You there boy!, tuck your shirt in and belly up to the back markers!. Lighthouse were at Suprapruek for the monthly staple ford competition and leaky skin test! Boy was it hot, how hot?...I had to wring out my undies twice in the front nine!...and wrinkled undies play havoc my long game!
 
We had nineteen golfers start and lost Gary Mc Pherson to heat or heart trouble on the 10 hole, actually he had just 5 putted the 10th and had the good sense to collapse on his caddie and be carried in! The good doctor Heineken was on hand and after several cans Gary as Unfit enough to drive home!
 
It was a stable ford competition from the yellow tee's and heat, rain, and damp undies all added up to a very poor showing for most of us. Audel, thinking it was a stroke play competition arrived late and started from the fourth hole hoping that a few less holes would put him in contention...that boys got initiative!...shame about staple ford format needing more points not less strokes!!... I played the 19th at Suprapruek and still didn't break 30! Crocodile Cain moaned about the long tee's, long grass, no run, speed of the greens, and just about everything else but still managed to get his name on a few near pins and briefly on the long drive!
 
Prizes;
 
Bell Water must be cleaning out the 2003 closet or Keith's briefcase for they came up with not one but two boxes of balls, thanks, and hard little balls they are too!!!, just kidding!
 
Near Pin:
 
Hole 2: Tony moany Cain, well done
Hole 6: Virgin Flag! (that's right no one won the million dollar trophy!)
Hole 14:     Audel Delphanis, well done
Hole 16:    Darren Bates, (final round in Thailand...except for cowboy last night!)
 
Long Drive: Khun Tee, (we did have the storm front just behind us but this was still a big tonk!)
 
Winners.
 
Without Steve Harle to hurl drinks down his throat, Danny Doolan was sober by the 18th and also in 2nd place with 33 points. Well done, (It allot easier when you've only got one set of numbers to add up eh!) But the winner; front runner from the first tee and still complaining about the length of the course; (from where I played it was the width that was hell!), Tony Cain carded 35 points and a solid win. Scoff all you want but that's a good result on the day...in fact you could probably cut his handicap for that result!
 
The million dollar prize was never in any serious danger, and survived to to increase to a tidy pot of THB.3,100.00 for next month. That should bring out a few sharks!!!
 
Thanks to all who played and to our new members, Peter Bell and David Watkinson.
Next month we are at Bangsai on June 12th at 8.15am for a stroke play competition! Look forward to seeing more players and bring yer gel pack undies!
