Annual Tournament - Match 3 - Maejo October 30, 2012:


Today we had (39) members and (3) guests teeing off at Maejo for round (3) of the 2012 Annual tournament. Again, everyone showed up on time so we teed-off on schedule at 8:30 AM on Tee Boxes 1 and 10. The weather was on the hot side with slight breezes occasionally so that it was not unbearable. Also, the starters at Maejo did a good job and most of all our groups completed there respective round in approximately (4) hours.

Concerning the golf scores again the "System 36" for some unknown reason produced numerous ties in both the Net and Stableford categories. Only the 1st place for the low Net score did not produce a tie and as noted in the following table the winner was Natthawaree Sriwanlord.
The following table lists the results:

Lanna Mon 22 Oct 2012

On a beautiful Autumn Day (50) Chiang Mai golfers turned out for the first round of the Annual Tournament. The Lanna Course true to their promise gave us a nice discount charging only 500 baht for green fee and caddy fee. The course itself was well prepared and we had it all to ourselves. Thirteen groups teed off and there was aprox. 90 minutes between the first and the last group on the tee. There were some delays at the par three tees but no more than normal and generally all groups flowed through the course well.

All golfers were scored under the 36 handicap system and the winning results are as follows. Ken Nalder scored an impressive low gross of 87 to take the first prize of 1500 baht and also recorded the best Stableford score of 38 points. CMSG has a policy of only awarding one winning prize per person so the Stableford prize went to the second place five way tie at 36 points between Gerry Brimacombe, Jack Cooper, Frank Schwarz, Jerry Buckley and Udom Surin.

Congratulations to all and the next round is Thursday Oct 25 at Doi Inthanon, see you there!
