World Handicapping System (WHS) Planene og forarbeidet for å innføre dette systemet som er foreslått av både R & A og USGA er gradvis blitt innført og godtatt rundt om i verden, men enda ikke introdusert i alle land, inklusiv Thailand.

The AGM of 2020 took place on 11 February, and 25 of our members were present at this annual meeting. The financial report was explained by the treasurer and the president reported on the past year. No proposals had been submitted, neither by the board nor by the members. An award was also given to the winners of the Club Championship, Kolbjorn Moe as the new Club Champion, and Glenda Ferguson as the ladies winner. Our president, Hans Ewalts, announced his departure from the board, now that his term has expired. He no longer thought it logical to be part of the board of a golf club, while neither he nor his wife are still playing golf. Mark Ferguson has applied as a member of the board and has been unanimously elected. We would like to welcome him to the board. In the short term, a board meeting will be convened where the positions in the board (President, Secretary, Captain and Treasurer) will be divided for the new term. After all the official parts, there was room for discussion, after which we all enjoyed a delicious meal at the Katang restaurant. We would like to thank all those present for coming. The official minutes will soon be sent to all members via email. Below you will find a number of photos of the AGM. Some of us had already read it in the reviews online, Suwan Golf Resort truly is one of the most beautiful and pristine courses around. But also one of the hardest. It would take quite some practising to come to a good score here, which is reflected in the results. Still, some knew how to perform better than others. And therefore we have a new Club Champion 2020: Kolbjorn Moe !  Kolbjorn was first of the men on countback, Knut Greasli was a close second, also with 32 points. Also a new winner for the Ladies this year: Glenda Ferguson won with 19 points, followed by Lene Rosenstand with 17 points.  Here are some pictures for you to download: Posted by Paul Graff
