Results of the Free Tournament. We introduced the art of Bingo, Bango, Bongo to some new players one of whom placed in the final four. Mini and he tied for 3rd place and the both insisted I get a picture of both of them together as there is such a contrast in their sizes. The other picture is of the winners and the sponsors of the tournament. Keep a eye on this site as we plan on doing this "free tournament" monthly. Thanks to all who participated and to Rabbi who provided a free spread of food after the event at Rabbi's Bar.

This weeks winners and one honorable mention. OB and Tony are regular players and regular winners but the 3rd person in the picture has played with us every week since we started and no matter if we put him in group A, B or C he comes in dead last, but this week was and exception, John S came in 2nd 1 shot behind Tony and the winner was not decided until the last hole as John was 3 points behind going into 18 and already had set a personal record having recorded 3 points on 1 hole in the front 9, then topping that record with another hat trick on the back 9. You could see visions of turning pro running around in his head if he could score 3 on the last hole he would tie for the win. But alas it was not to be as he only scored 2 of the 3 points. Well done John!

I will try deleting cookies and see if that helps, changing ISP's is not practical as I am using my 1-2 call for access, granted technically slow but I move around from Phoenix house, Pattaya house, Bird shop and Udon house so not practical to have multiple ISP conections. Next time I will try posting from Rabbi's bar with his wireless and see if that makes a difference.

I post information weekly about my Bingo Bango Bongo golf group. I post on 4 other boards and for the past month +- I have a difficult time uploading the post even with small pictures. The other boards load just fine. Am I the only one with problems or do any other members have problems. I am using 1-2 call phone modem, but the other boards load fast, no problem. PT takes 3-5 tries and takes more time than the other 4 put together.

Free tournament (no entry fee and cash prizes). This is your opportunity to learn BBB golf and win some prizes and free food after wards. The sponsor's are putting up the prizes and if we have 20 or more players the prize pool will double so come have fun.

this week's winners, only 2 groups this week and I was unable to play so no report from me. The winners were Oregon Bob and Hawaii Tim. Watch this forum for announcement of Free Tournament next Thursday the 18th.

I want to give a testimonial to this product. I bought a case to test with my dogs and the 1 rai that they occupy. It works great. I have a tic problem on the farm and when I sprayed the dogs that were infested with tics the problem immediately went away. I also have a problem with flys and ants and this took care of those problems. Last thing is I had a giant hornet flying around in my house a couple of nights ago and a few atomized sprays of ECO and it died in the corner somewhere. Great stuff and I feel safe using it around my dogs and parrots.

If you find the culprit let me know, I will be happy to post bail.

This month's high point scorer's Hawaii Bob4you won by just a point and this week we announced a free tournament will be played on Thursday the 18th with cash prizes to the 3 top winners and prizes for hole in one, Albatross, Eagle, Mulligan, birdie and not entry fee to join us. High scores will be based on BBB points so no handicap needed, in fact no real stroke count needed except for hole in one, Albatross, Eagle, Mulligan, birdie. We will have one of our regulars in each group to verify scores. Also pictured are the sponsor's Mini and Rabbi.

This weeks winners and report from A group. Hawaii Tim is back with us after 6 weeks in Hawaii and won first place in his group, I move up to group A from C and finished dead last. The day started out bad with lightening and thunder on the way to the course and it was raining when we got there. We moved to the club house for breakfast and decision on how to proceed. At 10 o'clock the fairways looked like a overhead shot of Minnesota (land of lakes) and the sand trap in front of the clubhouse was so full of water you could hardly see sand. Not very promising but at 9:45 we made a executive decision to wait until 10:30 to decide to pay our green fees (no rain checks allowed). At 10:10 rained slowed, fairways started to drain and you could see sand in the traps so @ 10:25 we paid our fees and headed to the first tee. The first 3 holes things were quite soggy, including my golf shoes but we had a lot of free drops because of standing water. By the fourth hole the sogginess abated except for my golf shoes. By the end of the 4th holes my sole fell off and I played the rest of the 18 holes with 1 shoe and sock and 1 bare foot. What a mistake that was. I always wear socks even with sandals and never need to wear suntan lotion when playing golf. Well my foot had never seen sunlight and I ended up with 3rd degree burns on one foot from the ankle down to my toes. Ouch 4 days of drenching it in Hydrocortosine cream with Aloe I can finally put my shoes and socks on without grimacing. Oregon Bob won in our A group hands down, in fact with 3 holes to go he had tied the record for the best point score for `18 holes already amassing 21 points, at that point he felt the pressure and the rest of us would not let up and managed to hold him to only 1 point the last 3 holes. All in all a memorable performance by one of our regular players with the nickname OB. I hope to see some new faces tomorrow and am happy to announce we have lined up a couple of sponsors (Mini of Mini's Aviary and Rabbi of Rabbi's Elephant bar)who will be paying for shirts for the monthly winners and sponsoring tournaments with no entry fee and cash prizes for the winners. Watch this sight for details.

I just finished the Aussie Big breakfast at Rabbi's Elephant Bar. 2 eggs (I like scrambled, and here they throw in onions N/C) any way you want them 2 toast (butter, jam, vegemite, peanut paste (peanut butter to us Yanks) 1 American Bacon 1 large sausage baked beans or spaghetti french fries freshly made espresso coffee orange juice real HP sauce and Lea & Perrins Worchestershire sauce All this for B100 and if you join us for Bingo, Bango, Bongo golf on Tuesday there is even a 10% discount. Rabbi's is located on Soi Boukao almost at corner of soi 21 heading towards Pattaya Klang from Soi Lenkee

Yes, PSC is good if you are not going with a group, the bar groups and groups like Solar make package deals with the clubs no need for PSC.

It has been a couple of years since I stayed at the Manhattan but when I did it was the best value for the money in the area. Better rates on line then if you walked in.

Get a PSC (Pattaya Sport Club) membership. Best rates unless Solar has negotiated a better deal when you go with him. I think it cost B600 or less for a year and you make it up the first time or two you play.

This week's winners, only 2 of 3 could stay for picture but we had our regular group of a dozen players. Next week is the last week of our monthly contest for August and since we passed on one holiday Tuesday only 3 weeks for qualifying. Come join us tomorrow or any Tuesday that you want a relaxing day of fun golf. I did manage to break 100 for the second time this year with a 98, but still not eligible for PSC handicaping as it included 2 mulligans and 1/2 dozen gimmies beyond the grip when someone made the "bongo" point.

Near corner of Soi 21

Green Fee B350, Cart (not shared) B400, Caddie Fee B220, Club Rental B300 or I have a set of Ram's B200, caddie Tip at end b200 & up to you. Round numbers B1500 as I usually by the caddy a couple of drinks around the course.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Notice, no golf this week as it is another Thai holiday, but the bars will still be open. We don't want to pay holiday rates, nor be stuck behind the Thai 6 ball groups. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Report from last week on group C. We started with 4 of us behind group B with 3 players, but on the first T Aussie Tim hit his drive over the heads of group B, we made him move up to that group, he would have made the rest of us look bad as none of us hit further than 150 yards from the T on that hole hand he went about 250. We started on the West 9 and finished on the South 9. The North 9 is closed for a few months, both installing sprinklers like they did on the other 27 and doing a lot of landscaping. That means without the island green most of us loose 1-3 fewer balls each week. :hello09: We had a tight grouping all the way to the last hole, Oregon Bob was leading by a point or 2 most of the game, but Hawaii Bob snuck up on him and sealed the win on the last hole by making a 8' putt that had a carry-over point on it. See you all in 10 days, come join us.

July's monthly winner was Mitch, beating 2nd place finisher with 74 points vs 71.25 points. Congrats Mitch. This week's winners. It was a tight race for each group, so tight that 2 Bob's (Oregon Bob & Hawaii Bob) tied in Group C.

Last week's winners. I was in one of the groups and Ed (the winner) scored 2 birdies with chip-ins from 10 yards off the green and another from 50 yards off the green. Quite remarkable shots. It was another nice day but the course is still in pretty rough shape.

This week's winners. It has been a long time since I won in my group, but finally did this week. It cost me a beer for pressing on the back 9 against 2 worthy opponents. We usually have a small group or about a dozen people and a winner in each group. We have a lot of fun and constantly have new people joining us and they always swear to return next time they are in town along with the expat regulars who live here. Read the first posting for information on how the rules (or lack thereof) go. If you enjoy practicing on the golf course and not at the driving range this is the place to do it. If any of you need a set of clubs I have a extra set to loan at B200. Remember we now meet at Rabbi's Elephant Bar at 8am or at the course at 9:30 for a 10:00 am tee of, no reservations required.

No, never too bad, we will help you speed up your play, and have fun doing it. Yes I agree driving range is a total bore. This is comparable to being on driving range but fun at same time.

This week's winners, come out and join us on Tuesdays, no reservations required, no handicaps used. Meet at 8am for breakfast at Rabbi's Elephant bar or at the course (Plutoluong) at 9:30. Come have fun. I now have a extra set of clubs for rent for B200 let me know if you want me to bring them.

Our monthly winners for June, 1st Place was Steven, 2nd Mitch, and 3rd was Mini, congratulations to them. There was only 2 points separating 1st and 2nd place, a close race for a month of playing.
