Introduction to golf in Phuket
Golf masters tell golfers to hit the golf ball in the sweet spot, and that’s wise tip. For golfers of any standard, Phuket is presumably the sweetest spot of all for hitting a ball.
While other destinations in Thailand are also home to good courses, only in Phuket is it possible to enjoy first-rate golf, plus sun-drenched beaches and coral-reef diving, all close to fine cooking and various nightlife.
Many people arrive to Phuket to enjoy its water and sand. Golfers will find plenty of both on the island’s courses, mixing a little pain with their delight. Yet win or lose, Phuket is likely Thailand’s best destination for marvelous warm-weather golf. The quantity of courses on the island is rising and they are well-maintained and continuously being improved. Facilities are splendid.
Caddies, all of them are women, obligatory on the island’s courses. Line up a birdie and your caddy will smile along with you. Miss a putt and she will also regret the missed opportunity. Professional on each course and well-informed about the game, the hundreds of caddies add their special fun to the entire island golfing experience.
