In August 2024, RSGC hosted the eagerly anticipated Home Interport event, welcoming 40 members from the Royal Bangkok Sports Club (RBSC). The RBSC team, led by Chairman Pol. Gen. Visanu Prasattongosoth and Captain Pulrit Praneeprachachon, arrived with the goal of defending their titles in both the Erawan and Seladang Cups, which they had won during the away game in May. The RSGC contingent, under the leadership of Golf Convener and Team Captain Ezani Abu Bakar, was determined to reclaim the trophies.

Despite a strong performance from RSGC, RBSC emerged victorious in both competitions, securing the Erawan Cup with 9 points to RSGC’s 7, and the Seladang Cup with 32 points to RSGC’s 20.

At the Home Interport Matches, the first day was unfortunately abandoned due to inclement weather. However, the rain provided an opportunity for both RBSC and RSGC players to socialize and bond over dinner at the Banquet Hall before resuming play on the second day.
