This is the page for all the news, views and golf gossip of the Pattaya Golf Society and around the Eastern Seaboard of Thailand. Whilst we hope everyone will find something appropriate to their game there may the odd irreverent comment or item and we do not wish to offend anyone in any way.
All potential golfers are reminded that we only play competition golf and to compete you must have a recognised handicap, preferably a CONGU handicap with IPGC. Guests may play one round before being invited to join IPGC. The only exception is those wishing to complete cards for initial handicapping. In the absence of proof of handicap the player will be expected to compete off "scratch". The full IPGC CONGU handicapping policy is here We have set up a second website, identical to this one, at http://www.pattayagolfsociety.org which will eventually become our new flagship. Meanwhile we will be running both but in a week's time we shall move entirely to the new site. Please bookmark as usual.
IPGC is pleased to announce a great new deal with Green Valley which will mean green fees cheaper than any other golf group. As a result we shall be playing the course twice every month for the foreseeable future and applaud the management for the foresight to look after some of its regular customers. If only other courses worked the same way.
Rob Lamond's gross 72 at Phoenix on Tuesday...say no more!
Here we feature events in the PGS' history. We go back to the same week in the past to relive some of our golfing stories. Were you there I wonder, in 2003? Hat-trick for Remy
In order to whet your appetite for your round with the PGS we are pleased to offer you up-to-date information on the courses we are playing each week. All information comes from the Thailand Golf Association and the Tourist Authority of Thailand and they endeavour to keep it accurate and up to date. For those wishing to play at Green Valley on Tuesday here is the the latest golf course condition report :
Latest Green Valley review " .. The course is in great condition and a good test for players of all abilities" For those wishing to play at Mountain Shadow on Thursday:
Latest Mountain Shadow review: " .. good mature course ,enjoyable to play"
Follow these directions to Mountain Shadow on Thursday
Step One: Come to Rabbi's by 8:30am, check in and even have some breakfast. Step Two: Take a seat in an air-conditioned minibus or private car, and relax whilst being driven safely and leisurely to the course, in approximately 50 minutes. Easy, na!
...Green Valley booking staff ...who accepted our booking for Tuesday three months ago and then changed it to 45 minutes later without telling us. Two days more and they had changed it to two hours earlier, less than 24 hours before the event. How on earth can organisers do their jobs efficiently with morons like this at the sharp edge?
Rob Lamond shot the nest round of the year on Tuesday at Phoenix when he went 22-20 for a total of 42 stableford points. It was a magnificent effort and one we are dellighted to show here.
Member(s) likely to experience a cut in handicap this week are: Dave Stockman Rob Lamond
...but a djustments cannot be made to clubs during a round
