Golf handicap

Postby pcdooee » March 31, 2009, 9:36 am

Hi! guys looking for information about a golf handicapping system in Thailand, had a conversation on course the other morning with a guy and he spoke of a system where you paid $360.00 to join and by playing on registered courses you could get your scores entered into a handicap system. you got issued with an id card and membership number.
Is anyone aware of this? I have located one at Thai golfer, but it does not seem to be the one he spoke of.
Thanks PC.

The regional director for TGA in Issan is named 'Tow' or 'Taw' (sounds like something in between the two) and can be reached at 081 817 22468 and he has an office at the Golf Driving Range near the airport. As you walk in the main entrance of the golf facility his office is on the right with the serving counter on the left.

Thanks for the responses. Do any of the local clubs allow for foreign annual membership and if so is there a saving to be made as compared to paying green fees if l was to play twice a week. Thanks in advance

trrekkertony, the only advantage to joining Udon Golf Society is: to meet a large percentage of the local golfers; to play regularly every Monday with the group; to save 500 baht every time you play at Victory Park; to have a 'local' handicap based on the R & A Handicapping System; and as an added bonus... you'll get to meet ME!! \:D/

If interested come to the Wing 23 Golf Course at the Thai Air Force Base next Tuesday at 0830 and join up with us or you can PM me and I'll give you some more particulars such as names and phone numbers. :D
