Golf Trip VI, 31 Jul - 11 Aug 2012 We're getting closer to another great international golf adventure. Think about practicing a bit - you know, drinking and swinging a club reasonably well, that sort of thing.... Some rules: I've also updated the specific costs on the Trip Details page. The flight details as well as a "what to take" list are provided on the Trip Details page. Relax, think exotic, and leave the hard part to me.... Also this year, we'll visit the Tiger Zoo and experience an Elephant Trek. |

Laem Chabang tee #1 |
Today I finally hit a few golf balls. My wrist still hurts if I hit the ball thin, so I'm just not going to let that happen again. Will play in a scramble this Sat and that should be a good test. Then on Memorial Day weekend there's a golf trip to a Japanese mountain course. I played there a year or two back and had a great time, in fact I think the score was also reasonable. Tomorrow (Fri) offers one more chance to practice my short game, and putting. Think I'll visit the Par 3 around 5:30am and then again later in the day. Then I'll set aside some decent clothes for Sat's tournament, have a drink or three, and dream about some great shots. Stand by for the Sat update.... |

![]() Khao Kheow's island green is both beautiful and challenging. Everyone in our group made it onto the green, and as I recall, I made a birdie. |
