Update 24 October

I found out that Royal were having a Pro Comp on the Thursday and they were going to slot us in between their groups so that was no good. I had to arrange to swap the Royal booking to the Tuesday and the Lanna booking to the Thursday with Lamphun remaining on the Wednesday. So that is it, the vouchers have been purchased from Royal and deposits paid at Lamphun.

These are the new venues and tee-off times:

Tuesday 6 Nov Royal tee-off 11:24am Match Play Pairs.
Wednesday 7 Nov Lamphun tee-off 9:30am Texas Scramble Social Event
Thursday 8 Nov Lanna tee-off 9:30 am Match Play Singles

There will be a meet and greet in the NUMBER ONE PUB on Monday night 5pm when we will draw teams for the Wednesday Texas Scramble. Also to finalise any details for the other events, be there to support your club.

Update 18 October

Whoops, I spoke too soon, the venues are not finalised. Unfortunately Highlands decided to put up their fee over 1400 baht so we are looking for a course for the third days play. Royal have a deal on for Nov if you buy a book of 10 vouchers it is 1000 baht including caddy each, if I can get Issan mob to send me the money we may go there, otherwise it may be a second game on the Lamphun course. I am waiting on a reply from the Issan mob.

Update 14 October

The venues are now finalised and are as follows:

Day 1 Nov 6 Lanna 0830 Singles Match Play

Day 2 Nov 7 CMLamphun 0930 Social 4ball event

Day 3 Nov 8 Highlands 0930 Doubles Match Play

All the above bookings are for 32 golfers, if you intend to play on the day and are not on the team and have not advised us please do so ASAP

Handicaps:
Singles match play is played of full difference of handicaps, i.e. a 12 handicapper receives 5 shots from a 7 handicapper.

Four Ball better-ball match play is played off 3/4 of difference from lowest handicapper in group. So if you have player A with a 10 handicap, B with 13, C with 18 and D with 22, then A gets no shots, B gets 2, C gets 6 and D gets 9. C's shots are taken at the hole with index 1-6 etc.
A better-ball pairs competition is played off 3/4 of normal handicap. i.e if 2 players in a team play their own ball, and only the best score on each hole counts, they both play off 3/4 of their normal handicap.
In foursomes where 2 players play alternate shots with one ball, the normal allowance is 1/2 of their two combined handicaps.

Rules for the social 4b are the same as our 4b comp. Person whose drive is counted does not get a second shot (except on par 3) and all players must hit a set number of drives.

So far I have had offers to assist with transport from Malcolm, Scott, Ron, Colin, Yung & Les

Please pay your green fee for the social day by the 23 Oct so I can pay the deposit to confirm the booking.

More info on the Prizes and Presentation will be forthcoming
