November 2008:
As you might have noticed we are in the middle of an upgrade of our website.
It will be a few weeks before it is in the desired format,
however you should still be able to find everything
about our facilities here right now.
Speaking of website and internet, we can now finally offer free Wi-Fi
anywhere within our premises. Simply ask for the password in the bar.
What better place to spend a day at "the office"?
Pool;
Our new pool table is here, and it was definitely worth the wait!
This genuine Brunswick 9 x 4 1/2 foot Tournament table
with Simonez cloth and Aramith balls is for the serious 8 or 9 ball player.
At a replacement cost of around 300,000 naturally there is a small fee for it's use.
Tennis;
We are pleased to announce the arrival of our new tennis coach
and sporting director, Harrison Field.
We doubt there is any person better on this planet
to lead our tennis and competitive sports programs.
Recently arrived from Las Vegas, himself being coached by the late,
great, Harry Hopman of Australian Davis Cup fame.
He’s a close working associate of Darren Cahill; TV commentator,
the former coach of Lleyton Hewitt and Andre Agassi
and possible coach to Roger Federer for the 2009 season.
In addition, he’s had the opportunity to play/coach throughout Europe,
working with many Top Players as Juniors
including (Justine Henin & Kim Clijsters among others).
He is responsible for the design and application for the current programs
now being used by another pair of associate legends,
Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf in their Family Tennis Centers Worldwide.
He brings with him over 30 years of teaching experience
together with the latest techniques, to assist you whether it be
starting from scratch, improving your present game,
coaching your kids or simply having a hit with a true professional.
His experience is international; his "check bin" is local.
This guy is good, not only for us, but you, our patrons.
He has meticulously checked out all tennis courts available
to the general public here in Phuket and has chosen to make this his home base,
biased by the fact that that we have the best court available
in the most convivial and relaxing surroundings
with a low key, yet high standard, family atmosphere.
Welcome aboard Harrison.

Fishing;
Local resident Jim Stewart and his girlfriend Sa have had a go
at our Giant Snakehead on two occasions this last month.
No luck regarding the Snakehead, but as you can see in our Gallery,
they both landed Pacu and Tilapia.
Their second session they were joined by our friend and Alaskan fisherman Bo.
He is surely better at catching King Crabs then any of our species!
Anyway, he and Jim enjoyed a few cold ones,
while Sa once again showed us all how its done.
Hash Run;
On the 16th of this month we will once again welcome the Hash House Harriers.
This time it is for their "Family Run".
More about that in next months News.
Latest members;
Mid October we had the pleasure of welcoming member No. 208,
last seasons Formula 1 World Champion, Kimi Raikkonen.
Welcome Kimi and others that have joined.
Cheers ‘n’ beers, if you’ve been here b/4, please come again,
if not, check it out, you won’t be disappointed.
‘D’ Boss.
