Update on Hau Hin Tour - 26th to 29th September 2013




Hua Hin Tour. 26th to 29th September. 12 Players now confirmed. Full up. We will be playing a 2 day competition for the monthly trophy, with the second round being played on the great Black Mountain course.

Great news we are full up. Edwin Raspe, a jovial Dutchman will be joining us (a regular Sunday WIGS player) to complete the party. Hans finally succumbed to the golf attractions of Hua Hin.!!


As a result we will now be having a 2 day combined stableford competition on the first 2 days, also for the September trophy, and the third day will be a 4 ball scramble.



Full details and prizes will follow nearer the time. 



Important point. For those who haven't paid in full, THE BALANCE OF 1060 RM IS REQUIRED BY TUESDAY 10 TH SEPTEMBER.



Looking forwards to a successful and happy tour.

Results - Staffield Golf Resort - 27th August 2013


Report


Staffield was in excellent condition and the conditions very pleasant, for the trophy game. After 2 gentlemen having GPS trouble...!! we teed off a little late on the Northern and Southern 9's.


The winner was Graham Cadman with 93 for 41 points, cut 5, with Barry Cousins second with 100 for 40 points. Cut 1. Graham's win was in spite of a no score on his 18th hole, mumbling about h/cap protection for the tour…. Full scores attached.



Big day for Tony as it was his 300th game, for LCs. He took the trouble of checking out the restaurant in Mantin to discover it was closed. As a result we ate at the Peppers restaurant at the club and had a good value meal. Tony generously donated a ringgit for each of his games played.



The wine prize as offered by Erol will be decided next week as the last of the 4 games required will be played at Bukit Kemuning. Remember best (3 out of 4 ) combined stableford scores.

Report


After the heavy rain on Monday, the challenging course played very long, with no run on the fairways and slow, spongy greens . The scores reflected the conditions with only 4 players breaking the 100. After recently playing in Dubai, Jeff Pearce fitted us in to his busy  schedule, and won with an excellent 90 for 40 points. Cut 4. Ray Funnell was second with 99 for 38 points. Cut 1. Ted Parslow had the lowest gross of 84. Full results were:
