A Charity Night was recently held where the world's best lady golfers who played in the Honda LPGA Thailand in Pattaya donated their prized possessions to be auctioned off for charity.




The lady golfers looked elegant on the night, seen wearing beautiful dresses instead of their golf gear. They were accompanied by their family members, friends and fans with over 300 guests attending.

Some of the goods up for auction included a giant Pink Panther doll from Paula Creamer, two golf bags autographed by all the players, golf clubs from Michelle Wie and golf shoes from last years champion Ai Miyazato.

The first auction was for Paula Creamer’s Pink Panther in which the bidding started at 50,000 baht. The highest bidder was Mr. Phonsakorn Korwanich, Marketing Manager of Advance Info Service who generously paid 95,000 baht for the doll.

The second items to go under the hammer were two golf bags signed by all 60 players. The first golf bag went to Dr. Prajin Iemlumnao, President of Krungprint International who won the bidding with a 120,000 baht bid. The second golf bag went to M.L. Makato Mori, Vice President of Honda Automobile (Thailand) who won the bidding with 150,000 baht. 

Michelle Wie auctioned off her Nike golf drivers for 50,000 baht. They went to Dr. Prajin Iemlumnao.

Ai Miyazato auctioned off her pink golf shoes with the starting price at 50,000 baht. M.L. Makato Mori again won with a 65,000 baht bid.

Morgan Pressel gave up her putter which was auctioned off for 55,000 baht and won by Mr. Surang Prempree, Managing Director of Channel 7.
