Look forward to the Bangladesh entry Steve O! The Ashes have come home. Doggie

Deuce Replace the tart with a bottle of Cuban Gold and that cartoon looks remarkably like my old partner D'Artagnan. Two to the rake and then sink a downhill 12 footer for the birdie and the half! Doggie

Softrabbit Good news about your tickets. I will make sure you are entered for the Catz Open as well. I am planning to organise a few additional golf days that I will post as a new topic on the forum. Here's the plan as it currently stands, including the additional golf days: November 1st The golfers that are in town meet up early evening for a drink and I can run through the golf programme before we go out on a bit of a prowl. November 2nd A friendly warm-up round at Phoenix - the venue for the RideHer Cup. If there are enough players interested, I can arrange for our golf

English You have just failed your MI5 test! Everyone here knows that this is a photo of the last RideHer Cup that you have grabbed from the gallery. We forgive you. I assume you are the one wearing the yellow jacket because I know the golfer in the picture. Ding dong bell! Glad there's no hard feelings and we can have a laugh together on RideHer Cup night. Doggie

All Chiang Mai trip members. Can you please email me your full name plus the name of your companion for booking purposes. I will need these to get the e-tickets issued. Taxi has enquired about a room upgrade. I will be meeting the hotel in a few weeks so I will get rates for the upgrade then. My email is bertiewon@yahoo.co.uk Doggie

The Chiang Mai Golfers list Here is the current list of golfers (and non-golfers) who have registered for the November Chiang Mai trip. Hilly and Ann Marie Pieman Steve O plus 1 non-golfer (return from Chiang Rai on 19th) Big Brian Big Kev Fornicator Taxi plus 1 non-golfer Softrabbit (arranging his own flights) Bob 4 you plus one non-golfer (non-golfer joining in CM) Pakawala Doggie There are a number of others who have expressed an interest but have yet to make a decision. When you are ready, just let me know. There has not been enough interest in travelling there in

With just 2 months to go until the RideHer Cup, here is the latest entry list. We now have 33 confirmed players and a few more still to confirm. It is the biggest RideHer Cup yet. I have booked 10 tee times at Phoenix and I can add more if the entries top 40.

Welcome Simon B. I have added you to the list. E mail address is not compulsory but it helps if you want me to send you a copy of the rules when I publish them. You can send me a pm with your email address. Are you also interested in joining the Chiang Mai trip? Cheers Doggie

English It is a pity you have been offended by my innocent remark. If you are going to participate on this forum and, more importantly, if you are going to play golf with many of the board members, you need to get used to the friendly banter that will be thrown around. In your post, you described yourself as " I am not very tall but I have a big fat gut ". That, my friend, makes you a short fat bloke. Your definition - not mine. My suggestion to you is to lighten up and get off your high horse. There is no apology necessary from me. If and when you play golf with the guys, there will b

We will be pleased to register your entry English. I assume from your name that you want to play for the USA. They are a bit short of high handicappers! Seriously, I am sure the European captain will be delighted to have your services. For the Polo Shirt, I recommend an XL. That is usually about right for short fat blokes like you. Make sure you remember what size you ordered when you come along on the Sunday night! You will meet a lot of golfers who will be in town for the RideHer Cup so I am certain you will not be short of invitations to join in with them. If you want to make new fr

Golfer You will not be disappointed with Gussan - it is a splendid course but very difficult. I would not recommend it for anyone above 18 handicap. It is a combination of fairway, jungle and water. If you dont hit the fairway with your drive then just hit 3 off the tee. However, it should not be a problem for a golfer of your calibre. It is a pity you can't make the RideHer Cup but you will enjoy good golf in Chiang Mai. If you are playing 11 courses then I imagine you are including Chiang Rai in your trip. Or maybe you are like Big Kev and describing dinner! Hub, nice to see your

Brian If we get business class on Nok we will be fine. They have a 30kg allowance. I am currently planning to have one car leave Pattaya on Saturday so there is also the possibility of getting some clubs up there with that car. Will advise nearer the time. Doggie

Sailfast I can arrange rental clubs for the period you are in town. This is much cheaper than renting per round. Just let me know whether you are left or right handed and your preference for steel or graphite shafts. They might not be brand name but I find it makes bugger all difference. I can sometimes get Honwa which are excellent clubs. Also let me know if you need airport pick up organising. We can send either a 4 wheel drive (up to 3 golfers) or a mini bus (up to 6 golfers - 8 at a push). I can send you prices if you PM me. Doggie

Priory Thanks for the confirmation and welcome to your friend. We are especially pleased to welcome 14 handicappers to play for Europe! I will be organising some more golf days in Pattaya between 6th and 12th November. A bunch of us are off to Chiang Mai on 13th but there are a few of the guys remaining in Pattaya who will be pleased to join you for a round or two I'm sure. Doggie

Welcome aboard Bob. Glad you can join us and we will book you a double room. Doggie

Thanks for confirming Bob. Is your friend Bill 4 you going to be playing as well? Doggie

Great work Deuce - you have a rare talent! I also appreciated the new avatar that you created for me. You really have them scared now! Doggie

Dungheap I might have a car going from Pattaya to Chiang Mai leaving on the Saturday with a stop over en route. If you want to go by raod, I am sure we can organise something and I may even join you! Doggie

Taxi I think that quite a few of the guys will be bringing girls with them. Chiang Mai is a great place to celebrate Loi Krathong and that is more fun with a girl in tow. We have a girl based in Chiang Mai who looks after our regular golf customers and she will organise a couple of excursions for the girls when the guys are away playing golf. She can also point them in the direction of the right shops to spend your money. I predict that we will probably dine together in the evenings as a large group and then the solo mongers might split off to forage for some local cultural experience.

Thanks for the responses guys. Looks like a great group already! Will try my best to keep the Pieman away from water. Does he have to avoid mirrors and daylight as well? If so, will try to hire a coach to take him back to the Transylvanian Castle (try spelling that after as many beers as I have had tonight) before dawn. I am already resigned to losing my room to the Spoofmeister. Hilly, which mate is AM bringing - the one with the tatoos who is familiar with the Champs Elysee? Hope Big kev manages to hold on to his lunch on the flight! See you next Friday Hi

The 2005 Chiang Mai Golf Trip We are organising a golf trip to the North of Thailand in November 2005. This trip takes place the week after the RideHer Cup when a lot of golfers will be in Pattaya. We have also chosen this week to co-incide with the festival of Loi Krathong which is celebrated in spectacular style in Chiang Mai. The programme for the Chiang Mai golf trip is the following: Sunday November 13th Rendezvous with transport. Depart Pattaya in the morning and transfer by air conditioned coach or minibus to Bangkok airport. Fly to Chiang Mai on a scheduled flight where we

Jambo How did you know I was planning to be in Pattaya at the same time as you? Good season so far for the jam tarts. I have given up on the Jags. We won't even beat Gretna this season. Doggie

Thanks Sailfast. Can you let me know the handicaps for each of your players and nicknames I can use for the entry list? When will you be arriving in Pattaya? We will have a few golf days before and after the RideHer. There is also a trip to play golf in Chiang Mai from 13 to 17 November if you are interested. Cheers Doggie

OK Hilly I will let the captains sort this one out. I am sure they will both be clamouring for your services! Now that you know it is Phoenix, can we rely on you to play more than 7 holes on the back nine? Doggie
