Fun Golf In Pattaya, Not For The Serious Golfer.

Fun Golf with PCEC

A new golfing group has been formed that plays on Tuesdays at Plutalong. If you are a PSC member it costs B700 for green fees and caddy fee plus tip. Carts are optional, rental clubs available, transportation provided if needed. We meet for breakfast at Canterbury Tales on Soi Chaiyapoon next door to Crazy Dave’s. No handicaps are used, declared or allowed. Nobody will ask you what you shot on that last hole because “honors” goes to the first one who tees up. In US we call it “ready golf”.

There are no 2’s, closest to the pin, or longest drives that might embarrass the average golfer. If you are used to shooting 120 or 80 this is the place to come out and enjoy amateur golf with a bunch of fun loving guys who like to laugh and have fun. We play a format called “Bingo, Bango, Bongo”. Each group only competes with their own group, 3 points per hole, thus Bingo, Bango, Bongo. Bingo point goes to the first one on the green from the farthest away from the green. Bango point goes to whichever golfer is closest to the pin once everyone is on the green. Bongo point goes to whoever makes the longest putt.

It does not matter how many strokes it took you to reach the green, nor, how many putts it took you to sink the longest putt, you still will win the point. We do have a few variations to the Standard PGA rules.

Examples. (*with no penalty)** Penalty, you cannot win a Bingo point with that shot

• *Lift, clean and place within 12” allowed anywhere.

• *Local rules of the course apply.

• ** 1 Mulligan (tee up and hit again) allowed on every hole only if 1 of these apply.

1. If it didn’t go past the ladies tee.

2. It went into the water.

3. It went into the deep rough.

4. It went OB

• ** you are allowed to pick up your ball at anytime and move it to where you wish it had landed but didn’t.

• ** If you put the ball in the water and don’t want to waste another ball OK to drop on other side of the water.

• ** If you are in a sand trap with a high lip and you are having a difficult time getting out, it is OK to pick it up and throw it out if you want.

There are a few more slight variations to the rules but the best way to find out is to come out and join us. Remember the purpose of this group is to have fun, get some sun and exercise. It is not to learn the rules of golf or to embarrass anyone because of their stroke count.

Hey Bob,

Finally my first post on this forum.

I will be spending a fair bit more time in Pattaya in the near future due to my job in Lao and would love to join in the fun that one of these days seems. Golf has been a hobby of mine that I always seem to forget every now and again....haha

I'll be in touch.
