Match Reports March 2024
Maejo, 29.3.2024
Still quiet, and only 7 players so we had the course to ourselves. Got round in well less than 4 hours despite searching in the woods for Kuzie’s balls (golf). Also spent a bit of time searching for white balls on some of the fairways due to all the kapok! Some good scores today and no one below 30. Kuzie was second with 38 and David won with 40. Well done everyone!

Hariphunchai 20.03.2024
7 members today and following the overnight rain the course was damp but it still played very well, although we were initially caught out by the slower speed of the greens than normal. Nice to not have as much smog as recently!
Christian Friis continued his good run of form and won with 38 points. In second was Brian Rundle with 34 points and in third equal were Nigel Stubbs and Julian Wing, both with 32 points
PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WILL BE NO GOLF AT HARI NEXT WEEK DUE TO PRIOR COMMITMENTS. However we shall reconvene the following week – Wednesday 3rd April. Hope to see you then!

Only 5 for todays game in super humid conditions after last nights rain. The scores were on the low side and as there was only 5 winner takes all and that was Iain with 32 points. Hope to see a few more on Friday.

In second was Lamyai Prasarn with 35 points. Todays winner was Serge Arnoud with a great 40 points. Thank you to Serge for organising the starting in Johns absence.

Very smoggy, but at least that kept it cool as the sun couldn’t break through! Only 4 starters today probably due to the smog and people golfed-out after Wednesday’s International event. Only 3 finished today’s stableford format. Joe was 2nd with 32 points (welcome back Joe) and Graham was first with another amazing 49. Well done indeed.
North Hill, 15.03.2024

6 members for todays stableford comp. 5 in the competition and 1 going for handicap. Only 5 completed the round. The course was again quite busy early with hotel guests, but we made it round in just under 4 hours. The greens have been scarified and sanded which made putting somewhat difficult early on. In second was Garry walker with 33 points. First was Nigel Stubbs with 36 points. Next week is the Eddie Millar Strokeplay trophy, I hope we will get more numbers.

A very smoggy day, but not too hot for the first nine. The haze has suddenly got very bad and if the trend continues, we soon won’t see the flags on the par 4’s. On the bright side, it was not busy today and we got round quickly, ready for a few beers in the caddy shack afterwards. 6 players today, all in the stableford comp. Jack and Iain were second equal with 37, and in first position was Graham with an amazing 49. Well done Graham!
Iain, Graham and Jack.
Mae Jo, 06.03.2024
Only 6 members for todays round on a pretty quiet course, one group got around in 3 hours but the 2nd. group got stuck behind a group that would not let them through after the turn and finished an hour behind. To the scores, Mark carded 35 points to give him 2nd. spot and Rick had another good round with 38 points. Well done people, see you all again on Friday. TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SO GET YOUR TEAM IN NOW !!
Rick and Mark.
Hariphunchai, 06.03.2024
8 members today on a very quiet course. Rounds were completed in just over 3 hours which makes a great change from the last two months! There was some good golf played also. It certainly makes a difference when you are not having to wait at each shot!
As to the results. In third was Brian Rundle with 35 points. In second was Nigel Stubbs with 38 points but our clear winner today was Christian Friis with 40 points. Well done all!
A reminder – there will be no golf at Hariphunchai next week due to the International Scramble at Gassan Legacy. If you haven’t signed up yet please email John Orlebeck asap, as time is running out. We reconvene at Hari on Wednesday 20th March, See you all again then!

A lot of our visitors have gone home so we played in just over 4 hours. 9 members. No takers for the Birdie Hole. Scores were poor today. We had a tie for 2nd between Peter Brown(31) and Lamyai(25) with 33 points. I, John(29), won with 34 points. Back on 3 & 1 for Stroke Play next week. Hope to see many people.
Maejo, 01.03.2024
Getting warmer, but still pretty good for the first 9. Only 7 players today as many people had already left to avoid the smog which hasn’t really started yet. Due to the odd number of players, we played stableford and had some good scores. David and Kuzie tied for second with second with 35 points, and Rick was today’s runaway winner with an amazing 45 points. Well done all, see you next week.
David, Rick and Kuzie
