Lovely golf weather again, the course id in good nick and the greens are coming back (slowly). Got away early, but were held up by a Korean 3 ball for most of the round. Only 7 players due to the Muppet cup in Chiang Rai, and only 6 in the comp. Iain was 2nd with 35 points, and was edged by John D J with 36.

9 members today – the course is getting a little bit busier but we were still finished in just under 4 hours. Scores were mixed. Brian Rundle and Mr Kim were 2nd equal with 35 points but our runaway winner was Serge Arnaud with a fantastic 41 points. Well played Serge. As for the rest of us……..
We have been told that in December we shall still be charged 1000 baht for green fee caddy and cart, which is the best value around. The published rate for residents is either 1200 or 1400 baht depending on what type of driving licence you hold, but CMSG members for the time being are charged the Thai rate of 1000 baht. This concession though could stop at any time.

Great golfing weather again, but only 4 players due to the away-day at Royal clashing with us. The course is getting busier but we got away before a lot of noisy Chinese, and got round without hold-p (except for our own plauers spraying balls into the undergrowth! No great scores, but Rob was 2nd with 35 Stableford points and Iain was 1st with 38. Hope to see more of you next week.

5 members in pleasant overcast conditions, not much run on the ground following all the overnight rain.
We were pleased to find out on arrival that all CMSG members were charged the Thai rate of 1000 baht for green fee, caddie and cart rather than the residents’ or visitors’ rate. Thankyou Hariphunchai! Although, please note this will always be subject to change (the residents’ rate is 1200 baht with a 5 year Thai driving licence)
As to the scores Nigel Stubbs was second with 34 points, but our winner today with 36 points was Christian Friis. No photograph as Christian had to dash off early.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WILL BE NO EVENT AT HARIPHUNCHAI NEXT WEEK DUE TO THE CHIANGRAI CUP

Nice golf weather again today, although it warmed up a little bit on the back 9. The course generally is in good condition and the greens are improving well. We were eld up on every hole by some slow Chinese which shouldn’t have happened if the starter had gone out to speed up play.
A good turnout, with 16 players in all, a warm welcome back to David Rickard and Gordon Langtry. Some excellent scores today. Mark was 3rd with37 stableford points, Randy was 2nd with 39 and once again Heinz was first with an amazing 42 (it must be because all those beans he eats!). Anyway, Heinz is away back to Germany tomorrow so others should have a chance of winning until he returns in February. Have a good trip back Heinz, and we’ll see you again next year.
