Dear Fellow Golfthinker
The first month of golfthink has been pretty exciting
for me.
I hope I
don't sound like I just won an Academy Award, but I'd like to say
thanks to you and everybody who has given me great
support, referrals and encouragement during my first month of
operation.
One of the reasons we keep
playing this sometimes maddening and always fustrating game, is that
it's not always about what score you shoot or how many birdies you
make. The most enjoyable rounds are the ones where friendships are made, a
laugh or two is shared and where your foursome is the last to leave the
clubhouse.
I hope golf brings you as many good friends as it has
me.
Great golfing! Kim Inglis

golfthink is pleased to announce Kiarti
Thanee Country Club as the home of golfthink Golf Instruction. With
a three-tiered grass driving range, two practice putting greens and one of
Bangkok's best chipping and pitching greens, the practice facilities make
Kiarti Thanee the ultimate learning environment. The golf course has
recently undergone a major renovation and upgrading program and the course
conditions are first class. Book any of our "on-demand" programs at
Kiarti Thanee Country Club during February and receive Tiger Wood's book
"How I play Golf". Visit www.golfthink.com/courses.htm for more info.
Look out for my articles in OB Golf
& Lifestyle Magazine in Indonesia and Golf
Asia Magazine in Singapore. They'll be covering a
variety of different topics including golf tips, course reviews,
interviews and anything else you can golfthink of. If you'd like a
copy or would like to subscribe to either of these two publications,
please send us an E-mail
and we'll give you all the details.
Ladies, if you're sick of being left behind
while your other half spends the day with his buddies on the golf course,
it's time to start learning so you can join em and find out what on earth
he's on about when he tells his friends he "hit it stiff on 8" and
"rolled in a snake on 12". Not sure if its for you? No
problem, I'll give you your first lesson free, and if you don't like it
there's no pressure to continue. Just send us an E-Mail
to find out more.

People are often confused by the golf handicap system, thinking it's based on your average scores, when it fact it's more an indicator of your best scores. - The odds are 1 in 200 that you'll beat your handicap by three strokes. - Beat it by five strokes, it's 1 in 570. - The odds for going 10 under are 1 in 82,000.Bill gates once shot 87 playing off a 30 handicap in a tournament - that's about a 1 in a million shot. Not satisfied with his 18 Billion, he took home a box of balls, a big-screen TV, a set of garage doors and what he needs most - some computer software! Tiger Woods handicap in 2000 was + 9.7. That's like birdieing every second hole.
"Jai Yen Yen" - Take it Easy! Many of
the courses in Thailand allow five-somes and some six-somes during
weekdays. This means it's not unusual to see a large group of
10-20 golfers and caddies walking
down one fairway. Apart from
making a good photo to take back home, it can be quite a test of your
patience if you're stuck behind such a group. It's a bit of a
lottery if they'll let you through and many of those larger groups are
playing for a lot (lot) more than a $1 Nassau so aren't in any mood to let
anybody through. If they do let you through, no need to rush,
take your time and just stay in your routine. If they don't let you
through, don't let it get to you. Don't let what you can't
control upset you . Use the time you spend waiting to
chat with your playing partners, practice chipping, or share a joke
with your caddie. If you get upset and start playing badly, there's
only one person to blame, and it's not anybody in the group in
front. golfThink
