Chiang Mai Day 1 : The Highland Golf Course

Although pakdokter had played at this course many years ago, pakdokter could not really remember very much about it. The last golf trip to Chiang Mai must have been some 5 or 6 years ago.

The 12 of us made a neat 3 flights of golfers. As in most places in Thailand - each of the golfer had to use one buggy each - there is no sharing business of the buggy here.

pakZaher....suffered from 'overdose' of prescribed medicines

pakShaber, SGC Captain, has lost his old 'sting'...

Pakdokter, fresh from winning the February medal, shocked everybody by putting it 2-on at the first hole. However, pakdokter's game faltered after that, probably due to fatigue, and could not match pakZulRauf, who was in great form. However, the other two in pakdokter's flight played equally bad that at the end of the day, pakdokter and pakZulRauf collected money from pakShaber and pakZaher.

And for the record, pakdokter played to a handicap of 21.

Pakdokter's game came back at the 2nd Nine and managed to earn some money from pakZaher and pakShaber.

Zulkifli Rauf who played to handicap 17 came out the Day 1 winner.
