Udon Thani Golf Society.

[Galee]

The golf society had a bit of a false start yesterday. having arrived at Victory Park we found that, despite them having our fixture list since the beginning of the year, they had double booked us with a Callaway Tournament. Despite the frustration no one had a moan, at least not verbally for which I'm thankful, and it was decided to go to Sri Thani for our Monday game.

12/07/10. Sri Thani, Stableford. Field of 10, plus 2 guests.
Winner. Gary Parks.40 points
Second. Jim Leatherhead. 39 points. (on countback)
Nearest the pin, par 3's.
Les Smith
Gary Parks
Norman Risky (X2)

Next event 19/07/10. Sri Thani, again.

Sri Thani 7th Dec.

The golf societies coffers are quite healthy at the moment. It is my intention that at the above venue that all players will have some of their green fees refunded by the society.
I will know nearer the time how much the society can afford, but at the moment I’m thinking in the region of 200baht per player.


Victory Park 20th Dec

The Harry Hopley Memorial Trophy will be played for on this day.

Player of the Year Award

Can you please give me your thoughts on the above.

I have been keeping a record of the results of the previous events played this year and thought we could use the results to calculate the Player of the Year Award.

The Player of the Year would be the person who accumulates the most points over the year. Points would be awarded as follows.

Winner of weekly stableford =3 points
Second in weekly stableford= 2 points
Third, if awarded, in weekly stableford= 1 point.

Winner of ‘A’ or ‘B’ flight monthly medal =2 points
Second in ‘A’ or ‘B’ flight monthly medal =1 point.

The reasoning of 2 points for a monthly medal winner is that there are fewer players in a flight than there in the stableford competition.

The winner of Player of the Year will receive an engraved trophy and a cash prize.

At the moment the points standings from the end of June are as follows.

1 Jacque Messier 7points
1 Anders Lincoln 7points
3 Kenny Leadbetter 6 points
3 Tero Salmela 6 points
5 Bob Jackson 5 points.

[Galee]

Hi Ronnie. Unfortunately the Society does not have a game scheduled for that period. The programme for next year hasn't been finalised, so there may be a chance of a Society meeting at the beginning of January. However if you send me a PM nearer the time I'm sure we will be able to arrange a friendly game with some of the Society members.

[ronniec]

I dont mean to hijack this thread, but can anyone tell me of a decent golf driving range near Udon and also a par 3 course that might have clubs for rent?

[STUMPY]

Hi, at the back of the airport there is a great driving range. Next street after airport going to ring road, follow road down past houses after sharp left bend 100 mts on your right.
