John Wither

Banyan Golf Club, Hua Hin, the award-winning 18-hole championship course nestled between the mountains and the sea on Thailand’s glittering gulf coast, is inviting Thai residents and potential travellers to discover their new post-lockdown passion with a choice of professionally-led golf tutorials.

Underlining its reputation as an ideal venue to learn golf, the Banyan Golf Academy is now offering a choice of lessons for beginners. Led by John Wither, an award-winning coach and PGA pro from St Andrews in Scotland, guests will be able to learn the basics of grip, stance and swing, to advanced techniques for chipping and putting.

Alternatively, a ‘Play Golf in 3 Days’ package will give guests the confidence to play golf in just three sessions. Having learnt the sport’s fundamentals on the first day, students will spend Day Two perfecting their swing and using different clubs. Then on Day

Three, golfers will tee-off for their first nine holes.

Each day will end with a debriefing and video analysis, followed by refreshments. Upon completion of the course, players will be given a certificate and a handicap profile. This comprehensive package is priced at THB14,900 for singles and THB21,900 for couples, including green fees, equipment rental, carts and caddies.

The two-hour ‘Introduction to Golf’ programme is designed to equip beginners with the basic skills and knowledge they need.

After a welcome drink at the golf club, students will be given a summary of golf rules and etiquette, a tour of the course and facilities, a short game session, and coaching on the driving range.

The lessons, which conclude with a video analysis and refreshments, is priced at THB3,500 for singles or THB4,500 per couple.
