Well I had a dream the other night too. The dream was that I was in the FLB and Ben was buying me loads of drinks without me having to open my wallet. Well I got as rat arsed as he was and we left the place after 2:00 AM when the traffic had started to flow on Walking Street. We were so pissed that we both walked straight under a Baht bus and died. So there I was at the pearly gates and St. Peter (or is it Michael .. I never was religious) said to me " Hey stop you cannot just come in here after the way you led your life, you will have to pay penance first" So I asked what sort of pen

Nidnoyham, Well the guy has never given me any reason not to trust him and I have had quite a bit of contact with him. No dont bother with any syndicate that I am in as I am never lucky, so sorry you wont make a quick buck riding on my glandwagon

Don't mess around go along to East Coast Real Estate opposite Shenanigans Irish Pub and also close to Royal Garden Plaza. Ask for David Gray and tell hime Ray W sent you as I owe him a few drinks for the many favours he has done for me in the past. David is probably one of the most honest falang guys I have met in Thailand and makes his business through good advise and honest trading a very unusual feature for Estate Agents IMHO. He has a Website which will give you all the details http://www.thaiproperty.com/ so go look see.

OKAY OKAY OKAY So it is the quiet season now BUT I must get some funds back on my old Condo which is still rented to me until end of June. So I am desperate to get some funds back so you gain and I lose. It is a two bedrooms, two bathrooms, living room and two balconies 11th floor corner suite at Pattaya Hill Resort which is high above the city commanding excellent views of Jomtien and Pattaya. The big plus is the rental includes ALL electricity and water. It also includes 3 days a week maid service with all bed linen supplied and on top of that Cable TV is also included. There is al

Yep Ban Pekan which is not far before the big service area on the Highway 7 Bangkok - Chonburi motorway. It is about 40Kms from Bangkok at a rough guess. Excellent course, great condition, very flat and lots of water.

Planetwave, no problem mate. Ask Ben and he will contact me. I go out to Green Valley 2 or 3 times a week with some expat mates and different visitors who come over so you are welcome mate unless you smell and fart all over the greens and tees like Ben <GGGG> As to Ian well yes I have heard good reports about him too. He teaches at the Theprassit Road driving range in Jomtien. He uses video techniques whilst Richard Livingstone is a classic old school teacher so depends what turns you on as both have their own advantages and disadvantages. I personally prefer the classic method w

Yep Doggy has a nice swing too. Pity you can't quite see it though ;D

Stoace. Lessons cost usually 600 Baht per hour given by a professional. I thoroughly recommend Richard Livingstone who is an excellent teacher. HE is 60 and is patient and understanding. He is also a full PGA approved teacher. BEst way to get in touch with him is to turn up at The Haven on Soi 13 at about 17:00 hours on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday and ask for him as he is nearly always there presenting the prizes for the IPGC matches. Hope to maybe see you over christmas then matey. Have a good flight over. Why not start some preliminary lessons over where you live (UK or USA

Sorry Deuce but Doggie tells me it is a condition of you playing in the RideHer cup and anyway it would be very rude for you to refuse a present ;D ;D ;D ;D So the balls will be waiting for you with Ben if I do not get to personally plant them on your personage. [smiley=hithead.gif] [smiley=grin.gif]

Duece I have a nice little packet of Nike Lake balls for you. They are special water seeking editions so you should feel at home with them. ;D I will leave them with Ben for you to pick up as it is highly unlikely I will be able to make it to the event. Anyway hope you have a great day, and that also goes for Doggie, Hilly, AM and everyone else playing.

covered with crabs, warts and god knows what else!

Grendel, I don't think we have met matey but I will try and get Deuce some choice balls and leave them with Ben. These will be special RayW balls chosen with loving care, non-floating but designed to seek the nearest water. ;D Doggie my old mucker, well I will e-mail you that caddy number. I assume it was the one I had that was joking about my repeated scores of 7 on every hole whether a par 3, 4 or 5. You never know there is an outside chance I will make it but it is extremely unlikely now. I wish the European team every success though 8)

Doggie, Yep I think I remember that day you were still pissed from the night before and playing at Khao Kheo and you did indeed play very well, you b*Stard!! ;D Anyway bad news is that I almost certainly will not make the RideHer cup as I will likely still be up in Yesotone with my TG so best take me off the list matey. Hope that we can still get some games in matey whilst you are here as I should be back by about the 5th or 6th November latest.

IPGC (not IPSC!!) meets out of The Haven, Lewinskis and The Bunker. Also sometimes from Shenanigans. Visit the following website for details http://www.thehaven-hotel.com/golf.htm I have always played out of the Haven where I find the golf is excellent and the company really good, so I have never bothered or feel the need so far to even try the other options. I must say those that play out of the Haven keep coming back for more though. Generally the Haven is for a broad range of golfer who takes his game reasonably seriously. High handicappers are welcome too as long as they are not

Deuce good point mate. US team members please note I will get yu all some lovely Nike lake balls at a nice price too ;D As to the lack of Europeans well I am sorry to have to say it but I think it is due to the high cost of the event. Most Europeans are more strapped for cash and more careful about how much they spend than their American counterparts. I am sure this is a major reason for the imbalance, especially when you consider that their are at least twice as many European members here than Americans. So a question. How many Europeans golfers here would have signed up by now
