Loved it too much. 3 of us it was our first round of golf - we all three ordered clubs the following week. I think anywhere else starting golf other than Thailand might have kept me from falling in love with the game. I live in CM now and have had a few problems with wrists so stopped playing a couple of years ago but now am anxious to get back out there.

Moonlover Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) We've had 2 good storms in the last week and I think we're building up for another one right now. 1 hour ago, Upnotover said: Yep, take your watch off, don't play phone......same in Bangkok right now, refreshing much! I don't go along with this advise. I don't think that lightning is quite that selective, but the old advise regarding standing under trees sure is valid. This one is only about 200 metres from the edge of our village. I read on the web that trees explode when they take a lightning strike. It's true. It really is!

The advice was in reference to the OP's girlfriend having received this wisdom from my own in the rice fields of Kalasin many moons ago. I did go along with it but not because I believed it.

It is made of aluminum so I'm convinced it will act as a Faraday cage in the unlikely event of a strike. But I could just be wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
