Golf

[dutch]

To the golfers;

My wife (Thai)and I are regular golfers.

After my retirement (next december/january) we are planning to play about 2-3 times weekly (not in the weekends).

Our home base is in Nakhon Ratchasima

We will also frequently travel to discover the country.

Would be nice to meet members of the forum on the course.

My handicap; 24

Wife's handicap; 28

Like also to hear from you about experiences on the course.

Golf is a great game. I love it so much that I play a lot of it whenever I am on the course. Why just hit it straight and long? It is much more interesting to hit into the rough, feed the lake, hit the beach, bounce off trees, etc. Putting? Well why not 3-4 putt each green ? That way you get to play more golf without paying for another round

High handicapper,

If you also make a lot of practice swings before hitting the ball, I suppose your game can last for a day

If you are ahead of me, can you please let me pass?

I still try to improve,without becoming too serious about it.

However there is a rule for "slow play".

Hi

I'm not ready to play just yet, but I'll be playing in your area quite frequently in about ten years!! My wife is from the Korat area, and we have built a house near Pakchong. Lot's of nice golf courses nearby.

I've run across items on expat golf groups in Chaing Mai, Pataya, and Bangkok areas, but nothing around Khoa Yai area. Maybe I'll have to start one!
