Thursday, 14^th August, to play a Stableford competition and found the club preoccupied with a later starting "in-house" tournament. The group were given the B/C combination and found the starting B nine in excellent condition with good fast greens. A notice had earlier been espied in the clubhouse informing that the C nine was closed and when starting the back nine it was obvious that the club had opened it only for our group, so as not to disrupt anything the other tournament had in mind. Thus we had to contend with nine holes which were under repair with cored and sanded greens and even the drinks kiosks were locked and unattended. Nobody was available afterwards to give an explanation and once again it shows how fickle local management can be in dealing with farang golfers who are charged more than locals for the pleasure. It preoccupied the golfers’ thoughts at the presentation when they were also celebrating Chris Voller's first success as the Society's "Player of the Month" after some fine individual performances throughout July. The results were: in third place Bill Hewitt with 32 points, in second Keith Hector with 34 and the winner was Jean Morel with 36. The rolled over twos pot was won by Bill Hewitt for his effort on B2.

Chris Voller savours the moment as he is presented with his first "Player of the Month" trophy by Mr. Denis
