Pattaya’s Lions Club hosted a party to announce the results of the Sirindhorn’s Cup Golf Tournament on Monday, September 12, with the evening also including an auction and many other highlights to raise funds for charity.
The golf tournament was held at Siam Country Club earlier in the day with the field split into three main flights, A, B & C, with two separate flights for the Ladies and Seniors. The format for the day was stroke play with count backs deciding the final placings in the event of a tie.
