HILLY

It is still raining every day Doggie and we have been rained off Phoenix, Siam, and Khow Keow in the last week. The ground is waterlogged but as you say it dries out in a day if there is no more rain. Whilst it is too early to be worried this season is seeing some very heavy and very late heavy rains. In fact the rain is heavy again right now with black skies all over. Phoenix is better than most for drying also.

Tee off time 9.44 and me and A.M. got there at 9am so there was time for breakies. Half way up the road to Siam the heavens opened and added more flood water to yesterdays downpours. Arriving at the check in desk the girl looked really surprised to see us but welcomed the chat as she also looked bored stupid. Looking across the course it appeared that all the bunkers now had waves lapping their tropical shores and it was about then that Tony rang to say that he didn't fancy it too much which confirmed what I already knew. So we went down to his house which is just up the road and he th

Just had an email from Kalbo 11 Monte (US team). He can not make the Ride Her Cup due to problems in the PI. This would allow one late entry and is deffinate.

Thanks guys and much appreciated. They really do not seem to care about cigarettes and with the new customs forms you are not even asked to declare things any more as you used to have to. One thing not to do is to carry them in duty free bags as that is too obvious. No one has ever been stopped for fags that I know of but my son did 2 years ago when he arrived with 10 cartons in see through duty free bags and all they did was ask for a 1000 Baht. If anyone does get made to pay duty then that will be my risk and I will reimbruse that also but it is highly unlikely. Put them in your car

But I did. Ask Lobing or Lobert as the very next week I did manage to take out the Tee again without even hitting the ball which remained exactly where the tee had previously been. How I do this I really do not know as there is not enough room to get the club under the ball without moving it. However I just bought a new weapon and there is not a tee ever made that will get the ball high enough to allow this to ever happen again.

Played Burapa today with the missus and bad attitudes prevailed everywhere. It may be that the 3 day weekend holiday for Chulalonghorn day had worn the staff out but what the hell that is what they are paid for methinks. Arrived at 9.30am for a 10am Tee time but by the time you have changed and walked the half mile to pay desk you need half an hour to get to the starter desk anyway. You get your caddie in the car park and it was not until we had got them that I realised that A.M. had the same lazy bitch that Lobin had last time we played there two weeks ago but by then it was to late

Oz ones are fine Taxi but only if you can find Silk Cut which I have seen in Oz. If not Siver then dont buy them please. Cheers Doggie and just about to write up my Burapa report from today. See you Sunday buddy and safe flight as well.

You got it in one Doggie but it didn't seem to spoil your enjoyment last time. LOL.

Thanks Moby. Reason is that there are several golfing Brits who are good mates over next week and a few of them already said they would support the Kids Beach Party also.

I am or will start to run short of my cigarettes in the foreseeable future so I hope none of you mind me asking for some help in getting some over here. Duty free at any UK airport sells Silk Cut Silver in either 200 or 400 packs. The 400 packs are about £34.00 which is quite a saving on UK shop prices and £20.00 for the 200's. I would really appreciate any help you can give me here and for every 200 pack any of you are kind enough to get me I will add 500 Baht to the "Beach Kids Day" appeal that is currently running at the top of the members board. The 500 Baht's will be credited to you

Doggie. That was going to be my only day off now you have ruined it for me. You and me can take my car and we have to go home via the reservoir if you get my drift. LOL. Right off to pick up my new secret weapon from Harold.

Thursday has become our golf outing day with Lobin, Lobert, Tony and me making up a 4 ball at various venues. Today it was due to be Pattaya Country Club but as we drove adjacent to the course it was obvious that it was bloody busy so around the roundabout we go and follow Lobert and Tony to a different course. I should mention that Lobin has pissed off to Cambodia after receiving news that K11 had reopened and I am sure he will post his trip report soon. Across the countryside we go as I follow Tony with Tony knowing the way. Not. Tony blames Lobert for saying right during a phone co

I said to ignore this bloody post as I posted it twice in error. It was not a trick question.

Hey Pie. I think I remember enterring A.M. ????

LOL.

Well aparently she was at least 30. It had been a game fraught with unsportsman like behaviour but we put this down to Lobin having had, shall we say, an energetic night, for someone in his twilight years. The day started badly when at 9.55am I called him to ask where he was and lo and behold the fucked out old sod was still in bed. So we arrived at Burapa somewhat late and his partner Lobert was already on his fifth cup of coffee by then and not looking that friendly. By the 5th Tony and me were 3 up and by the ninth the first bet was not only secure but the back nine was looking pret

Asia is a 9 home par three course and we play it quite often. The 4th is particularly challenging as the silly sods planted bloody great big trees in the middle of the fairway and there is no club in my bag capable of getting over them and hitting the green. I assume that the scores mentioned were for over par so doggie managed to get round in 51 strokes. I played it last week and managed a 46 doggie. lol. Anyway the day after that I played with Tony against Lobin and Lobert on a proper course and got thrashed. I really do not get this game. Who said Asia was a rip off? At 440 Baht for 2,

Consider it done mate. Looking forward to seeing the combination when you have to drop your cacks. I also know just the caddy for you.

I will arrange that small thing for you and as you are part of the US team I assure you that your clubs will be of the finest quality with beech wood shafts and solid cast iron heads. Just leave it to me. Seriously. Anyone who needs rental clubs please let us know in plenty of time. It would be awful if the US team had to play their rounds with lady's pitching wedges of which I can get dozens if needs be.

Fucking brill mate.

We played a 5 ball at Kheow last week and I have to admit to having had some major problems including actually connecting with the ball and my caddy had noticed but said very little. The round started off well with a par on the first so following that it was all pretty disheartening. Thanks to doggie however we did win some Baht off Pieman. LOL. By the 13th I was loosing interest completely and on the next par three I took my bloody driver to try and reach the 160 yard green. The ball went sky-wards and after bringing down a passing 747 it reappearing from the clouds and landed 50 yards b

Doggie is not on the board much at the moment and after last night that is no surprise. When the pics go up you may never hear from either of us ever again. LOL. I will answer for him that you will both be very welcome and when you confirm then your tea shirt sizes are required along with you inside leg measurement etc as well. See earlier posts. This is turning into the biggest event we have had so far and still time to up the course numbers if needs be.

That will be the one then Doggie. Dungheap its not the microphone that causes the trouble it is the Black Label. Kev. Will you be wearing undies mate? Urghhhh

Why not? Count us in then but A.M. is unlikely to play golf every day as you would have forseen. May bring her mate to keep her company. Will see you next week for a chat. Oh bliss. 5 weeks now gone and only one week left to go till we get home. Lobbin please PM me the name of the freight company you used for your stuff from S.A.

Hedging my bets here. My grandfather made and lost his fortune in the gold rushes and my family (on me ma's side) all origionate from Canada. I have several times spent 3 months or more in the USA and even once nearly bought a boat to live in in Florida. I also have a good mate who is a doctor in the USA and even shagged a US law student once. On the second time she was pissed and I gave up. Therefore can I make my mind up as to who I play for when the event gets closer?
