Conference golf tournament at Laem Chabang
This year’s conference features the inaugural STMIA golf tournament. I’m really looking forward to this, and I’ll be looking to make some birdies too.
To sign up for the golf tournament, which is limited to 144 participants, indicate your participation on the registration form, or contact the Thai GCSA directly to reserve your place.
Here are the details.
- Shotgun start on Tuesday, March 10, at 13:00 on the A-B courses of Laem Chabang International Country Club, after the morning field day and lunch at the same venue
- Individual competition, with post-round handicap calculation by the System 36 method
- Entry fee 4,000 THB per person including caddy, cart, and green fee
- A multitude of prizes, which include low gross, low net, women’s flight, men’s flights A, B, and C, based on handicap of 0–12, 13–18, and 19–24, and a special award for the worst score
- closest to the pin prize on two holes
- hole in one prize on two holes
- long drive prize on two holes
- men playing off the white tees and women off the red tees
- multiple tee stations from sponsoring companies
And how about the grass types we will be playing on? How’s this for a combination! The A and B courses at Laem Chabang include nine holes with Tifeagle and nine with Tifdwarf on the greens, nine holes with Zeon fairways and nine with seashore paspalum (or pasmuda), and the original bermudagrass rough. Tees I think are paspalum. Not only is this a chance to have fun, win prizes, make birdies, and enjoy time with industry colleagues, but we can also see a lot of variety when it comes to golfing surfaces as well.
