Baan Dee Thee Din Dee 2 win mini golf tourney
10,000 baht awarded for hole in one
Baan Dee Thee Din Dee 2 won a recent mini golf competition
held at Inter Minigolf, held to celebrate the first ever hole in one at the
difficult 8th hole.
The competition winners and runners-up received free
tickets for more mini golf rounds, but the true winner, and the reason
behind the competition, was Chanikarn Poomyong, who earlier achieved a hole
in one and earned 10,000 baht for her feat.

hole from Andre Savare.
In all, 10 teams entered the competition, with each
player hopeful of scoring another 10,000 baht cheque too, as Swiss managing
director Andre Savare and his wife Uthaivan, who have put their hearts into
building their dream course on the way to San Kamphaeng, said the hole in
one competition will be held daily on the 8th hole.
Competing teams came from Radio Thailand (first runner-up
at the end of the day), VR Group, Fokomo Makazine team (second runner-up),
Baan Dee Thee Din Dee 1, Baan Dee Thee Din Dee 2 (the champions), SP
Publishing, Chiangmai Mail, Now Magazine, and one more team made up from
visitors.
Team winners were awarded free tickets for more mini golf
rounds, whilst individual winners took home cash prizes and trophies.
Good
advice from all those watching was freely available!
As a ‘draw card’, 10,000 baht is hard to beat, and
the smile on winner Chanikarn Poomyong was a winner in itself.
