Hi Steve I got your email and you are entered in the competition. See you on registration night. Doggie

Mescalito and Steve O Looking forward to you guys joining us for the Hua Hin trip. One small change to the programme. The tee time at Black Mountain has been brought forward to 0820 so we will leave the hotel at 0715. I couldn't get any tee times between 0900 and 0950. I have adjusted the original post. Plenty of time to sleep on the bus! Doggie

Hi Mike It has all been confirmed now and I am just about to post the full November programme. The Catz Open will take place on Friday 7th November at Phoenix. Please take a look at the November Golf Programme topic in this section. Cheers Callum

Good to hear you are on the mend Tom. Hope the recovery continues well and we will see you dropping your trousers again! All the best from Wi and I.

Got an email from Bald Baz a few weeks ago Bertie. It will be great to see you guys back in the European team. Are you bringing your "sponsored player" with you? I need to know if we need to order an XXXXL! Cheers. Doggie

Timgoose We will be happy to help. Look forward to hearing from you. Doggie

Timgoose Just send me an email to sales@solargolf.co.uk and I will let you know what we have as rentals. I will need to know your dates here in Thailand and where and when you want to play. Happy to organise your golf for you - we can take care of everything - transfers, transport and tee time bookings. Might even be able to fix up for you to join our golf days. Hope to hear from you. Doggie New Solar Golf website. On temporary server for this week.

stevedirtman I am really sorry that we wont see you and Reggie this year. You guys were great fun last year. Haste ye back! Doggie

Hub Thanks for pointing this out. I am sure the culprit will get back to you on this subject! We have employed the services of a highly experienced tour organiser to help run things this year. According to his CV, he organised a European Tour for a large group in his last job so we didn't hesitate to hire him. Doggie

The Catz Open is scheduled for Thursday November 6th. I will announce the course in a couple of weeks - probably Phoenix subject to availability. Hopefully, most of the RideHer Cup players will enter the Catz Open plus a few of you who might not arrive in time for the RideHer Cup. Doggie

Got both of you on the list Steve. I am sure Ian and Matt will do their best to get you a match against Steve O! Doggie

Great news Slobbert! Email on its way to you! Cheers Doggie

Great to have you back Hub and we look forward to welcoming Derek to his first ever RideHer. I will never forget the sight of you holstering your clubs and setting off up the road when we announced your playing partner. A classic! Looks like another great event this year. Doggie

I would go along with your choices in Pattaya. Laem Chabang is always a must and Siam Old Course is probably a better choice than Plantation right now. We played Old Course last week and it was in good condition for the time of year. I have been round Red Mountain in Phuket and I think it will give Blue Canyon some competition. It is a spectacular landscape and has the advantage that you can take buggies. Blue Canyon is walking only. I have not been to Blue Canyon for a couple of years so I can't comment on its current condition. I know there have been some shareholder arguments at Blue Ca

Our recent experience is that Eva are very strict on the 20kg maximum economy baggage allowance. Your golf clubs have to be included in the 20kg max or else they will charge you excess as per their web site. I think KLM are the same but we don't use them much. You can try asking your agent to get you an extar allownace for your clubs - Solar Golf often arrange this for clients that book a package with us. If you are just buying flight only then I don't think you have much chance. BA fly direct and will allow you one set of clubs in addition to your 20kg allowance but they are expensive. Yo

The Rideher Cup 2008 is open for entries! Possibly the greatest golf event in Asia, this prestigious tournament is in it's 7th Year. This matchplay event pitches Europe's finest golfers against the cream of the USA. Mix in a few Aussies and Kiwis, blend with a Thai or two and you have a field of the world's greatest golfers! The event is delicately poised with 3 victories each to Europe and USA. This year's event will take place on Monday 3rd November at Burapha. Once again, European Captain Deuce will be leading his team of finely honed professionals against the USA captained by Grend

Good move Terry! Are you throwing in a free bunch of bananas?

I called in on Monday afternoon after our golf round and again last night for the opening party. Monday afternoon saw a decent group of freelancers hanging around at the tables around the perimeter and a bunch of guys seated at the bar. Most unusual for Pattaya - the guys seemed shy to approach the girls despite the injection of 30 baht alcohol. It seems that they need to "learn the drill" for drinking in a freelancer bar. Or maybe the 30 baht alcohol catches their attention more than no barfines to pay! The place is really comfortable to hang out. A good breeze blows through and it is

The 2007 RideHer Cup Golf Match - 5th November 2007 Burapha Golf Club USA vs. Europe (including some representatives from the rest of the world) Welcome to the 2007 RideHer cup - the only golf competition where having fun is more important than how you play! Everyone is welcome to join in the fun, even if you are a terrible player. Here are the arrangements and rules for the event with an explanation of the handicap calculations. Your entry fee of 3400 baht includes golf shirt, transport, green fees, caddy fees, buggies and the evening party with prizes. Caddy tips are not in

I have updated the post with the entries for the RideHer Cup. Catz is still to be updated but both events are full. No problem if you want to be on the waitlist. Just post here and then show up at FLB on 4th November. If there are any no-shows the waitlist players will be entered. Cheers Doggie

I have finally made it to a location with broadband! Here is the entry status for the RideHer Cup 2007. These are all the entries I have received either on this board or by email. Handicaps are shown where I have been given them by the entrant. USA Grendel - USA Captain Mescalito 7 Clint 28 BKK Bob 40 19 Golfermike 14 Vic 14 Khun Jack 14 Eugene 20 Saigon Butterfly 18 Hub 17 Chicago Bob Las Vegas Paul 28 86 Tiger 16 Joe Demming 20 Steve Man 15 Europe Deuce Captain 15 Big Brian 24 Softrabbit 20 Priory 20 Paul Peddelty 15 Hilly 28 Smiffy 28 Even Stephen 28

Laem Chabang for 2500 including cart????? That is impossible at the normal rates in high season. The only time you will see a rate like that is on a sport day in low season when the course offers a green fee of 850 baht on one day in the week. The sport days end in October. Doggie

Hi all! I have been lost in the Scottish mist without reliable internet access! Apologies to all for the long silence! I am back "doon sooth" tomorrow and should be online properly the following day to post an entry list. The event is nearly full with the 48 player limit getting near! Cheers from sunny St Andrews!
