Chiang Mai Social Golf Club Annual Tournament 'The Presidents Cup' 2007

Closing date for nominations for the Annual Tournament is the 31st July. This is a members only tournament. New members must have submitted three cards from club competitions prior to the closing date of 31st July.

Nomination fee will be 200 baht. This will cover the cost of an “all you can eat” Thai Steak/Salad Buffet at CK Steak Chang Klan for you and your partner on the presentation night which will be held 6pm Saturday 25th August. Pay for your own drinks (Large Sing/Tiger 60B Heineken 70B Chang 50B Soft Drink 10B). Anyone who is not in the competition but wishes to attend this function with the group please advise Les or Garry.

Subject to everyone getting their nominations in by the end of this month I will go ahead and book the venue for the presentation and make the course bookings (attempting to get a further discount) and I will list tee-off times and players on the web site. Any member who is unable to be in the competition but wishes to play on one or more of the scheduled days please advise Garry ASAP (ph:0810328803).

The games will be held as follows:

Lanna Tuesday 14 Aug 0830 tee-off - green/caddy fee B700 plus B100 as usual for prize money for best net and best stableford on the day.

Chiang Mai Lamphun Thursday 16 Aug 0930 tee-off – green/caddy fee B600 plus B100 as usual for prize money for best net and best stableford on the day. (This price is brought about by members Garry, Ron & Nigel donating their guest vouchers to the club, and thanks to Kim Gillies for getting extra vouchers from HongKim and George M there will be enough vouchers for all the competitors).

Two par three holes will be nominated for the ‘nearest the pin’ on each course we play and prizes (eight in all) will be given out on the presentation night.

Hole in One prize – B1000 on each of the four courses. If it is not won on the first course the money will be awarded on the second, third etc up to a total of B4000. This prize is donated by Kim Gillies.

The overall winner will have his name placed on the club’s annual perpetual trophy ‘The President’s Cup’ and will be the golfer who submits the best three net scores. He will also be presented with a take home memento trophy. There will also be a runner-up trophy.

There will be trophies for the golfer who submits the best three stableford scores and his runner-up. The winner and runner-up of the net scores are excluded.

There may be additional prizes subject to finances.

The game on Thursday 23rd will be played at either Green Valley or Maejo. Green Valley sports day is 800+200 and Jim Catterson has negotiated a price at Maejo for 800+200. So there is still time for you to have input into where the final round will be played.

Please note that I will need to have all nominations in by the end of July so that tee-off times can be booked on the relevant courses.
