Monday, 16th July Crystal Bay, B & A Stableford. The Growling Swan was “buzzing” this Monday morning as our biggest field so far of 28 golfers prepared for the trip down Sukhumvit to the ever popular Crystal Bay Golf Course. Peter Grey & Andrew Allen were “chomping at the bit” as this was to be their first ever game with an official handicap and their main objective of the day was to avoid winning the now famous Compass Cap. We had 4 golfers playing without official handicaps so once more the Callaway Scoring System was used for them and they were allocated a grade of their own. In addition there were 2 grades with A Grade for handicaps of 0 to 18 and B Grade for handicaps of 19 and over. Playing on his “home Course” Takeshi Hakozaki once again took out first place in A Grade with a fine 41 points, 3 points ahead of yours truly in second place. In a count back for third & fourth spots with 2 golfers on 37 points Bob Akapita (21 points on B9) finished just ahead of Mike Gosden (20 points on B9). In B Grade last start Compass Cap winner Jerry Dobbs went from boiled lollies to chocolates and won with 35 points and Graham Buckingham finished second with 32 points. In another count back for third & fourth spots with both on 31 points, Bernie McCart (18 points on B9) just pipped Max Bracegirdle (14 points on B9). Peter Blackburn.
