Golf Trip to Phuket – November 2006


Recommended Posts

For the last 2 years, I have organised a golf excursion in November. In 2004 we went to the River Kwai area and last year it was Chiang Mai. For the 2006 golf trip I am proposing that we go to Phuket – a fun destination with some top class courses.

 

The plan is to depart on Sunday 12th November and to return to Pattaya on Thursday 16th November. Here is an outline programme for the golf trip:

 

Sunday – Fly from Utapao airport direct to Phuket. Stay 4 nights in Patong

Monday – Golf at Loch Palm Golf Club

Tuesday – Optional round at Blue Canyon Country Club – Canyon Course

Wednesday – Golf at Mission Hills Resort.

Thursday – Return to Pattaya

 

I am recommending we stay in Patong because there are plenty of bars and restaurants. The golf courses are all within 40 minutes drive and there is plenty to do in Patong for the non-golfers during the day. I have only included 2 rounds of golf in the package because some of you might like to take a day to visit the surrounding islands. I will be pleased to organise this – we have a reliable company that I used on my last trip.

 

I am budgeting around 20,000 for the golfers. This includes:

 

Hotel accommodation

Return flight from Utapao – I will charter an aircraft if there are enough of you.

All transfers

Green fees and caddy fees

 

Right now, I need to know who is interested before I make any bookings. Please let me know before the end of August because I will need to organise the flights. I also need to know if you want to take a girlfriend or wife with you. I will need their names to book the flights so you might want to think carefully about that! Last minute additions or name changes will be impossible. We will also need to have advance payment. This will be done through Solar Golf (Thailand) Ltd. Can you also please let me know if you will want to play the optional round at Blue Canyon.

 

Phuket is a more expensive destination than Chiang Mai or River Kwai but I am hoping we can keep the costs around 20,000 baht for the package. The final price will depend on the numbers.

 

Who is interested in this trip? Remember to post before the end of August if you want to be there. And don’t forget to let me know if you will be taking a guest with you.

Doggie,

Please count me in along with my non-playing(golf that is) masseuse.

 

Just the two rounds for me.

 

Thanks

Ok, here’s my dilemma, I want to go and I might want to take a special someone, but I have no idea who that might be, and probably won’t till at least 3 days before we would leave. I understand the real world logistics. The trip back to Pattaya, would that also be Utapao or via Bkk? Let me know more of the details as it firms up and the dates to have deposits in by.

No problem Gren.

 

Just leave it with me and I will choose one for you. It will be a nice surprise at the airport!

 

You trust me dont you?

Doggie,

 

Thanks for being so considerate, but after carefully considering your offer I'll have to pass. If there are any katoy's in my future, they should at least be katoy’s that I got fooled by, not that you picked to play with me.

 

By the way, anyone know where the trophy is??? :unsure:

 

Hahaha.

What trophy is that Gren?????

 

Surely the RideHer Trophy hasn't been on another world tour?

 

We need it back in Pattaya on 5th November.
