News & Events

Hello to all our Golf Club friends. At long last, the powers that be have allowed us to do business again. We were given little notice and no direction from the authorities, so for the remainder of June we will be running a limited schedule and menu. Hours of Operation: 1100 till 2200 (or until customers leave). Menu Monday thru Friday : Hamburgers/Cheeseburgers and various savoury sausages cooked to order on the BBQ grill with assorted garnish. Menu Weekend: Steak, Salmon & Pork chops BBQ served with mixed salad . The weekday menu is also available as above. The main kitchen isn't open we will not be able to offer the traditional sides and other dishes. Prices will be adjusted to reflect the changes. While the business has been shutdown we decided to enter into a partnership with Shane Ruddle, a name anyone involved with golf in Pattaya is familiar with. On July 1st Shane's golf company, which consists of the Outback Golf Bar, the Pattaya Amateur Golf Series, Birdie Thailand Handicapping Software, Pattaya Discount Golf Group & TAT licenced Birdie Golf Tours and his partners will become the owners of TGC. The hope is that both the golf and bar/restaurant schedule will return to normal sometime around early to mid-July. Shane's experience and contacts in the Pattaya golf community should bring some exciting new options for TGC golfers. Dale and Meow will continue on as host and hostess. I will help or assist as long as necessary to ensure a smooth transition. This decision was not made lightly by the current team of owners. We all love TGC and did not want it to close. However, we weren't in a position to prop the business up financially, for what is probably going to be a difficult period for small businesses depending almost s0lely on ex-pats. Shane's connections with a huge portion of the local golf community will allow TGC to tap into, and partner with, these other groups to remain a viable golf outlet in the downtown Pattaya area. So please come down and see us the rest of June. By all means, keep your eyes and ears open in July for what we hope will be a new and exciting time for TGC, our customers and our dedicated, loyal golfers. Thanks and best of luck to Shane, Dale and Meow moving forward, Thanks personally from myself to Keith Worboys and Gavin Wright for backing us up in a time of need. I can never thank Steve Snelgrove and Dale Shier enough for their assistance immediately after Steve Ellison's untimely death. They have been instrumental ever since. Whether affiliated with it, or just as regular customers, TGC will always be our local in Pattaya. Thank you for being such loyal customers over the past 12 years and I'm sure you'll continue to support TGC going forward. John McHugh

Fantastic weather for Green Valley Monday . Rainy season has finished and all the courses are beginning to dry out, Green Valley is no exception. The fairways look a little dry with the greens fast and hard. I heard a new guy say today that the design does not have two holes the same. The course did not worry these guys. Peter Thomas UK 46 points off 20 Tommy Balch SLV Tee US 43 points off 31 and our old favourite Peter LeNoury GNR 41 points off 15 and Project Smile near pin Went home on the weekend Dan Dietz and Mike Omiya, thanks for your support on your holiday 11.30 tee time for Pattavia Century Tuesday. One van nearly full except for Pierre who fell ill overnight and could not make the journey. The course presented well. For those abroad the greens in the beginning were short , difficult and fast. The green keepers have this under control now. They leave the grass a little longer which has given the punters greater chance of stopping the ball when above the hole. The Project Smile hole is number 17 and long and not easy. From time to time there is no one on the green. Tuesday two guys not only hit the green but made the putts. The unlucky punter Ian Brimble. Dave Rose US 39 points off 4, bragged to me about no 3 putts Bob Catlow AUS 33 points off 20 Dave Cloke UK Project Smile near pin and made the putt Thursday, one of my favourite courses, Parichat Links . For the first half of the round the course was windy by a club or two. The course continues to improve with the design settled and now completing the final presentation. I describe the course as a thinking man’s course. A single digit player UK thought it was great and wants to play again at the first opportunity. Robbie Taylor AUS 36 points off 13 two with 33 points, Captain and Ken Grimes AUS off 19 Peter Williamson Project Smile near pin and missed the putt Finished the week with a late start at Eastern Star . The weather was a little warmish with a strong breeze for most of the round. The course is very dry and hard giving you great value for low drives with plenty of run. The down fall is the course has plenty of water to catch you if your direction is a little off. The greens were also very hard and tough to read, a heavy reliance on the knowledge of the caddies. The winners circle reflects the difficulty of the course. Blake Hanna CAN 32 points off 18 Nick Fazakerly 29 points off 7 and the Project Smile near pin, to forgetting to mention he made the putt.
