There we were 35 golfers (9 groups) on a fine day at Highlands with everyone checked in early and ready to go off both tees when the starter comes up and tells us we can all go off the 1st early. Can you believe it would happen to us on two courses in the one tournament. Anyway after physically dragging people to the 1st tee we did actually all get away earlier than we would have off both tees, so alls well that ends well (I think). The weather was good and the course was beautiful, at 6287 yds the course was about 600yds shorter than Lanna players are used to but 280 yds longer for Maejo players. If you only play the one course the 880 yds is sure to make a difference in handicaps. At the end of the day it was Steve J with 41 pts, Len S with 40 pts, Lennart L with 39 pts and Mr.B with 38 pts who collected the prize with smiles all round.
Note: Hazard Warning - Highlands hole #11. If you hit into the houses and break a tile it is a fine of 455baht. One of our number hit a ball out of bounds on this hole and after the game a lady came to the restaurant to confront him. "It could not have been me" he says, "I have a large letter 'K' on my ball" She presented him with a ball suitably marked - no argument - he paid the fine...
