Bloody hot out there after the first 9 holes and we lost one player after 9 from the initial 7 starters. The course is playing short due to temporary tee boxes up-front while they re-sod the original tees. Nearly there, and we should be back to the original tee boxes quite soon. Due to the odd number of players, we played regular stableford and had some good scores. Eric was 3rd with 35, Iain was 2nd with 37 and Joe won with 38. Well done all, see you next week.

7 members including new member Stephen Snowden from Australia. Welcome to CMSG Stephen. The scores today were terrible but we have a lot of excuses. Firstly it was too hot and humid, everybody was drained and all the back 9s were worse than the front 9s. Secondly the course was in the process of maintenace, The greens had been cored but only some had been sanded and some had been sanded but not swept. This meant that putting was a bit of a lottery!
So, to the results. In third with 28 points was Tom Agna, Second was Julian Wing with 30 points and today’s winner was Nigel Stubbs with just 32 points.
Next week there will be no golf at Hariphunchai due to prior commitments, so we shall all meet again on Wednesday May 8th when hopefully the greens will be back to their pristine condition as usual.
Tom, Nigel and Julian

Another hot day and a fair bit of smoke unfortunately. 13 players today, 12 in the comp and we only saw another single one-ball on the course. Green surrounds and tee boxes still being upgraded, but on the whole the course was in not-bad nick. Mainly decent scores today, but nothing spectacular. Joe was 3rd with 34 and Iain and Grahame were equal first with 35.

6 members today on a quiet course. Following a small amount of overnight rain, conditions were slightly cooler and slightly less smokey than recently, but it was still humid. However, for just a short time we could actually see a bit of blue sky!! Rounds took about three hours. I think the green keeper had a bad night as some of the pin placements were challenging to say the least!
Scores were poor but Brian Rundle and Bill Duthie did the best of us, both shooting 33 points to come equal first. Serge Arnaud had a terrible round in general but managed to hole his third shot from 150 yards to score an eagle at the 18th, What a way to finish!

Very smokey weather today so we only attracted 10 players, all members. They’re doing a lot of work on the course (getting ready for the Pissheads!). Very quiet, got round in well under 4 hours but all ready for a beer afterwards due to the heat. Stableford again today with some decent scores. Eric was 3rd with 34 points, Iain was 2nd with 37 and David was the winner with 39 points. No organized golf on Wednesday and Friday next week due to the Pissheads, but the tee times remain for those who wish to play. Well done all and see you again in 2 weeks.

Hopefully see everyone again next week after we have had a bit of rain.
