Bangkok Golf Centres

Life in any capital city is stressful enough. Different people have different ways of relieving their stress. Some drink, some do exercise, others get out of town as often as possible. However, for those people who have golf as a hobby or addiction, there is no alternative to playing their favourite game. The problem with golf, though, is to play it properly and enjoy it you need to be out in the country in hundreds of acres of green land. Driving ranges are not good enough. They are hot and noisy and only really allow the practice of a few skills. There is no perfect replacement for a proper round of golf. So, if the only option is a real game, one needs to actually go to a course. More problems arise here due to logistics and cost. Going to the same course time and time again is not ideal. Being a member of multiple courses is expensive and would involve lots of travelling. And finally, in hotter climates, such as Thailand, being outside for several hours is extremely unpleasant. For the country’s most uncomfortable weather Bangkok is the place to be! So, a possible solution is to try one of the several Bangkok golf centres situated around the city. The best ones offer comfortably air-conditioned rooms with experienced and professional instructors. With the latest technology for their simulators and convenient locations, it’s just like playing a real round of golf. And you can pop out during your lunch break for some practice or a lesson.

Admittedly, it is not real golf. It is the air-conditioned comfort of a golf centre, but it’s a lot better than any other option within the city. In neighbouring towns, such as Hua Hin and Pattaya golf is a much bigger part of many people’s lives, simply because there is the space to have proper courses and clubs. Pattaya is east of Bangkok and a popular destination for tourists, expatriates and locals. There is a lot to do in Pattaya, but also a seedy part of the town. Hua Hin is a similar distance from Bangkok but to the west. It is more popular with families and foreign retirees who want a slightly quieter life. In fact in Hua Hin golf is a big part of life, tourism and the income of the local community. Many houses are condominiums almost depend on it. There are many in Thailand who say that for a good round of golf Hua Hin is among the best in Asia. But for those people who are stuck in the capital and want to play golf Bangkok still has something to offer. Get yourselves down to one of the several simulator and instructor centres to get your fix.

Therefore, it makes sense that technology can be helpful in improving the game for people by utilizing those calculations to help them get better at golf.

If you want to improve your game and don’t have weeks to spend on the course learning on your own, consider indoor golf centers. These facilities have lessons, training courses, and full putting technology to help ensure that you are able to become the best golfer that you can be.

It’s about skill, and with technology to help increase your skills you can have a better game in no time at all. Before you spend hundreds on a personal coach or hours on the golf course trying to get better, check out indoor performance centers to help make your golf game what it should be. You’ll find that they’re more affordable than you thought and much more beneficial to your game than you might have realized.

With other Asian nationalities also eligible to enter the fourth Thailand Championship, a field of over 70 boys and girls aged 12 to 21 will be divided into five age categories, three for boys (Under-21, Under-18 and Under-16) and two for girls (Under-21 and Under-16).  The winner of each category will qualify for the fifth Faldo Series Asia Grand Final, an R&A World Amateur Golf Ranking event which the six-time Major Champion will host on the Faldo Course at Mission Hills in Shenzhen next March.

aboutGolf Simulator Leads To Major Improvement, Top Results for Thailand’s Junior Golfers

MAUMEE, OHIO — aboutGolf, the world leader in indoor golf simulator technology, is playing a key role in the success of a number of Asia’s top Junior golfers thanks to its aboutGolf Simulators, the company announced today.

When she’s not on the outdoor course, Thailand’s Suchaya (Cherry) Tangkamolpraser uses the aboutGolf Simulator at Bangkok-based Wilding Golf Performance Center, where she is coached by Shane Wilding, founder and head professional at Wilding Golf. The 14-year-old was awarded The Most Improved Junior Golfer of the Year from True Visions, a major Junior golf sponsor in Thailand. Tangkamolpraser also won several major Junior tournaments in Thailand, Asia and the United States, including the Callaway World Junior Championship (girls’ Class B 13-14 age category) in San Diego.

Like Tangkamolpraser, fellow Junior standouts Korntawat (Bright) Julamool, Chayanid (Jan) Prapassarangkul and Kesaree (Pearl) Rojanapeansatith have also achieved great success since working on Wilding Golf’s aboutGolf Simulators, once again proving how the aboutGolf Simulator can improve the way golfers—and golf teams—prepare for competition.

“The aboutGolf Simulator has a proven record of improving the performance of golfers around the globe, including here at Wilding Golf in Thailand,” says Wilding, an Australian golf coach with extensive amateur and professional (including PGA TOUR stars Curtis Strange, Ben Crenshaw, Tom Kite, David Eger, Graham Marsh and Stewart Ginn) teaching experience in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and the United States. “aboutGolf technology helped these Junior golfers reach a world-class level of performance and, as an instructor, it is exciting to have aboutGolf’s incredible technology enhancing my teaching philosophies. The accuracy of the aboutGolf system is absolutely mind-boggling.”

Wilding’s students rely on aboutGolf Simulators to deliver the ultimate blend of accurate trajectory physics, precise ball and club tracking, great graphics, meticulously reproduced courses and great game-play. With two modes available on the simulator, Wilding and his team of 20 multi-lingual teaching professionals can give lessons “on the range” to develop a golfer’s swing or “on the course” for playing lessons that teach club selection and course management.

Wilding’s Junior students have been quick studies as to reaping the benefits of working with the aboutGolf Simulators. Julamool, coached by Wilding Golf since 2008, has enhanced his reputation as one of Thailand’s most-gifted young golfers by winning more than 18 tournaments, and finishing among the top-3 in 15 other events throughout Thailand, Asia and the United States. Julamool finished third in the 2009 Callaway World Junior and first in the TGA-CAT Junior Golf Rankings 2008-2009 (13-14 age group).

Prapassarangkul, just 14, is another exciting Thailand prospect. She won a number of major Junior golf tournaments throughout Thailand and Asia in 2009, including a victory in the European/US Kids Golf Championships.

During the last two years training with Wilding Golf, Rojanapeansatith has earned the No. 1 Junior ranking in her age group on the Thai Junior Golf Circuit. Pearl has confirmed her reputation as one of Thailand’s top Juniors by winning tournaments throughout Asia, as well as the 2009 TaylorMade World Junior Championship in the United States.

“We’re obviously thrilled when we hear what golfers can achieve by working with the aboutGolf Simulator in conjunction with a world-renowned instructor such as Shane Wilding,” says Chuck Faust, President and COO of aboutGolf. “These success stories are just the tip of the iceberg. Our technology will continue to evolve, and further drive game improvement.”
