The Monsoon Cup It started some 15 years ago with the desire to play golf in Hua Hin (Thailand) and has since become an annual fixture for a group of old boy enthusiasts from a range of cohorts. Self-confessed ‘hackers’ Geoff Potter (’67), Allan Ledger (’66), Kim Craig (’68), Mark Macleod (’73), Bill Price (’62) and Tony Kiernan (’67) travel each year to claim the coveted cup, with the win determined by a mysterious, interesting and challenging handicap called the ChasMac system. “The win is important for its symbolic importance only. There is a small trophy, ‘Green Jacket’ and a few dollars,” said Bill. “My vote is for Hua Hin for the next Old Boys’ Golf Day!” he said. |
