A group of local Expat golfers decided some six months ago to form the Buriram Golf Society. The gentlemen involved were playing at the KHAO KADONG 9 HOLE GOLF CLUB, the only golf club in Buriram, on a regular social basis. They felt that a friendly competitive format would add to their enjoyment of the game.
The next move was to organize a handicap system based on the stableford format. The group of friends led by Peter Dempsey had already organized three successful Texas Scramble competitions by this stage and found that a number of other golfers wanted to join their society.
This week they launched their new logo and made available their new polo golfing shirts.

The society treasurer Lindsay Walden (pictured) confirmed his thanks to sponsors for their kind contributions to get the society started on a sound footing. Sponsors include:
The inaugural Captain Neil, handicap secretary Tony Murphy, away tournaments manager Colin Bradwell along with their dedicated committee are planning more tournaments in the coming months as well as away days and their normal weekly competitions.
A group of the society players head off next week for a two day trip to Korat to play at The Thai Royal Air Force course and ay the Korat Country Club. The players will be competing for the Tour Trophy.
