Hello,

some friends will stay in july on phuket. One of them wants to learn playing golf. He has no experiances until now.

Does anybody knows a good school or teacher for golf. If the lessons are in german it would be the best but i think his english is much better than mines.

I think most courses have a pro around to give lessons for those who pay for it. Ask at the driving range.

Otherwise our fellow BM Dunc1 may give you lessons.

There is a really good (and cheap I am told) teacher in Patong.. Leaving town to Karon, as you go up the hill to safari on the right opposite Patong Hill estate.

Know a couple of guys who have got thier start from him.

Think an old PGA pro from Blue canyon has a driving range close to Laguna.

There's a professional English golfer called Tony (if I remember correctly) who will take beginners around a course of your choosing and show you the ropes.
I was told he was really good, but I was far too tight to fork out for his tuition and so spent 3 grueling hours in the midday sun destroying a beautifully kept course with my driver / shovel

Golf is fun!

p.s. hi everyone!

Martin at the Bangtao driving range is good.

Also good for a beginner is Bruce the pro at Banyan Tree very patient and also uses video.
