MONTHLY MEDAL BANGPAKONG RIVERSIDE

June

Arriving at the course I thought I had come to the wrong place as it was so quiet. New member Tyson went one better and managed to turn up at Royal Lakeside we’ll forgive you this once (lucky we don’t have a long drive prize). It was quite obvious that our members were not going to spend money at the course this month and most signed in but did not order breakfast. It seemed quite eerie without the usual sparrows chatter and anticipation of the game to come.
