Today at Royal Chiang Mai we had 27 Members and one guest playing at our July 2012 away match. Everyone showed up on time and there were no delays to get the round started. We went out in 7 foursomes on both Tee # 1 and Tee # 10.
The Golf Course was in great shape, the greens were very fair and the ball stopping well on the good approach shots. The weather was more on the warmer side with the Sun out most of the day and no Wind until the last couple of holes.
One group had a special tee off happening when Jack Cooper was in his down swing his Ball fell of his Tee and he hit only the Tee which lifted off with a funny sound and landed about 20 yards in front of the Tee Box but his ball did not move an Inch forward. Jack finished his swing with a complete follow thru just to realize that he had to do it all over again.
After the round we met in the "Club Room" were we had a nice cold 30 Liter Keg of Leo waiting for us. The Service was excellent and the food was great as well.

We want to mention that Khun Noi the Marketing Director of the Royal Chiang Mai Golf Course, she was the key person for us to make sure we had a most enjoyable day at their facilities. A special thanks go out to her with a promise that we will be back.
As to the Scores. We noticed that the course was playing much more difficult than other courses we play in our weekly games hence we had only three Players scoring over 36 points. Minor Placings were Third Place with 34 points Rob Lassig, second place with 37 points Jerry Buckley. The Winner with a total of 39 points today was Lester Twigden who by the way was the last one to arrive this morning. We have to revise the phrase "the early Bird catches the worm".Congratulations to the Winners, well done and well deserved. For more information on the Scoring please have a look at the Handicap Page.
On another note we had some slow play today and the Committee received a formal complaint which we will follow up on but at this time we are asking all players, that
IF THE GROUP BEHIND YOU IS PLAYING FASTER THAN YOU THEN YOU HAVE TO LET THEM PLAY THRU. That is provided of course that the slower playing group has at least one clear
hole in front of them. There should absolutely be no discussion about this rule as it is Golf Etiquette.
So to everyone out there, next time let a faster playing group or groups play
through and help make it more enjoyable for everyone.
