Hi Fellow Golfthinker
 
I hope you don't mind me sending you my first e-golfletter.  It tells you a bit about my new golf instruction business and has some other interesting info on golf in general.  If you make it all the way to the end, send me an e-mail and let me know what you golfthink!
 
Have a great 2004 [First_Name], and if you need any information about golf in Thailand, or have decided (like me) that 2004 is the Year of Lower Scores, please write me an e-mail or give me a call.  Hope to see you out on the golf course soon.   
Great golfing!

Amazing But True Golf Facts

Floyd Satterlee Rood  used the United States as a golf course, when he played from the Pacific to the Atlantic from September 14, 1963, to October 3, 1964, in 114,737 strokes.  He lost 3,511 balls on the 3,397.7 mile trail. (A True golfThinker) 

The Most Holes-In-One in a career is 68 by Harry Lee Bonner from 1967 to 1985, most of them at his 9-hole home course of Las Gallinas, San Rafael, California.  

Steven Ward Took 222 Strokes for the 6,212-yard Pecos Course in Reeves County, Texas, on June 18,1976 - but he was only 3 years and 286 days old.  

The Longest Hole-In-One ever recorded is the 10th (447 yards) at Miracle Hills Golf Club at Omaha, Nebraska, by Robert Mitera on October 7, 1965.  A 50mph gust carried his shot over a 290-yard drop-off.

 
 
Golf in Thailand - Tip of the Month
The question we get asked the most is undoubtedly "How much do I tip the caddies?"  Most locals tip the caddies between 200 - 300 baht, but this hasn't changed for 10 years and since you probably earn in a day what most caddies earn in a month, tipping them more will be much appreciated.  We suggest 300 at the very minimum.  Please be aware that most of the caddies come from modest backgrounds and many need to send money home to their family on a regular basis.  This is your chance to help out a "good cause".
