CHIANG MAI/ISSAN CUP
Dates have now been agreed for this years event, which once again will be held in Khon Kaen. Tim Seitz, the organiser over there has a very good relationship for sponsorship with the Tourism Authority and was keen to host the event again. The Chiang Mai team go there as proud holders of the Annual Trophy for the last two years and keen to make it a Hat Trick.

The event is a couple of weeks later this year due to competitions at the main course, the very beautiful Singha Park, a Championship quality course, where we will play twice, with the third round at Dancoon Golf Club, which has fond memories for our team, as it is the place where we have picked up the trophy the last two years!!

The dates are as follows. MONDAY 7TH NOVEMBER, TRAVEL TO KK. GOLF EVENTS TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. TRAVEL HOME FRIDAY 11TH NOVEMBER (or later, your choice). The total cost for the three rounds including caddy but excluding carts is almost exactly 2500 Baht, an absolute bargain! The team hotel where we all stay together will be very close to 1000 baht per night, and all players (both teams) will be asked to pay 500 Baht towards prizes and presentation function.
Once again this year we will be joined by our friends from The Royal League in trying to successfully defend our trophy. Tim tells us that he is equally determined to get it back from us this year!! THE MORE THE MERRIER!! ALL GOLFERS WELCOME, REGARDLESS OF HANDICAP!! We have a very good agreement with Tim that as far as possible, matches will be between players of similar handicap, so dont feel intimidated at all, come and join what is always a great week of Golf, Fun, and Frolics!! A great time is guaranteed!!
We are now looking for people who will go to declare their interest, if possible please to malcolmtetley@hotmail.com or ramack@hotmail.com. Malcolm is in the UK until Mid June, so emails preferred please at this stage. MALCOLM.

NOTE: Tim has indicated that the presentation function is intended for golfers only, however any non-golfers wishing to attend must also pay 500baht and he requires payment and advise in advance.
