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.
