After our round at the regular weekend Bangkok golf tournament, my golf friends and I got to talking about our amazing Thai golf shots. I took some notes and came up with a sort of list of the best of the best Thailand golf shots dictionary. Some of these Thailand golf terms can be found elsewhere, while others are totally new. Here are some of the highlights, including saving the best few for last!
