On the Asian Tour, Dufner, Schwarzel, and many Asian  blokes tee it up for 3/4 million US$. Duf says his wife wants to ride the elephants and he looks forwards to winning and visiting the tourist sites of north Thailand. Don't know if he can have both. Old guys get in free to watch. :dance:

Game's on at the Alpine Golf Resort, 30 miles SE of Chiang Mai.  CM about 375 miles north of Bangkok, 1 hr 15 by air or 10 hrs via car over winding  and older roads. Weather forecast very mild, warm dry days (85*F) and cooler nights. Sunny, very small chance of rain any day.

Update.  The cut set at plus 2, !!!, thereby allowing CSchwartzel in for the weekend and the prize money. Leader, after 2 rounds, at -11. Of course board dominated by Asians from many lands, but JDufner at -6. Many players have good game but lacking experience on final days so we will see how it goes today.

Rory shot -2 each day (that would be Rory Hie, from Indonesia).  Guys from Thailand,  Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India, Phil Islands, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, Switzerland, Oz, USA....etc. and most looking to take the next step forward on a very uphill career path.

Winner is Rashid Khan of India, shooting 4 rounds in the 60's and total one better than local Thai and fellow Indian. JDufner shot 66 final day to tie for 6th place at 6 behind leader.

Khan is 23 yeards old and is very slight of build. It's a wonder he can hit the ball as far as he does.   This is his first win outside India and 2nd pro win. Winner gets US$125K, a huge bankroll for youngster from India. Look for a good career.

Final day had a 45 min rain delay but finished in late afternoon with lovely Thai girls parading with dressed Elephant to  present the trophy to Khan.

    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
