The two-day 2016 Pattaya Sports Club Golf Championship was held on 5 & 8 January at the Khao Kheow Country Club with 108 golfers competing in the event. The course was, as ever, in excellent condition and most of the players comments reinforced that view.
The organizers would like to thank the management & staff of Khao Kheow for agreeing to host this tournament in the middle of high season and at such a reasonable price.
The dinner and presentations were held at Dicey Reilly’s in Pattaya on Saturday evening, January 9 with a very good crowd in attendance.
