prk888 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 A few years ago we had a very good golf pro. to teach us the basics of golf. He is Swedish and worked here in Pattaya of course. We now want to use him again when friends visit mid year. Most of the Golf Association websites i look at are in Thai with no email addresses so any ideas who I can email/contact to see where he now works? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n210mp Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Sounds as though it could be Tyrone Renggli golf Pro and instructor Who used to have a place above the Green trees golf driving range on the Railway bypass. He has just opened a new place at the Soi Siam Country club, maybe you could call them for more innfo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at his web site and go through as if booking online you can see details of his lessons - basically 1500baht for 50 minutes for one off lessons.

Top Cat Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Just thought I would add a bit to the thread. No idea who or where the Swedish Golf Pro is but as far as I am aware there are only 2 PGA Registered Golf Pros in Pattaya and Tyronne isn't one of them. There again it depends what you class as a “Pro Golfer”. Someone who is PGA registered or isn't but just charges money for lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a National register of PGA golf pros I wonder? Not sure if he was professional but certainly gave good lessons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One's a Scotsman who (if I remember correctly) is called Mike McLeod and works at the Pattaya Driving Range on Third Road (towards the Pattaya Nui end). The other's an Englishman called David Race who works at the Diana Driving Range. The Diana Driving Range is situated at the Diana Garden Resort which is located between Third Road and Sukumvit (towards the Pattaya Nui end). Theres a sign for the Diana Garden Resort on Third Road, not far from the Pattaya Driving Range, which directs you to the Soi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen and heard the guy teaching at the Third Road range on many an occasion - his name is McLaren by the way not McLeod Using your link I also found this - John O'Flynn PGA Professional Grade: AA Open/Close Address: Siam Country Club Pattaya Old Course 50 Moo 9 T. Banglamung Pong, Bang Lumung District Chon Buri THAILAND 20150 Contact: 0066 3890 9700 Thanks as I never knew there were so many UK pros based in Thailand.

Thanks for confirming its Mike McLaren and not McLeod. Quite embarrassing as I have met him, although it was some years ago now. Didn't know about John O'Flynn at Siam Country Club but I suppose PGA Pros must come and go all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
