November 2008 Golf Festival

 

Possibly the greatest golf event in all of Asia, the RideHer Cup is now in it’s 7th year. This 5th major will be taking place in Pattaya on Monday 3rd November and will herald the start of a 2-week golf festival in Thailand.

 

This year’s programme is bigger and better than anything that has gone before. We are featuring 3 great tournaments followed by a golf tour to Hua Hin and Loy Krathong celebrations at the fascinating Rose Garden Riverside Resort.

 

Here’s what’s happening:

 

Monday November 3rd – RideHer Cup

 

This event pitches the mighty forces of Europe vs. USA in a four-ball match play format. We accept entries from players of all nationalities – the captains will draw lots to select their international guest players. It all kicks off with the registration party at FLB on Sunday 2nd November at 8pm where the captains will select their teams. Then we leave the Tara Court on Pratamnuk Hill at 0900 on Monday for the tournament at Burapha. Entries are restricted to 48 players. We only have 12 places left so please reserve your place fast to avoid disappointment. It costs THB 3,650 including green fee, buggy, caddy, polo shirt, buffet, transport and prizes. There is a legendary party and prize giving at FLB in the evening with a western buffet.

 

Wednesday November 5th – The Baby Dolls Banana Trophy

 

No – this is not a used banana hunt in the drains of the Jacuzzi! It is a 4 man Texas Scramble at one of the best courses in Thailand – the brand new Siam Plantation Course. Teams of 4 players will compete for the inaugural Baby Dolls Banana Trophy. We will leave from Tara Court at 0900 on Wednesday 3rd and tee off at 10.30. You can enter as a team of 4 players or an individual (we will assign you to a team). The cost is THB 3,550 including green fee, buggy, caddy, polo shirt, buffet, transport and prizes. The party will kick off at Baby Dolls at 8.30 with fun, food and frolics all part of the package!

 

Friday November 7th – The Catz Open

 

This famous event is in its 6th year and is well established in the international golfing calendar. This competition is an individual stabelford format for the Catz Open Trophy with special prizes for longest drive and nearest the pin. This year's competition will be held at Phoenix. Transport will leave the Tara Court sometime between 0945 and 1015 depending on your tee time. The cost is THB 2.950 including green fee, buggy, caddy, polo shirt, buffet, transport and prizes. There will be a party at 8.30 with a pig roast and lots of buffet items.

 

Sunday November 9th to Thursday November 13th – Hua Hin Golf Trip

 

In the past, we have visited the River Kwai, Chiang Mai and Phuket. This year’s trip will see the golfing hordes invade Hua Hin to party and play! Transport will leave Pattaya at noon on Sunday 10th November arriving late afternoon in Hua Hin. The golf programme includes playing the brand new Banyan Course on Monday 10th and the spectacular Black Mountain course on Wednesday 12th. We will have an optional golf day on Tuesday 11th at Palm Hills. Our hotel is located in the heart of Hua Hin so we can enjoy the bars and restaurants in town within staggering distance of your room! On Wednesday 12th we will head for the Rose Garden Riverside Resort to the west of Bangkok for a unique Loy Krathong experience on the riverside. This will include a dinner, 1 hour free flow bar and the traditional floating of krathong on their private riverside garden. Our final golf day will be Thursday 13th when we play the Rose Garden Golf course – a little beauty right across the road from the resort. Then we saddle up for the return to Pattaya.

 

There will be a non-golfers programme for the Hua Hin trip and we are also offering a chance for players and non-golfers to travel from Pattaya to join us at the Rose Garden.

 

There is a separate post in this section with the detailed programme and prices for the Hua Hin trip.
