This trip we decided to stay in one place for the two weeks in Thailand so that we wouldn’t be packing and unpacking, wasting days in travelling. At this time of the year, Chiang Mai, in the mountains of Thailand, is meant to be cooler and we know it has a few golf courses for […]
2025 Family Update
Bruce ordered some wine in June and this automatically entered him into a competition to go to an Eagles Big Lunch, just before the Derby, on 25th July. We decided to make it a two day event and went up on the Thursday to play golf at RFGC. When we arrived, we were told that […]
Ban Mai Vintage
It is not often that I would do a post on a hotel we have stayed at, but this one was so quirky that it deserves a post. When we first arrived, we couldn’t find reception since there was so much clutter. When we were taken to our rooms, we weaved our way around clutter. […]
Mountain Creek Golf Club
We left Korat this morning and travelled to Pak Chong. This is only a 1hour 40 minute drive so we stopped at Mountain Creek Golf Club on the way. The people we met at Korat Golf Club weren’t very impressed with this golf course, but their main complaint was the beer prices, so we weren’t […]
Suwan Golf Club
We arrived in Bangkok around 11:30pm so didn’t do much except go to bed. Up early the next morning for breakfast and to catch up with Deb and Neil (our NSW friends that Bruce spent a year with in British Columbia in 1991). After breakfast we went off to Suwan Golf Club. This was about […]
Mission Hills GC Last day in Phuket
After a pleasant late breakfast we left for golf at Mission Hills for 11am game. It was expected to rain all day and we were the last group to hit off. We were met by a young trainee learning English and she showed us where to go, took us to the locker room and escorted […]
Unexpected Abu Dhabi Stopover
On our last day in Athens, our plane was an hour late departing, which wasn’t good given we only had a two hour stopover planned. When we arrived in Abu Dhabi we thought they would race us to the next gate, instead they took us off to the side, gave us new boarding passes for […]
Joondallup Golf Resort – 2023
Last year Bruce went to his first AGM of a company that he owns shares in. Wesfarmers holds theirs in Perth and he had such a good time that this year he convinced Rosie to come along. Jim and Anne thought it would be fun too, so Jim bought some shares so they could also […]
New E-Bikes
Rosie and I are going to start getting a bit more exercise while also travelling around the local sites. Rosie got herself a Gazelle Grenoble c7 e-bike and Bruce bought a Kalkhoff Endeavour. We did a test run into town yesterday and cruised up and down the hill at Basildene. Both bikes have pedal assist […]
2022 Family Update
Life is getting back to normal now, with Covid restrictions mostly gone. It is still tricky to travel overseas but Bruce has decided that it is time to step back into our overseas golf trips and is organising a trip for later in the year to use up our travel credits before they lapse. Bruce […]
