The Haven are consructing some accommodation for the owner who has been ill recently and wants to stay at the hotel to keep in touch with his golfing friends.

Have played with Lewinskeys; Haven; Bunker bar; Sugar Shack and Kronenburg and had a great day out on each occassion. I only change bars to play a specific golf course. Just introduce yourself at the bar and put your name down on the sheet and please turn up at the specific time requested as it makes it far easier for the organiser to arrange lifts or book buses depending on numbers. Take a copy of youre handicap certificate and join which ever club the first bar you play with is affiliated to. Happy swinging in the sun.

the man has been in LOS for far to long to be in need of any help from us who are entering lettters on a keyboard. he shall be larning things by experience? the lucky so and so?

Not too many questions about the golf on this board but is one of the reasons why I have not seen too much of LOS. I first visited LOS with a friend who had been going ther for the last 12 years and spent an amazing 3 weeks in Phuket. with 2 days in Blade Runner City before coming back home to God's Country. 3 Months later visited a friend who has stayed in Pattaya for the last 6 years with the intentions of playing a couple of days golfing at the start and end of my 4 week holiday. Never left Pattaya and had the time of my life playing 25 rounds of golf around some great courses with great company. My golf was based with Lewinskys Orchid and have since played with the Bunker Bar, Diana Inn and The Haven and have never had anything but a great day out. I am sure that anyone wishing too play golf in the true spirit of the game will have the same experience as me. Just a pity that I did not find anything else to occupy my time while I have been in Pattaya.

20 balls for 20 rounds my arse, a friend of mine who plays off +4 lost 6 balls in 1 round????

Balls: plenty of pond balls available on the way to and back from most courses priced at around 100 Bhat for 6 with plenty of brands available. Most of the year you do not get any run on the fairways and most of the greens will hold any half decent shot with a hard ball. Take a box of more reponsive balls just in case you play a course with the greens a bit hard. Back home in Scotland I play with Pro V1 but when in Thailand Pinnacle gold spin or top flight XL 2000 spin seem to be the best for me. Gloves: A normal Cabretta leather glove will last you 1 round so try and look for Tropical gloves which are available in the sport shops in the shopping malls. Buy two and rotate them during you're round and they will last the whole holiday. I played over 20 rounds on my last trip and was OK

There are plenty of reputable agent to found in pattaya. just ask any expat who has been there for any length of time???

Just back from LOS and treat the girls the same as the last time you were there and reap twice the rewards.
