We had a good turnout of 9 people today.  We would have been into double figures had it not rained so much overnight.  Speaking of which, it did sprinkle a little bit today but not enough to slow us up much which was good to hear.  The birdie hole went off today with Paul Wearmouth pocketing it, but it was good to see it go to a non-placegetter for a change.  We split up into two groups today, with a foursome & fivesome  with the foursome having to wait for the fivesome for over an hour at the end but apart from the odd grizzel it all finished up ok.

The winners on the day were Donald Otten on 38 points, Serge on 37 & Yours truly on 36 heading up the rear.  Good to see everyone back today, including Nathan from the USA playing with a regular CMSG Handicap at last.  See you all next week when we hope to celebrate Ian’s betrothal golf tournament. Fingers crossed!!!!!

Ian, Donald and Serge

When You Can Substitute a New Ball

  • Taking Relief: You can switch to a new ball when taking free relief (like an unplayable lie, embedded ball, or cart path) or penalty relief (like a penalty area).
  • Lost or Out of Bounds: If your ball is lost or hit out of bounds, you may put a completely different ball into play when replaying the shot or taking distance relief.
  • Severe Damage: If a ball is cut or cracked during the play of a hole, you may lift it to inspect it and substitute a new one. Minor scratches or scuffs do not count.
  • Between Holes: You are always allowed to change your golf ball on the tee box before starting a new hole.

Another fine day at MaeJo, we experienced some light drizzle for a while but nothing too much…….thankfully. We had 11 players today with 10 in the competition which today was a stableford format.  In joint 2nd place was Graham and Donald on 35 points, but the runaway winner on a mass of 42 points was Nigel.  The birdie hole #2 remains intact.

There were only four of us today with Courses 3 & 1 chosen as our Courses of choice.   We had Nathan Hagelin showing up just as we were setting off to put his first card in with Barry Gosson, leaving for home tomorrow, coming in first place with 38 points, Ari second on 36 & yours truly on 26 points coming a lonely third.  It was decided before we ventured out that there would be no prizes today, including the birdie hole, so as suggested we didn’t play for anything today.  Paul Wearmouth should be back next week so the planets should realign briefly.

We were once again fortunate with the weather, overcast conditions throughout and as the last group were finishing the rain started. Some delays on the turn as the course was fairly busy. We had 14 players with 9 in the competition. It was nice seeing Kenny with his guests. Dorian was submitting his second card for handicap. We also welcomed Gavin who was playing his first round with us and at Hariphunchai. Today it was Nassau format, front nine was won by Brian with 21 points. The back nine was won by Vikram with 20 points. Our overall winner was Brian Coil with an excellent 37 points.

Second was Donald and Paul scrapped third.

The course was busier today with the government holiday and we experienced some delays on the turn. The sanding of the greens last week has helped and the greens are the best they have been for sometime. We had 10 players and we decided on playing stableford format. In third place was Danie on 32 points,  and in second place was Julian with 34 points. Our winner today on a very respectable  36 points was Serge.

There were 9 players today in a ‘Stableford’ format, the course was rather damp in places but playable. All rounds were completed in under 4 hours which is considered a comfortable time frame for all players. The ‘birdie hole (#10) succumbed to Randy Teisl’s tenacity skill and good fortune, a new ‘birdie hole will be announced on Friday. The low scores recorded today reflects the conditions of the course. In 3rd place with 28 points was Roger Bishop, and in 2nd place on 30 points was John Orlebeck, but our champion winner on 33 points was Raaaaaandy Teisl. Well done everyone.

Paul, Ari, Donald and KK played at a damp Lanna this Monday. Paul filled in for Captain Ian who is back next week. While due to play A+B, a number of groups over 4 or more in front of us and an open C course saw a change of plan. We started on C and got around in just over 4 hours. This was helped by a group in front of us sitting down for lunch on the back 9 and letting us through, great stuff. Paul won with much improved performance on recent weeks with Donald second. A number of crazy lip outs cost Donald this week

We had 7 players with 6 in the competition and Vic submitting his final card for handicap. The course was busier than normal which resulted in a slower back nine. Some of the greens were being rolled and sanded which made putting a bit more difficult. We were once again very fortunate with the weather, cloudy conditions until we finished and then it started lashing down. We were playing Nassau format, the front nine was won by Julian with 18 points. The back nine was tied with Lamyai and Serge both on 16 points. Our overall winner today was Brian on 36 points.

Today we had 14 players with 10 in the competition which today was a Stroke Play format. The weather was very kind to us and it only started light rain on the 18th hole. The ‘Birdie Hole # 10 remains intact for another day!!  We had 4 guests from Brisbane Australia who were here on a short term vacation and they said that they were thankful for our hospitality, they had enjoyed their game including a good social beverage at the caddyshack afterwards. And moving on to the results: In 3rd place on a gross 100 net 76 was Roger Bishop. in 2nd place with a gross 99 and net 74 was Iain Craig but the winner today with a gross 109 net 73 was Chris Ryan. Well done everyone.

We had a sum total of 5 of us today, 3 members &  2 non-members who played as a five ball for the entire round, still managing to wait on nearly every hole regardless.

Yours truly took out the top prize with a spectacular 32, followed by Paul on 27 & Ari on 16, obviously manipulating his handicap in the process.  Overnight rain dictated that we walked to every shot but the course is looking & playing resplendently at the moment so no complaints.  Paul is in charge next week while I take a sabbatical down south a ways so hopefully we get a better turnout for him as I seem to be dropping the ball somewhat of late. Thanks to the stalwarts for keeping our heads above water of late.
