Songkran Exodus was well under way and very few of the regulars had decided to stay here. Indeed after this day, all Golf organised days out were cancelled until the 22^nd, although social Golf would take place.

Suffice to say all the players were on one Mini Bus, except those with cars, and it made for a very social group as it was quick to book in and we were at the Tee Off at least one hour early. The A & B Nines were the test as the other two were the 18 holes that the 'Professionals' were playing on and could be watched on the 'Telly'.

These 18 holes were in tremendous condition, with green grassed fairways, tricky fast greens and reasonable rough. In all, not only tremendous value but practically empty! Round over we all sat in the restaurant at an extremely early time and when the presentation was over all were left wondering what to do half way through the afternoon. Talking of the winners, the scores were nothing to write home about. However, the winner Larry Simpson shot his handicap with 36 points ahead of a three way countback on 33 points that saw Kris Helgasson in second, Mike Rushant in third and Kevin Dunne just losing out.

Then we bimbled back to Pattaya and found a nice spot with a cold beer.   T.T.F.N.
