Zen Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hi, I would like to learn Golf in Bangkok on a 1-to-1 basis. Approximately how much would it cost per lesson? And how many lessons should I have? Any good recommendations for a beginner? I'm totally new to golf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more you sign up for the less expensive it usually is. It's been a long time since I had lessons, but when I did it was at a driving range across from SCB Plaza, there was a older gentlemen teacher who gave me lessons, he was great. Had loads of patience which is important for a beginner. Once you get the bug, it'll drive you crazy, but best of luck. You'll have a lot of fun.

jfxberns Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Can anybody give a ballpark range for lessons? So, what does it take to be an expert? Five or six lessons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thailandgolf Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Lessons usually range from THB 500 to THB 2,500 per hour. You can get packages for less, I suggest going with an expat professional, which will cost you more but I think they are better qualified than most of the Thai professionals. For a beginner I recommend a 10 hour package to start with, however, it's always a good idea to start with one lesson before you sign up to see if you get along with the Pro - this is important. Check out www.golfthink.com - there's a guy on there that seems to have some good feedback. Good luck!

thailandgolf Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 It depends entirely on each individual and your skill level, and what you mean by "expert". Most players never reach what I would consider "expert" level. In my experience it usually takes 10-20 hours for somebody just to be able to be ready to play on a course. Any more questions please ask! Can anybody give a ballpark range for lessons?So, what does it take to be an expert? Five or six lessons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck! Actually I quite rate a Thai guy called Rat, he has worked with Ernie Ells, I think the teaching was from EE! He now has a shop at Sports City on Prachachuen Road just up from Ngam Wong Wan Mall. He used to charge 1000Baht for an hour lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
