With Overcast skies and light showers falling 18 keen golfers turned out at Gymkhana to find that we had the clubhouse & golf course all to ourselves. By tee-off time it was just the occasional spot and hardly enough to justify an umbrella. All 6 groups tee'd off on time with the first group finishing the 18 hole round in 3 hours. The course although wet after the overnight rain was in fine shape with recently mowed fairways and greens in excellent shape and holding. The only complaint heard was that a few of the bunkers could do with some more sand.
It was expected that as all were playing off Chiangmai Golfers handicaps on a short Gymkhana course that some high scores would be the order of the day but with wet conditions on a tight course with plenty of trees this was for the most part not to be and the greater majority either played to handicap or there about. The one notable exception was the days winner Noi Taylor with 40 points and whose skill was witnessed on the third hole when she managed to bounce a ball safely on the cement pathway and across the water, now that is accuracy. Runners-up came in the form of a three way tie, Pung Bacchi, Len Sparrow and Garry Walker each with 36 points. Apart from Denis Dixon who claimed a Net hole in one there were no other highlights to the round. Forgetting the golf for a moment it was a lovely walk in the park with enjoyable company and followed by a relaxing lunch and liquid refreshments
