Format & Rules
The Taboo Tour runs for twelve months — one round a month around the golf courses of Hua Hin, managed by the Take 5 golf society. The season opened on Wednesday 21 October and then settles onto the second Wednesday of every month. Every round finishes back at Taboo by Daddy Deli for the results.
Scoring
Played Off Handicap
Every round is played off handicap, so a fifteen handicapper and a scratch player are in the same competition. Cards are entered on the night and the table updates straight away.
Your Best Rounds Count
Your season total is made up of your best rounds rather than all twelve. Miss a month, join late, or have one round you would rather forget — none of it ends your season.
Entry On The Day
฿300 entry fee, paid on the day. ฿100 of that goes into the twos and skins pot.
Splitting a Tie
Equal totals are separated on countback: best single round first, then the next best, and so on. If two players are still inseparable, they share the position.
The Monthly Scramble
As well as the league round on the second Wednesday, there is a team scramble every month. Everyone tees off, the team plays on from the best ball, and one score goes in for the team.
It is played purely for fun and carries no league points — nothing about a scramble touches the league table. Scramble dates and format.
Season Prizes
The Tour title goes to whoever tops the league table at the end of the season. Every prize is provided by Taboo by Daddy Deli.
The First Prize In Detail
- Golf for two. Two green fees at Siam Country Club Plantation — the winner plus one guest. Bring your wife, your partner or a mate, it is entirely up to you.
- One room, two nights. The hotel is a single room for two people sharing. A second room is not part of the prize; anyone who wants one is welcome to book it themselves.
- Voucher. ฿5,000 to spend at Daddy Deli restaurants.
- Getting there. Travel to and from Pattaya is not included.
- Dates. Arranged with the winner after the final round, subject to hotel and tee-time availability.
Monthly Prizes
Separate from the season table — won on the day, every single month.
Twos & Skins — How The Pot Works
- Part of the ฿300 entry. ฿100 of the entry fee goes into the twos and skins pot. Forty players makes a ฿4,000 pot.
- It all goes back out. The whole pot is paid out to the players who win it.
- Twos. Card a 2 on any par 3 and you are in. Several twos and the pot is split between them.
- Skins. Win a hole outright and the skin is yours. Tie it and the skin carries to the next hole, so a late one can be worth plenty.
- Nobody wins it? The pot rolls over to the next round.
Who Runs It
