Khao Kheow B and C loops were the test today, departure was on time and just 40 minutes to the course.  After a quick check-in it was out to B1 and tee-off 36 minutes early.  The weather was fine with a nice breeze and as Sunday was St. Swithin’s Day we will have much of the same to the end of August.

We had the course in front to ourselves all day with few groups behind.  The B course was in fine condition but C had 5 fairways that were infected with some broadleaf weed-like grass, but other than that the course was quite playable.

Back in the clubhouse after speeding around in 3 hours and 50 minutes we welcomed Charlotte Saaterup from Greenland and Torben Sorensen from Denmark.

Mike Winfield was the winner on the day with 2 birdie chip-ins on the opening nine before fading on the back to finish with 38 points.  Henry Wong took second on 32 points, while Kristin Helgason was third on a count back over Jon Swanson in fourth, both 30 points, and Torben Sorensen took fifth with 38.
