A select group of golfers representing Cambodia and a visiting team from Vietnam battled it out for the prestigious Indochine Cup here at Angkor Golf Resort (19th – 21st Sept).
Based loosely on the Ryder Cup format the teams attracted 12 golfers each to play over 3 days with the format of each day changing from Fourball, Foursomes to the final day being singles.
An experienced team from Vietnam captained by Stan (Saigon Stan) Kinnear ran out easy winners over the three days with a resounding 10.5 points to Cambodia’s 5.5 points. The game was played in great sportsmanship with the emphasis on friendship and socializing.
Sponsors Tiger beer and Coca Cola were on hand to ensure the golfer did not go thirsty and special thanks must go to them for their support in golf.
The course was in splendid condition with Jim Gubricky and his team ensuring the greens were running true and with a stimpmeter of 9.5. The sudden deluge of rain on the first day did not dampen the mood of the golfers and play continued with the golf course having drained any residual water.
Event organisers IGE are keen to develop this further with a possible rematch set to include other Asian countries wishing to join.
