Day 1 - Thai Country Club - Day 2 Pattana Golf and Country Club

For the first time on tour we added a 4BBB event known as "The Sabai Cup". The hotel we stay in donated the trophy as well as 4 nights accommodation to each of the winning pair to come back and defend the trophy. The event was played at Thai Country Club in Bangkok one day and Pattana Golf and Country Club the other day. Over the two days, Shaun and Daryl kept the wolves at bay and won the inaugral event with 85 points which sees their name go on the trophy first.

Day 1 - Golf Course - Greenwood - Winner - Denver Da Zilwa - 40 Points

As a regular visitor to Thailand, its to be expected that if you know the courses, then you should play well, Denver has been on 4 tours now and finds the winners circle early in the tour and loses a shot for his win. Paul "Two Caddies" Gover continues on his good form from the Chiangmai tour with a solid 37 points to take second place

Day 2 - Golf Course - Khao Kheow - Winner - Geoff Harrison- 38 Points

Geoff Harrison has been a regular on tour with us and is a previous tour winner. His 38 points sends a clear message to the field that he wont be up to his usual drinking and having late nights with the boys and is keen for the prize. Khao Kheow is a Pete Dye design where island greens and trecherous bunkers are the norm. His 38 points won on a countback from Graeme "Fire" Flanagan, who after 40 rounds of golf manages his first birdie in thailand, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A CHIP IN !!

Day 3 - Golf Course - Burapha- Winner - Daryl Mahoney- 42 Points

After a hot tip from the driving range the day prior, Daryl comes out with his 3/4, 80% power swing and tackles the difficult Burapha layout with a fantastic 42 points. The greens staff were getting the course ready for the Pattaya Singha Open an event on the Asian PGA Tour played the next week. So as you can imagine the greens were quick and the rough was so deep, some players lost their caddies !! His Sabai Cup partner Shaun has 38 points which would normally be a winning score is relegated to second position. Shaun was also a benificator of some hot tips from the driving range too !! Just remember whose giving you the good advice boys.

Day 4 - Golf Course - Laem Chabang - Winner -Scott "Bluey" Miller- 32 Points

After 4 days of mediocre golf, Scotty step into the winners circle on a difficult day when we had a rain delay. Laem Chabang is a Jack Nicklaus design and for all the slicers, he puts all the trouble on the right hand side. 32 points on this day was enough to sneak away with the money and to take a nice prize home. Geoff Harrison was beaten on a countback and collected money for his second placing.

Day 5 - Golf Course - Phoenix - Winner - Graeme "Shot Gibbo" Gibson - 39 Points

"Shot Gibbo' had a small incident with his driver and the shaft broke earlier in the week. After a quick visit to the local golf shop "Pattaya City Golf', we got a new shaft put in overnight and it seemed that the driver had given him an extra 20 yards. Graeme whips around this great layout in 39 points, to take top honours in the last round of the tournament. This round should be enough to see him come back again.

His fellow golfing buddy from Victoria, Denver had 38 points in the last round which saw him take second place for the day but more importantly saw him bypass Shaun and Daryl to take the top spot for the tour.

WELL DONE DENVER
