Lanna 30.03.2026

Today we had a stellar turnout of 18 souls to play Courses 1 & 3, all members, except for one who was getting his cards in for handicapping, but technically a member of sorts. We played as two threesomes & three foursomes & seemed to get around in record time apart from the usual heal draggers toward the end.  We also had to negotiate a few trainee caddies on Course 1 which messed a few of us up but the golfers training them understood our speedy demands & tended to let us through.
I’m pleased to say that the Birdie Hole didn’t go off today either so it will jackpot again next Monday, I say with a collective sigh of relief.
We played a Stableford format today with Ari surprisingly coming in first place with a very credible 41 points & with Serge, John O & Jack R all tying on 39 points & taking the bacon. Alas, there were a few questions asked as to the score outcomes but the computer never lies, does it?
See you all next week when I hope the numbers continue to impress!

The course was once again very quiet and remains in lovely conditions. We had 11 members and we played Stableford format. It was also nice seeing Bill and Brian again. With it being quiet we had no delays on the turn and all groups were finished in under 3hrs. Although there were a good number of birdies the overall scoring wasn’t great. Bill bagged 3rd place with 30 points and KK was second with 33 points. Congratulations to Julian who continues his winning streak with 34 points.

Lanna 23.03.2026

We had a pretty good turnout again today with 15 members showing up to give Lanna Courses 1 & 2 a going over. We had 4 groups today, 1 threesome & 3 foursomes, but alas the Birdie Hole didn’t go off once again so it will jackpot next week when we play Courses 1 & 3 & use Course 3’s Hole 7 as the Birdie Hole this time,
The winners on the day were Donald Otten  with a 63 net, followed by Gordon Langtry with a 68 and Serge Arnaud with a 72.  The scores were all pretty close today with only 4 players in the 80’s, but the less said about that the better me thinks!
See you next week, same time, same place, when we’ll do it all over again.

Hariphunchai 18.03.2026

We had 10 players today and we played Nassau format. Some of the fairways were wetter than normal especially on the front nine which caused problems for some of us. The course was again fairly quiet and we completed the rounds in just over 3hrs. Once again, the scoring wasn’t particularly good. On the front nine Tom and Pierre were tied first on 18 points and Serge won the back nine with 19 points. Today’s winner was Julian on 37 points; he was the only player today who played to his handicap. Tom has highlighted in the last week that on hole 5 some players don’t understand that lateral relief isn’t allowed on the green side yellow staked hazard area. We briefly discussed this with the group after the round and as we still have some confusion from now on, we will count yellow staked areas as red staked areas, lateral relief will be allowed. The local rules on the CMSG website have been updated accordingly.

Another glorious day at Maejo, the course is in excellent condition as it prepares for upcoming tournaments, the greens were very quick and punishing. Today we had 11 players in the competition which was a Nassau format. The ‘birdie hole’ was number 17 and it remains intact. Moving on to the winners: The front 9 was won by Eric George with 19 points and the back 9 was won by John Orlebeck on 21 points. The overall winner was Randy Teisl on 39 points. Well done to everyone.

We had another good turnout today with 11 members & two guests showing up to take on Courses 1 & 2. The two guests were actually a returning member in the guise of Graham Adams who signed up again putting his first card in & Kim, who only played 9 holes without entering the comp.
The temps were pretty good with the winners on the day being Kay Kay Otten in first, Serge in 2nd & Ari in 3rd.
The birdie hole didnt go off, for what its worth, so we double up next week.
There were a couple of notable adsentees today, so hopefully we’ll be blessed with their presence next week.

Wow did we get lucky today. Rained all night and right up until our tee off time, then it stopped. Course was a little wet, but playable. Had a little birthday cake to celebrate Rick and Rogers birthday’s. Played 2-person Best Ball, blind draw after the round. No takers for the birdie hole (#17). Tied for 2nd place with 41 points Graham and John O, Roger and ken. The winners with a great score of 47 points was Donald and Rick.

Said good-bye to Chris Norman and Michael Kuzmich “Kuzzie”, both are heading out of country for awhile. Chris will be back in October and Kuzzie with return in July.

Maejo 11.03.2026

Today we had 8 golfers all playing in a Stroke play format. The weather started okay but we could hear the rumbles of distant thunder and by the 2nd hole it started raining quite heavily. However, by hole 5 the rain had eased off and we completed a pleasant day of golf. And so to the results, in 2nd place with a net 72 was Aom Teisel, but in joint 1st place (the Maejo captains decided it was about time they cleaned up the show) on a net 68 was Roger Bishop and Randy Teisl.  The birdie hole #17 remains intact. Well done everyone.

Today despite losing many players for a variety of reasons, many of whom will return next week, we still had eight members in our comp. Welcome back to Jay Jones after a long break for medical reasons (and welcome back to her husband Kenny also!). Also, Bon Voyage to Shaun Stewart – see you later in the year.

The course was wet following the heavy storm last night and therefore, there was little run. There was also a lot of debris on the fairways, but this was being rapidly cleared as we were playing.

In equal first place were Julian Wing and K.K. Otten, both with 36 points. In third place was Tom Berger with 35 points.

Captain Brian retakes the reins next week, and I hope to see you all there again.

Julian and K.K.

Lanna 1 & 2, 9 March 2026

We had a stella field of golfers today with 16 members & 2 guests showing up to tackle Lanna’s Courses 1 & 2 in a Stroke format. We played 3 groups of 4 & 2 groups of 3 & although there seemed to be a rook of us it all seemed to go smoothly enough. John Orlebeck & Eric George played with the 2 guests but clearly didn’t have good rounds as they didn’t leave their cards to be inputted.

The Birdie Hole, Hole 1 on Course 2, went off alas with Pierre Beaudouin hitting an approach within 2 metres of the pin then draining the put to take all the chocolates.

Good to see a lot of old faces showing up to play & hopefully this won’t be a one off when considering future events.

The winners on the day were Serge & Donald in equal first with Net 67’s a piece followed by Aom in 3rd place with a Net 68.
Alas, Serge had to leave early to get back to Lamyai’s Hospital bedside hence his absense from the winners photo.
I’ve added one of the Birdie winner, Pierre Beaudoin, for good measure as well.

For information, the match report was completed in time unfortunately if 2 people are working on the report page at the same time one can be lost as in this case, so here we go again with a shortened version.

Today we had 9 players in the competition and we played a stableford format, in 3rd place with 35 points was John De Jong, closely followed by Nigel Stubbs on 36 points, but the winner with 38 points was Roger Bishop. The birdie hole #10 is remains intact.

The course was in good condition but is currently being prepared for upcoming tournaments, all groups finished in under 4 hours. Also be reminded that the course will be closed for the majority of April, consider alternatives. In addition the driving range is unavailable for all of March.

It was another lovely cool morning on a very quiet course. The course remains in lovely condition and we were fortunate that the rate for CMSG in March has been reduced to 1000 baht. We had 13 players today and we welcomed Pierre and Philippe who joined CMSG today. This was Garry’s last round for six weeks and we wish him safe travels. For some unknown reason we all struggled today especially on the greens. Lamyai and Serge shared 2nd place with 32 points and our winner today was Shaun with 34 points.

Lanna 1 & 2 2nd March 2026

We had a good turnout for our first event back for 2026 with 10 Members & 2 Guests fronting up for the go around.  As there were very few on the course at 8.00am we were allowed to play as 4 groups of 3 which was a pleasant change. As you can see by the results, Lamyai continued her great run of form with a healthy 40 Stableford points, followed by Jack with 35 points & Serge with 34.  As my computer skills got in the way of the results collation on the day we erroneously had Serge & Prajat tied in 3rd place but since Julian has gotten me out of a bind it appears Prajat owes Serge B50 for coming in 4th.

See some of you next Wednesday I hope as the course is in good nick & the fees are low enough to get us back doing what we like on Mondays!

Sorry, no photo of the winners today as yours truly deleted the one I took of Lamyai, Jack & Serge thinking the scores were correct.
