“M” Thailand Golf Tip
M is for Mulligan. The Mulligan is a Thai golfer’s best friend and just like the history of the word Mulligan, the use of it is always a great debatable subject. The TGA (Thailand Golfers Association), offers three ‘stories’ on how the Mulligan began. The most widely accepted one is a Canadian golfer named David […]
“L” Thailand Golf tip
L is for Love of golf. If you don’t love golf, golf will not love you. OK, that was a bit corny and owning a golf company, I am definitely not unbiased, but there is some truth in that. The ones who truly love golf, especially golf in Thailand, tend to get the best out […]
“K” Thailand Golf Tip
K is for a Knockdown shot. Although the wind rarely howls in Thailand, some of the courses do have prevalent and somewhat strong trade winds, especially those golf courses located in a valley or near the sea. Pattana Golf in Pattaya and Mission Hills Phuket are two such courses that come to mind. You will […]
“J” Thailand Golf Tip
J is for Jitters. First tee jitters are common golfing in Thailand, but exactly what are they and how do you overcome first tee jitters? That feeling, on your first day of your Thailand golf vacation where you can hardly put the tee in straight, you’re mind and heart are so excited and all you […]
“I” Thailand Golf Tip
I is for not being Indecisive. Most bad shots I see here on the golf courses in Thailand are the result of indecision. For me personally, I would say up to 90% of my bad shots come from not being confident of the shot I play. How many times have you been between clubs, or […]
“H” Thailand Golf Tip
H is for Hero. Don’t be one. We all try to be a hero at some stage when golfing in Thailand by hitting a 250 yard 3 wood over water, around trees, or to one of those sucker pins cut 5 feet from the water at a course like Alpine Golf Club. If you don’t […]
“G” Thailand Golf Tip
G is for Gamesmanship. Whether or not you are ware of it, at every level of golf in Thailand and especially with Thai golfers, there is gamesmanship going on. Here are some tips if you trying to win a $1 Nassau or your golf club championship which you should at least be aware of!. On […]
“F” Thailand Golf Tip
F is for having Fun. Yes, golf in Thailand is supposed to be fun. What frame of mind are you in when having fun? Relaxed, and when you’re relaxed, swinging the club is easy. Therefore, I wonder why, when golfing in Thailand, I always see some players walking the golf course without smiling the whole […]
“E” Thailand Golf Tip
E is for Endless improvement. Golf in Thailand is a never ending journey of getting better. I’m sick of hearing Tiger Woods say it, but it’s true. Most golfers take one or a series of golf lessons in Thailand and expect to find some magic formula that will transform them into a lean mean golfing […]
“D” Thailand Golf Tip
D is for dead aim. The late Harvey Penick, one of golf’s greatest teachers, in spite of never managing to play golf in Thailand, used to say “take dead-aim”. Golfers I see at Thailand golf courses moan to themselves when they hit it far left or right of their target. When I watch these golfers […]
