Hi, my name is Gary. I am an Australian, originally from New South Wales, but now very comfortably domiciled in Perth, Western Australia with a wife of 35 years marriage and two grown up kids!

I have played golf since my father stuck a golf club in my hands when I was about 10 years old. At 61 years old now, I guess you could say I am a long-term golfer. I have been a member of private golf clubs since a junior, and a member of my current golf club, Melville Glades for the last 22 years. My current handicap is 4... hard earned at my age! I also happen to be the President of the club and have been on the Club's Board for the last 5 years.  Melville Glades is a parkland golf course in the Perth metropolitan area and will celebrate 50 years of operations in 2017. We have in excess of 1,100 members with member competitions every day of the week.  Oh, we also have a mob of around 200 kangaroos that live on the golf course which is a very special experience for our members and visitors.

Danang, Vietnam

Danang, Hoi An, and Hue are connected to each other by modern coastal roads and tunnels. Together they make up the Vietnam's Golf Coast. Vietnam's recognition as an up-and-coming golf destination is no secret, but the Vietnam Golf Coast ups the ante even further.

Da Nang or Danang dates back to the early 14th century when the area was settled as a small village in central Vietnam. In 1954 with the division of Vietnam into the North and South, Danang became part of South Vietnam, and in 1965 was the location of the first landing of US forces in Vietnam when it was aptly coined "China Beach". Nowadays, this same area is home to one of Asia's best beaches, many world-class resorts and Vietnam's best golf courses. For example, the Montgomerie Links Vietnam and the Danang Golf Club are constantly ranked among Asia's leading golf clubs. It is no surprise then that some refer to this area as the Vietnam Golf Coast. [Read the complete review]

Which Golf Ball Should I play in Thailand?

Of all the variables that determine a golf ball's performance compression may be the most mysterious. You'll know it as a number on the ball, usually 90 or 100. If you see slow motion videos of balls impacting the club face you'll see it as the ball deforming or "mushing". The ball launches as this compression releases.

Generally, professional advice says the faster you swing the less compression you need but there are way more issues to consider namely spin speed generated, feel, control, etc but let's leave that to Phil Mickelson.

Thailand's Caddies

Whilst all of us know that Thailand has a tropical climate which can make playing golf a challenge, you can escape the heat and play in perfect conditions. In the "winter" months of December to March Thailand's mountainous north has a significantly milder climate and temperatures can drop to the low 80s even high 70s. This morning at 7am, under a clear sky, the temperature at Chiang Mai Highlands was a relatively "chilly" 66 degrees when perhaps a light sweater was necessary to make things comfortable. Understandably lots of you are escaping the winter at home, but some may seek it out in Thailand.
