Choosing The Right Golf Pro For Your Thailand Golf Vacation

While every golfer visiting Thaiand wishes they possessed the skills Tiger Woods or Annika Sorenstam have, no one is as good as the pros without practice. If you want to be the best you can be, it is vital you hire a golf pro and practice, practice, practice, practice.

One of the first things you need to consider when choosing a golf pro in Thailand is whether or not you want to join a Bangkok golf school or take individual lessons. There are benefits to both options as you still get to work with a pro regardless. However, you will get far more individual attention with private lessons. Money is also an issue when it comes to hiring a pro versus attending a school.


While it is going to be expensive whatever route you decide on, it is important you have a budget in mind. How much are you really willing to pay just to improve your golf swing? There will be more experienced Thailand golf pros that will cost more than others. You can expect to pay anywhere from THB 1,000 to THB 2,500 per hour. For this reason, set a price limit for what you are willing to pay for and what is too much.

It can be difficult deciding on or finding the perfect instructor for you. You may find that co-workers or friends have hired a pro themselves. Ask around and see what recommendations you can get from others. In addition to talking to friends, try to get in contact with former students or current students of the pro. This can help you learn first-hand what kind of an instructor they really are.

One of the most important things to do when looking to take Thailand golf lessons from a pro is contact them and ask questions. Do not be afraid to find out what type of person they are, how they will improve your game, and whether or not they will be dedicated to helping you. It is important you and your instructor have the same goals; improving your overall golf game. If the both of you are equally committed, it will be much easier to actually succeed.

After you have taken the time to talk to several people and perhaps interview each Bangkok golf pro, weigh your options carefully. Take into account their experience, professionalism, and of course the cost for golf lessons. While it can be a difficult decision, keep in mind you are not signing your life away. If one instructor does not work out, you can always jump on board with another.
