Koolpunt Mezza Nine Scramble

          The December Scramble will be held on the new Koolpunt Mezza Nine Golf Course situated in the Koolpuntville 9 residential estate at Hang Dong. As usual we will be using the Ambrose System to determine team handicaps. Choose your own team but if you do not have a team submit your name and the committee will form a team for you if sufficient numbers. Due to the fact that this is a 9 hole course and we have a shotgun start we are limited to the number of teams (possibly 10 or 11) and hopefully it will not be necessary to restrict numbers.

           Please be at the course registered with Frank in the entry lobby and your green fees etc paid no later than 7:30 as you will have to head out to your tee-off hole by 7:45 for the 8am shotgun start. If you do not have your own drinks I would pick up some water from the starters box  near the first tee before you venture out as the drink stops around the course may not be open early. Take an umbrella as it is a new course and there is not much shade out there.

           The usual entry fee of 100 baht per person (400 baht per team) applies. There will be a prize for "Nearest the Pin" on the two Par 3 Holes. Nominate your team captain who will be responsible for ensuring the team score card is completed correctly, duely signed and handed in immediately on completion of the round, also responsible for making all team final decisions on the course. Please make decisions regarding which ball you will play quickly and clear all greens immediately on completion of final putt.

Date: Thursday 13 December 2012

Tee-off:  Shotgun Start 08:00

Green Fee/Caddy Fee: 750 baht

Green Fee/Caddy Fee/Cart: 1100 baht

Gentlemen will be off the BLUE TEES (6200) & Ladies will be off the WHITE TEES (5528)

Anyone intending to have breakfast (please be there extra early) I can advise that the American Breakfast consists of Orange Juice, toast & jam, eggs (done to order), sausage, bacon, ham, tea or coffee and costs 180 baht.

Notes:
1. Distance markers on the course in the centre of the fairway are small domes coloured blue-200, yellow-150, white-100 for those of you in carts a line is painted on the cart path same colours as above as the centre of the fairway is sometimes not visible from the cart path.
2. Keep it down the middle because there is water left and right on most holes and sometimes crossing in front of the greens as well. If there is no water left you can bet its OB. If there is a hill at the back of the green or on a bend in the fairway then there is a good chance there will be water behind the hill. If you hit across the water onto another fairway on most holes it will be OB.

We need to advise Tim, the Issan organizer, of approximate numbers relatively soon so that he can book tee times and advise the hotels of approximate numbers.
