Palm Hills, Springfield and a demo day at the Mongkol

What's going on--rained off in the middle of November, so time for a couple of things to say. Palm Hills, a male and female group have, it appears, decided to get a club going, Wednesdays for the ladies and Thursdays for the gents. I've always thought that this club should encourage a 'club' atmosph...

Hi PET,

Over the back--must be the new hybrids with a senior shaft? Can't quite believe that, but would love to be proved wrong.

New season and a few events.

A new season is about to descend with the courses getting busy and supposedly getting into their best condition. Apparently not so! Lakeview reportedly with heavy rough and soggy fairways (Ok we have had a fair amount of rain) and Springfield once again deciding to create bunkers on the fairways--ho...

Kids at Sam Roi Yod

JW Thanks for the offer--ACCEPTED!-- Yes, a couple of us are hoping to get this up and running and you are right, the sight last weekend of these kids smacking a ball and having real fun whilst at the same time learning was unbelievable to see.

Information about Majestic Creek

Some friends played Majestic yesterday and this is to report that it was considered in fine condition, including the greens. If you can get up early the greens, which are a bone of contention with many golfers, seem to be at their best. Zoysia grass grows quickly, so in the afternoons you can be put...

sticky section

Would it be a good idea to put the above course info into the sticky section? I have to own up that this was meant to go into the 'sticky' section, but I got it wrong and got a flea in the ear from moderator. But now seeing we have two perhaps this section would benefit those visiting the town and ...

green fees

As far as I know and experienced, green fees and caddy fees have to be paid each round; now I have on the odd occasion been able to secure a discount on the green fee if I played a second round in the day. Remember the girls (usually girls) are staff and usually cannot make a decision unless they ca...

An attempt to give visitors information and have a gossip

At present and until the end of September we have a golf festival, which lends itself to very low green fees on most courses~800 baht. Black Mountain are not in the feastival but their green fees are only 1000 baht until end of September and then until end of November only 2000 baht, this represents...
