Golf Lessons
Golf Lessons and Play Package
This three day course of golf lessons culminates in an unforgettable day trip to Dolphin Bay and Sam Roi Yot, a national park, some 35 minutes south of Hua Hin. The name Sam Roi Yot can be translated into "The Mountain with Three Hundred Peaks", a series of magnificent grey limestone mountains, which rise dramatically from the Gulf of Thailand and adjacent coastal marsh to a maximum height of 605 meters.
A little known gem of a golf course on the coast awaits, very few play here and is an ideal setting for the beginner to enjoy their first 9 holes of golf. This course is short but with a few water hazards, raised greens and some punishing bunkers.
Itinerary
You will be taught over 3 days at the Mongkol Driving Range under the tutelage of John Wither.
Lesson 1. (Day 1) Basic grip, stance and posture
Lesson 2. (Day 2) The easy swing to compliment your natural body patterns
Lesson 3. (Day 3) Distance shots
Each lesson will be 1½ hours duration, includes transport from your hotel and return, golf clubs and balls supplied.
The Course. (Day 4) You are then taken from your hotel at 8am to the national park of Sam Roi Yot, direct to the army camp at Dolphin Bay where the course is situated. At about 9.15 am you will tee-off with John who will help you with course management (how to think your way around a course), help with the short game and putting, but above all to have some fun, after all this is but a game!
After your game we have a well earned drink(s) and a light snack, before moving on to see how the local monkeys collect coconuts and then to the next beach to collect our boat ride which takes us through a fishing village around the islands and to see the unbelievable coastal sites.
We then go to a local authentic Thai restaurant which comes highly recommended by your host.
It should be noted that this trip can be enjoyed by a non-playing partner/friend, who perhaps likes sunbathing or just walking the golf course whilst the golfer finds out what it is like to play a course.
