A break from investment- fun with helping kids!

Fun way to help kids
….Charity golf tournament promises to attract the major business players…
A top day in terms of sporting enjoyment, business networking and aid for charity is in store next month when the inaugural Movers & Shakers 2009 golf tournament is held at the Navy’s Plutaluang course near Sattahip. The event is co-sponsored by Town & Country Property, the brokers and developers; JVK, the international movers; and Real Estate Magazine. “September 25 promises to be a great day,” said Town & Country MD, Cees Cuijpers. “We’ll get the chance to enjoy a relaxing outing in the company of old friends and, hopefully, also make a few new ones.” Cees, who by his own admission is “no golfer”, had the idea of combining the event with a meeting of the Lighthouse Club charity which supports the children of construction workers. The day’s golf will be followed by the regular Lighthouse monthly meeting which is being held at the exclusive members-only Royal Varuna Yacht Club on Pratamnak. The club has its own stretch of beach. The golf prizes will be handed out at the Lighthouse function. “Any cash surplus after we have settled up with the golf course and yacht club will be donated to the Lighthouse Club,” said Cees. The format for the golf will be a Texas Scramble where all four players drive off the tee then the best shot is chosen as the start place for each player to take their second shot and so on until the hole is completed. “It’s a fun and friendly format which means that the four players are playing for each other rather than just for themselves,” said Craig Somerville, JVK’s customer relations manager. “We hope to raise a good sum from sponsorship of raffle items and technical prizes like the longest drive, closest to the hole and so on,” said John Black, MD of Pattaya Property Consultants.
John, who is a golfer, though opportunities to play are few and far between thanks to his involvement in property publications here in Pattaya, is keen to hear from companies interested in being involved in terms of sponsorship and/or entering a team. “Numbers will be limited so we can get around the course in a reasonable time. We will be treating players on a ‘first come; first served’ basis,” said John. Cost per player is only Bt 1,250 to include caddy fee and admission to the Lighthouse meeting which offers free “finger-food” and beer and wine while supplies last. The hire of golf buggies will be an optional extra. Events planned for the evening should ensure that even those unable to attend the golf should be in for a good time. Entertainment will be provided by Princess Music and a swimwear show featuring items from the extensive Phuket Mermaids collection will also be held. Sponsorships are already coming in with companies like the Nova Group and The Balcony Restaurant pledging items as prizes. All sponsors will be largely exposed during the event to receive their well-deserved media attention!
