7. Communication

The great majority of members of the IPGC are not full time residents in Pattaya. This fragments normal channels and renders General Meetings inappropriate through lack of representation. Members should provide feedback through their society organiser who will raise appropriate concerns with the Committee. Alternatively, members can provide feedback direct through this website.

8.  Code of Conduct.

The IPGC Committee and golf venues excpect all golfers to act appropriately.  Golfers deemed to have violated this policy are subject to disciplinary sanctions up to and including suspension of IPGC competition playing privledges.
