Golfing with Sasin students

I was lucky enough to invited to play along with some of the Thai students at their home course during one Monday break from classes. The family of one of the Sasin students owns the course, Muang Kaew, and offers all Sasin students an incredible VIP discount; I think I only paid 1200 Baht (i.e. $35) for rentals and green fees. It's an impressive track, and it made for a fun day.

Here is our foursome -- (from left to right) myself, Nutt, Song, and Jack


Here is a view of the same foursome on the course


The first 5 holes were truly impressive, with a grat mix of water, bunkers, and palm trees.


One of the best parts of golfing at elite courses in Thailand are the mandatory female caddies, who know the game very well, even though they don't play themselves. They are incredibly sweet, and always provide a small after both good and bad shots.


I hit the ball quite well most of the day, even though I had only played twice in the previous two months. Scoring well, unfortunately, was another story...

Nutt had just picked up the game in recent years, but managed a positive attitude throughout. In my natural coaching demeanor, I used this shot to show Nutt that his swing was all arms -- i.e. very little movement in the lower body.

Jack, on the other hand, had played for some time, and hit some huge drives off the tee.

I'm hoping to get the invite again in the coming weeks.
