Today we had 11 players, the course was in good condition and the greens are improving apart from hole 17 where it continues to be dressed with excessive sand. The course was quite quiet and all groups completed their round by 11am. We did have one golfer that reached hole 2 in 1 (par 3) and the proceeded to 7 putt, no names (RT). The winner today on an impressive 38 points was Heinz Olschener, in 2nd place was Rick Gregory on 37 points and in 3rd place on 36 points was Rob Grootenhuijs.

Just for you Randy
Hariphunchai, 30.10.2024
5 golfers , very pleasant, relaxed golf on a course that is the best maintained in the Chiang Mai area. The fairways were like carpets! Let’s hope it doesn’t change in the next few months when we get the foreign invasion.
Scores were very good, out of the prizes but in third place with 38 points was Nigel Stubbs. In second place with 39 points was Christian Friis but today’s winner with 41 points was Julian Wing.

Maejo 25.10.2024
A rather misty start, but nice and cool for the first 9 holes. Warmed up a bit on the back 9, but not too bad. A bit slow from time to time but we still finished before 11.30. The captain behaved himself today and didn’t get any caddies suspended, but played like shit! His only claim to fame was winning the caddy hole on hole #7 with 3 on! 13 players, 11 in the comp and Stableford again just to be boring, Aom was 3rd with 34, Rob was 2nd with 35 and Graham won in style (his style) with a great 38. Unfortunately, Donald Trump and Tiger Woods were unable to play today, but they may turn up again soon.
North Hill, 25.10.2024
3 members for todays farewell to North Hill for high season. Only two finished. Todays winner was Garry Walker with a great 38 points. See you in March???

Iain Craig and Aom Teisl
Today there were 8 golfers, 7 in the competition and 1 guest. The weather was bright warm and ideal playing conditions, the course played okay but the greens remained generally in poor condition. There were quite a few golfing groups today playing competition and inevitably caused some hold ups.
Todays winner with 32 points was Iain Craig and in 2nd place was Aom Teisl with 30 points.
MaeJo 21.10.2024
Today we were playing a team of 14 players from Chiang Rai in a ‘Scramble’ Groups from both sides set of from holes 1 and 10. The weather was kind insomuch it was dry sunny and warm. On completion of the golf match everyone retired to the ‘Godfather’ for food and drinks which proved very popular. The winners today with 48 points was Chris Ryan, Rob Bos and Murray, in 2nd place was Ades, Jim and Rob (CR) with 46 points. With 45 points was Mike and Neil (CR), and in 4th place on 43 points was Rob and Niger (CR). It was a fun day enjoyed by all.

4 starters and 2 finishers. Course a little wet from last night’s rain but otherwise excellent conditions. Some of the best greens I’ve seen lately. Prajat won with 33.

Annual Tournament Final Positions
Hariphunchai, 16.10.2024 The Third Leg of the Annual Tournament.
Once again Hariphunchai has shown up Lanna and Maejo in terms of quality. The course is very well maintained although one hole was still being seen to as we were playing. We set everybody off in order of arrival well before our published time to ensure that there was as little delay as possible at the turn. It seemed to work as the final group only took 3 and a half hours to complete their round. Weather was superb for golf!
The golf itself was moderate. In second equal with 34 points were Serge Arnaud and Kenny Jones, but once again Mike Roycroft took the honours with 38 points. Tom Agna and Mike Roycroft won the nearest the pin prizes that were sponsored by Chris Ryan and Bluestar
Hope to see everybody once again on Friday at North Hill which will be the final leg of the Annual Tournament.
Kenny, Mike and Serge

Lanna 3&1, 14 10.2024
Just 5 members today, probably as CMSG have the final two legs of the Annual Tournament later this week. Conditions were good.
Today’s joint winners were Jack Reutter and Prajat Baachi who both scored 31 points
Maejo, 11.10.2024 – 2nd leg of the Annual Tournament
Good golf weather for a change, and the course was in reasonable condition apart from the greens, some of which were rather questionable to say the least, but at least they are being worked on. A decent turn out with 27 players, 23 of which were in the competition. Nearest the pin prizes went to Iain (hole 2), Kay Kay (hole 7), Roger (hole 14) and Mike (hole 17). Some decent scores today – Kenny was 5th with 35 Stableford points, Randy and Brian were 3rd equal with 36, Heinz was 2nd with 38 and today’s winner was Mike with 39. It’s worth pointing out that Mike has a substantial lead in the International Tournament with 2 wins out of 2 matches, well done.
Finally, please don’t forget the Chiang Mai Chiang Rai Challenge on 21 October (Maejo) and the 22nd (Royal). All interested, please email Chris Ryan.

Today there were 9 players with 8 in the competition and 1 guest. In general the course was in a good condition, however the greens were not so good with an abundance of sand that didn’t allow for good putting. Today’s winner with 32 points was Rob Grootehuijs, in 2nd place was Randy Teisl with 31 points and in 3rd palce was Heinz Olshner with28 points.

Lanna 1 & 2 07.10.2024 -The Annual Tournament
27 members turned up for the first round of our Annual Tournament, but unfortunately we had members that didn’t show who didn’t advise the organisers. We can do without these hassles when we have to group so many people. If you can’t make it please telephone us!
The course was wet but playable, but you soon learnt that you should ensure that you don’t get the ball in the rough especially on course 2. Scores with two obvious exceptions reflected the conditions.
The nearest the pin prizes, sponsored by Chris Ryan and Bluestar went to Ram Taylor, Ian Rogers and 2 to Randy Teisl
We had a 4 way tie for third between Randy Teisl, Julian Wing, Tom Agna and Prajat Baachi all with a modest 32 points. However way out in front for the men was Mike Roycroft with a terrific 41 points but he only came second on the day. Today’s winner with a superb 42 points was Kay Kay. Very well played!
The next round of the Annual Tournament will be at Maejo this coming Friday. If you haven’t got your name down for it yet and wish to play, then please contact Julian asap. Thankyou!

Still raining when we set off, but the rain stopped after the first hole and held off for the rest of the round. Still very wet under foot though, and the going was tough. Some decent scores given the conditions. 9 players in all, 8 in the competition and 1 guest. Lamyai was 1st with 36, Graham was 2nd with 33 and Kay kay was 3rd with 30.

8 members on a perfect day for golf, overcast and cool. With the overnight rain, there wasn’t much run, but the course played beautifully.
Ladies day today! Our two ladies finished first and second. The best of the men was Christian Friis with 33 points, but he was outscored by both Ram Taylor (35 points) and Lamyai Prasarn who scored an excellent 38 points
Next week as I will not be at the course, Nigel Stubbs will be captain. See you all later!

Today we had 9 players, 8 in the competition and 1 guest. Considering the promulgated forecast the weather was very nice and sunny, the course however was very wet and the greens were challenging. Due to the course condition we decided to play ‘lift clean and place’ throughout. Today’s scores are a true reflection on course conditions. The winner today was Rob Grootenhuijs with a score of 32 points and in joint 2nd place was Randy & Aom Teisl with 27 points.
