Learning Golf In Ban Chang/rayong Area.

[Richb2004v2]

What are the best options as regards learning golf in the Ban Chang/Rayong area?

Are there any reasonably priced coaches, Thai or expat?

I would really like to make use of the courses that surround me but I'm a complete beginner and can barley hit the ball at the minute.

Go and stick you head in the Camel or McAllisiters, all the local golfing boys drink in both these bars, one of the local golf pro's (Expat) used to drink in Camel, havent seen him in a while, but maybe still around.

Pretty sure the abovementioned will steer you in the right direction...

The golf pro who used to drink in the camel, Ban Chang ,has long gone. There seemingly is a very good teacher at the driving range next to Bangkok Rayong Hospital, Rayong.

From Suk. Rd. turn into PMY Rd. towards the beach. At first junction with flashing traffic lights turn right. Driving range about 200m on left.

About 8 years ago there was a driving range across from the Lam Thong Mall on Sukhumvit. Thai guy that would walk up and down the range giving short lessons and drills for you to practice. Was very good and kept it very simple. Back then I think we would give him a couple hundred baht every once in a while. Very informal, Seems about 25% of the people there on any given night were paying him for lessons. Spoke decent English.

Did you manage to find a good coach? What are the details (where, how much, lesson duration, conatct nbr. etc)?

I am in Ban Khai, Rayong and would be willing to travel to Ban Chang area if there is a decent coach.

Thanks,

I'm told there is a Korean guy that teaches at Emerald golf course (between Ban Chang and Map ta Put)

He sometimes eats and catches a drink at The Camel, wears quite outspoken colours so is not too hard to miss !!
