Highlands
On a "will it, won't it " rainy sort of day, nineteen golfers turned up to a damp and wet underfoot Highlands.
Four groups of 4 and one group of 3 set out onto the spongy course. A few highlights out of many lowlights was Jack playing the first nine extremely well making the turn just
one over, unfortunately laspse of concentration and soggy feet took there toll on the back nine, another couple of steady players Shane and Nongkaew managed to play to the conditions playing both nines well and came in with 38 points respectively, closely followed by Keith with 36 points, well done to all.
One of the major highlights came from a very new member Marvin Hoffman after having scored a good net 69 at Lanna and remarkably a points haul today of 47, well done Marvin.
Thanks to those that turned up today and look forward to seeing you again on Thursday Doi Inthanon 8-30am
