It will be the second of our quarterly Scrambles for 2012 and will consist of 4 person teams using the Ambrose system of handicapping i.e., The teams four individual handicaps totalled up and divided by 8.

Usual Scramble rules apply. All four members tee-off and then select best ball. Person whose ball is selected does not play 2nd shot, remaining three players play second shot. No restrictions for remaining shots. No restrictions on par 3 holes. Once on the green best ball selected and all players putt out in turn, as soon as the ball is in the hole that is the team score. If you putt to the edge of the hole, mark it and give your partners the chance to one putt. All four team members must have 3 drives each counted and not counting the par threes that leaves two drives at the teams discretion.

Names of those wishing to play will be posted as received and teams will be posted after the team is fully paid up.  If you do not have a team the committee will endeavour to place you in a team if there are sufficient numbers on a first in first served basis and remaining odd numbers will have to miss out. This time there will be a close off date which is the 5th June. No names will be accepted after this date unless they are a complete team of 4.

Prizes will be awarded from the total fees received for 1st, 2nd & possibly 3rd for Lowest team Net.
Also the club will donate Nearest the Pin prizes on all four par threes.

Green Fee/Caddy Fee: 1050 baht
Competition Fee: 100 baht (members only)

We will be dining after the game in the clubhouse where the prize presentation will take place.
There is a buffet available from 11am - 2pm for 150 baht for those who finish early enough and wishing to partake or there are the usual a la carte choices.

Prices may be a little dearer than outside but if we expect to get deals from these clubs we should use their facilities and not just play and run away.

Today we had record number of (44) members and (4) guests participating in this months away match
at Alpine. Everyone showed up on time so all the (13) groups teed off on schedule on an extremely hot day.  Thankfully, the starter allowed some of our groups to start on the 10th tee which resulted in our last groups not having to wait an hour to tee-off. The course was in excellent condition accept for
the fairways being a little wet from the previous evening rainfall.

Today we had a tie for 1st,2nd,3rd, & 4th place. Sharing 1st place honors was Peter Brown and Rob Lassig both posting an impressive score of (43) Stableford points. 2nd place went to Pranee Buckley and Phylis Miles both playing in the same group and scoring (37) points each. It should be noted that Steve Jepson also finished with (37) points but did not enter the competition. 3rd place honors were shared by Marisa Poakkonan and Guy Merrett both coming in with (36) points. Last, but not least, and coming in 4th place was Frank Schwarz and Len Sparrow with (35) points each. Hats off to all of today's winners!

After the golf we all traveled to the Samkam Phaeng Lake View Resort for an enjoyable lunch coupled
with even more enjoyable beers!

Thanks goes out to all the members for making this another successful away match!
