In many countries around the world, golf is suffering from the global recession, and the industry will really begin to suffer unless it starts to focus on its future. You can play a game of football with friends after school with a ball and a couple of posts for goals. Same for baseball, you can play the game just with sticks for bats and cans for balls.
But for new golfers to enter the sport, they first need to find and get to a golf course, and then they need to rent or maybe buy a set of clubs. All this can be very expensive.
Here in Thailand they have a very good system of encouraging newcomers to take up the game and big businesses are also helping too. For example, Singha and Chang beer both run academies where new golfers are groomed to eventually follow in the footsteps of the Thai legend Thongchai Jaidee. Thongchai even has set up his own golf academy in Thailand to train girls and boys.
True Vision is another Thai company supporting golf. In fact "10 th True Visions International Junior Golf Championships 2011 " was held last month in Pattaya at Rayong Green Valley Country Club and St. Andrews 2000.
