Another glorious day weatherwise at MaeJo today, the golf course was relatively empty and all groups started on hole #1. Today we had a special event where we entertained 9 golfers from North Hill to take part in our weekly stableford tournament but also to introduce everyone to the ‘Little Man’ trophy. It is envisaged that this trophy will be competed for on a monthly basis with a wide range of venues (yet to be decided/confirmed) these will be promulgated in due course on the normal communication links. In total we had 19 golfers today which were mixed up evenly between both golfing groups. It was a most enjoyable day with most players having a great deal of fun with many new friendships being forged.

The winner of this month’s ‘Little Man’ at MaeJo was Gary Walker:

Moving swiftly on to the CMSG Stableford results as follows:

In joint 3rd place on 33 points was Roger Bishop and Jay Windmon, following up in 2nd place was Eric George, however the winner on 38 points was Gary Walker. In addition to this the birdie hole #14 was also claimed by Gary Walker.

It was disappointing to note that given all the hard work that had been put into arranging/organising this event (CMSG/North Hill) for your pleasure and enjoyment some of the attendees found it difficult to attend the prize giving ceremony of this inaugural event. It would have been polite at the very least  to inform either members in your group or the organisers of your intended absence.

Hariphunchai 27.05.2026

Four players showed up for a stableford round after heavy rains over the last day or 2. The fairways drained well and carts were permitted on all holes. The greens are still recovering from a recent coring and they are still sketchy in places. We were the only group playing other than a four ball so no delays. In second place was Ian with 30 points and in first was Tom with a solid 42 points after a long drought. See you all next week.

We only had four show up today with Paul Wearmouth & Prajat Bacci equaling on 33 points & yours truly coming in 3rd on 32 points.

Its just starting the warm up now but there has been a bit of rain about softening the faiways. We just have to be thankful for small mercies I guess.

The birdie hole #14 remains intact, the competition results are as follows: Front 9 on 21 points was Iain Craig, the back 9  was taken by Jay Windmon on 23 points. The overall winner with a massive 45 points was Eric George. in addition to all this Jay Windmon joined the ‘Hole in One ‘ Club when he registered his 1st ever Hole in One on hole 17, congratulations to everyone.

CMSG International 17.05.2026 Summit Green Valley

What a great day, all made possible by the the glorious weather conditions, the International players and their respective teams, the committee members and also the conditions of the golf course. A huge thankyou to all the staff of Summit Green Valley for accommodating CMSG.

International competitors

We played a scramble format and had 8 teams representing America, UK, France, Australia, Asia and the World. We were afforded 5 holes to commence our ‘shotgun start’ at 9am. It was a warm day that got progressively warmer as the day moved on, and as we progressed around the golf course we could hear the noises from some very happy golfers which was fantastic, it was a pleasure and a pure delight to take part in such a fun event. Following previous days of rain it was muted/feared that we may not be able to take golf carts onto the fairways but this was quickly removed and all access to the course was made available.

We presented a sleeve of golf balls that had been engraved with the CMSG logo to all nearest the pin winners. The winner on hole 3 was Ian Martin (21′), hole 6 was taken by Heinz Olschner (20’5″), hole 12 was won by Werner Rooseboom (6’8″) and hole 16 was taken by Pierre Beaudoin the only player to get on the green (47’2″).

John Orlebeck, Randy Teisl & Jay Windmo

Today’s winners as follows: In joint 3rd place on 33 points was Nigel & Jay, just jumping ahead on 34 points was John O, but our runaway player at the top of pile with 40 points was none other than Randy Teisl.  The birdie hole #14 remains intact for another day until Friday.

Hariphunchai 13.05.2026

We had 7 members and 1 guest today. It was nice having Paul back and we welcomed Nick Depree who was playing Hariphunchai for the first time. The greens are certainly in far better condition than last week, another week or two and they should have fully recovered. The area around Hariphunchai didn’t get the heavy rains that we experienced in Chiang Mai over the last 24 hrs and surprisingly the course was dry apart from where ground staff were watering. As usual the course was very quiet and the first group was finished in well under 3hrs. Paul had an outstanding front nine shooting 44 with 26 stableford points. Unfortunately the back nine wasn’t as good and he finished in a 3 way tie for second with Tom and Brian on 33 points. Our winner for a second week was Shane with an excellent 35 points.

I will be away for the next 3 weeks, Tom will be filling in for me in my absence.

Today we had a reasonable participation with 10 players. As you will see only 8 players are mentioned and 4thplace is not visible. The “phantom” was Nick (clearly Australian). Maybe in near future a new member. The 2ndnot mentioned player is Namthorn (female) from Thailand who became today our new member. Today the gap between the winners and the “rest” was quite big. The family Bacchi took the honors with 37 Stableford points. But to prevent a family party our Serge got in between them.

Another fine day at Maejo although it did get rather warm during the back end of the round. We had 10 members all in the competition which was a stroke play format today. A special mention to Graham SB who chipped in for a 2 on hole 7 which was also the birdie hole, however with his handicap it was a ‘net hole-in-one’. A new birdie hole on Friday.

And now to today’s winners; in joint 2nd place was Roger Bishop with a gross 95 net 72 and David Rickard with a gross 103 net 72 but the 1st place went to Ken Warren with a gross 86 net 70, well done to all players.

Hariphunchai 06.05.2026

We had a very good turnout, 15 members and we played Nassau format. Unfortunately we had zero cloud cover which resulted in a sweltering morning. The course was once again extremley quiet so no delays on the turn. The ground staff are in the process of top dressing the greens and this made putting on a few holes problematic, green conditions certainly made it harder. The front nine was won by Pierre will an excellent 22 points. Everyone seemed to find the backnine harder and we ended up with Ian and Marty sharing the honours with 18 points. Our overall winner was Shane with a fantastic 38 points, well done.

There were only five of us today on the usual hardpan & blue skies. We started out as a fivesome but by the time we reached 9 holes it was decided to break up into a twosome & threesome thanks to following pressure.
We played a Nassau that was fairly & squarely taken out by Lamyai on 43 points but due to her taking out the overall Ari got the front followed by Serge & I tied for the back.
Good weather & small crowds so all was good. Even though Rene birdied the 16th he missed out completely so we gave him the honour of taking the photo.

We only had 4 of us today but it was an enjoyable round nonetheless. The weather was superb & we seemed to be the only one’s on the course for all of the round. Werner, our new memeber, showed up even after playing Highlands yesterday, but it was Tom & Christian who took out the win with 28 points a piece, so obviously not too much low scoring.
 
Thanks for to the foursome for showing up & giving us our normal round of golf on Wednesday!

Another pleasant day ay Maejo golf course, today we had 9 players all in the competition which was a stableford format. Currently hole 1 remains out of action, however it should be ready for play next month so we played hole 10 again as it has a similar handicap index to hole 1. The course was very quiet today which enabled all teams to complete their respective rounds in under 4 hours. The Birdie hole was #14 which was won by Nigel Stubbs. And now to the winning circle, in 3rd place on 35 points was Nigel Stubbs and in 2nd place on 36 points was John Orlebeck, the winner on 37 points was Roger Bishop. well done everyone.

We only had rive members front up today so, with very few on the course, we played as a fivesome. Seemed to drag on a bit but enjoyable nonetheless.

Prajat Bacchi sunk a birdie on the birdie hole taking all the chocolates home including second place. Gordon Langtry won the day on a net 67, taking out first place in the process closely followed by Prajat on 68. We only paid to second place today but Ari came in third on 74, tying with Rene Bacchi & yours truly bring up the rear on 76.

I would like to thank the Royal Chaingmai team for hosting the Chaingmai Ryder Cup event between CMSG and Highlanders today. We had a few last minute changes and we ended up with 34 players, 8 team matches and 18 singles matches. Everyone seemed to enjoy the matchplay format and it was nice playing something different for a change.  The initial results were looking like CMSG would retain the cup however the final singles matches resulted in a big swing with Highlanders claiming victory with a 14.5 to 11.5 win. I would like to congratulate Iain and the Highlanders team on their win.

I would also like to welcome Werner Rooseboom who joined our society today. I had a tough match against him but he managed to clinch a 1/2 point on the last hole.

The par 3 competition was hotly contested, the winners were as follows:

Hole 3  – Tom, Hole 6 – Marty, Hole 11 – Mihir and Hole 17 – Danie, well done guys.

Another fine day at MaeJo, however the course was currently undergoing coring activities and also hole #1 was closed for rebuild, the management offered us #10 & #18 to play again, it was decided to play #10 again to complete our round as its handicap is similar to #1. Today their were 6 golfers and we played a stableford format, In 2nd place with a score of 32 points was Ken Warren, and the winner today with 34 points was Nigel Stubbs. The ‘Birdie Hole’ remains intact. The reduced numbers was mainly due to a competition between CMSG and Highlanders held at Chiang Mai Royal Golf Course.

We had another smallish turnout today with only 9 players fronting up. We played 3 groups of three with Jay Jones taking out the top spot with a 40 point round followed by yours truly on 39 points & Kay Kay Otten taking third with 38 points.
We played Courses 3 & 1 & it was pretty evident that Course 3 was the pick with Course 1 still as hard as a rock under foot.
Pleased to say the Birdie Hole remains intact for another week.
See some of you next week when we’ll play the rock quarries of Courses 1 & 2 again.

We celebrated Songkran with 10 members and 1 guest. It was nice having Daniel back playing with us. With the festive activities some of our regular caddies were absent today. Also, with the holidays the course was slightly busier than normal but thankfully we weren’t held up on the turn. Today was Nassau format and we had a few players fighting for the top spot. The front nine was won by Tom with a fantastic 22 points. Ian played very well on the back nine and won with 20 points. The overall winner was Brian C with a very respectable 37 points.

Next week there will be no scheduled event at Hariphunchai. Instead, we have the matchup between CMSG and HIGHLANDERS at 09:00 at Royal Chaing Mai. For those playing at Royal please check in at least 30 minutes before starting time, Sawadee Pi Mai.

We only had 9 players today so we sent 3 groups of three out to test the course. It is still as dry as a bone even though they are constantly watering it, but it sure teaches you how to hit off skinny lies.
There were three winners today with Lamyai & Rene equalling on 41 points & yours truly coming in with a 40 to keep everyone else honest.

Today we had nine members on an almost empty course, and consequently we had no hold ups. Each group finished in under three hours. The course is still immaculate and scoring was pretty good.

Ian Rogers (captain of Lanna) stole the show with a magnificent front nine worth 28 points and an overall total of 43. In second place was Tom Berger with a very good round of 38 points and third was Bill Duthie with 36 points. In all, nearly everybody had at least one birdie, eight of them being distributed between nine players.

It was good to see Jeff Routt back even though for a fleeting visit. Safe travels back to the States next week Jeff!

Next week, captain Brian retakes the helm, so hope to see you all again next week.

The course have confirmed that they will not be closed for Songkran.

We only had a total of 8 intrepid soles show up today & as one of them was a guest who is going home in a couple of days there we only 7 members.  The course was its usual hard as nails self, but as the scores attest, there was still some pretty good scoring going down.  The winner on the day was Gordon with a net 67 followed by Randy & Rene, both on 74’s.  The birdie hole didn’t go off again, even though there were plenty of Pars to go round, so I guess it will just have to jackpot next week. Bummer!!!!
