Golf Society seeking new members

Post by HarryVardon »

LVGS is a golf society that plays every Monday & Friday morning at Imperial Lake View golf course in Hua Hin/Cha Am. There are also some Wednesday games and a few trips to Ratchaburi & Kanchanaburi each year. We are a mixed sex group with handicaps from high to low. Although most of us are retired we do have some working members. We always play competitions and handicaps are maintained for all members. The aim of the group is to enjoy ourselves, who wins and who loses is not really important. We do however play strictly to the rules of golf with a few local rules specific to golf in Thailand.
We need a few extra members, preferably people living permanently in Hua Hin and surroundings. People only living here for a few months a year are also welcome. We are very supple about allowing guests to play with us (even if they are not introduced by a member).
If anyone is interested in joining us then please send an email to hhlvgs@gmail.com.

Hi Do you have to be a member at Lake view?
If not what are the green fees for each competition?

Thanks for the quick reply. I will have a chat with my golf partner and see what he thinks.

Hi Harry

What is the green fee after the festival?

The great things about golf societies is that they can go to a club and say--We will bring 24 golfers to your course every Tuesday for the next 12 months, now give us a price for the 1200 green fees. They have great bargaining power.This works so well in Pattaya.

After the festival ours guests get a 50% reduction on the green fee charged for non-members. That is normally about 2,800 (1,400 for our guests).
