time of the year and there is no doubt, early is the time to play it. Another brisk walk and back by 12.30, that's golf at it's best. The scores were not the greatest but Nick 'nicked it' from Norm on countback and Nigel Cannon filled the 3rd place with a credible 32 points.

	A total of 12 golfers played today in one division

KHAO KHEOW
Wednesday 7th May

Kathy Doody & Mam Morel saw off the men in both divisions at Khao Kheow. The result, of course, reignited the usual grumbles about ladies playing in the same divisions as the men. However, although Kathy took Div A by three, she did not beat her handicap and had any of her male competitors shot their handicap, they would have won! Come on guys, you'll just have to play better and stop whingeing! Mam played extremely well for her 38 points and fully deserved the win.

B & C nines are rated at 68.6 for the ladies with a slope of 116 from the red tee, whilst the yellow tee for the men is rated at 70.5 with a slope of 119. Perhaps the whingers would like two courtesy shots!

	A total of 26 golfers played today divided into 2 divisions
	The results as follows:-
	Div A (0 - 19)					Div B (20+)

PLUTALUANG
Friday 9th May

Oh we went down south to the Navy course singing Polly Wolly "Doody" all the day. Kathy & Geoff Doody took control of the B division playing the South & East courses. On top of their success today, they have, between them this week, collected another win, a third place and 2 'twos'. Apparently Geoff also played some pretty good stuff at Green Valley on Sunday.

The A division went to one of Capt' Bob's aussie mates, Ian Moore, who had literally just arrived hot foot from the airport. Strangely enough, since the taxi had to wait for him to play, the driver played as well and came fourth. Well played Rang! Bob 3 was also here on a brief visit and played well for his 37 points and welcome back to Harvey who took third with a steady 36.

	A total of 30 golfers played today divided into 2 divisions
