Home Β» Sport Β» The secret of a day at a Thai golf course. I know quite a few people who play a game of pool billiards in Megabreak Poolhal, whether or not in a tournament context, but who are also avid golfers.
Sometimes once a week, sometimes several times a week, they board a minibus to play a round of golf somewhere near Pattaya where dozens of golf courses are available. Whether they also make much use of the 19th hole the bar I doubt a bit, because I regularly see the minibuses around 5 o'clock in the afternoon unloading the sometimes sunburned golfers with their golf equipment.
I don't like golf, especially in Thailand with that heat. I think it's boring, takes too long and, most of all, I don't have the strength in my arms for a good tee shot. I know that last one, because I've tried. When the golf course in my hometown Alkmaar opened sometime in the nineties, KLM invited me for an introduction afternoon. Pretty fun, but I didn't make it - despite being an excellent golf teacher. At the end of that day we played a tournament round on the practice green and I won that game.
I liked mini golf much more at the time. In nearby Bergen-Binnen there was a beautifully landscaped mini golf course. For an hole competition, the par was set at 51, for a long time I had the course record of 39 strokes I also played mini golf in Pattaya, but the difference in surface gravel in Bergen, concrete in Pattaya did not make me very enthusiastic.
