How many, though, have managed to slice the ball in the air only for it to bounce of the roof and end up perched on the chair behind. Don't even know if Tiger could manage that.

Pure genius.

Guilty of the fence on the right!! Several times!!
:oops:
Almost hit a guy welding on that fence one afternoon - blody ball landed right between his legs - he was as high as he could get.... that was scary and super funny when it had missed!
Think i have dribbled it into the back fence one time :roll:

I had some stick today with the HHGS when I brought this subject up.

However one of the 'men' was there, and somewhat confident, so we shall see on Tuesday.

A well known Greek told me that I needed glasses although as a team we had done well in the scramble. Another pro in the team told me that our best known resident touring pro could not do it - so perhaps I may need a check up!!

Good turn out at the demo day - the new product line from Cobra and Titleist are very impressive (Titleist particularly).
Back to the "Over the fence" question - i good player called Paul has confirmed that he can hit the fence, but not close to over! I went last night with a Swede (i havent played with but have heard some stories of his severe golf ball abuse...) this guy may be able to do it - a few of us watched, we couldnt see the ball finish but boy this ball was flying! (the balls were decent quality balls - not range balls).

Anyway i have a fun idea i will be run by John at the range... more to follow!

I missed the demo day on the 11th, although I have been told there is another demo day soon, is this correct and if so does anybody have any details?

Where is the Mongkol Driving Range located? Is it close to Hua Hin centre?

I could be interested in buying a set of Callaway wedges P,A & S but unfortunately not back in HH until mid Jan. How could that work. Any chance of a set being left at the range on "sale or return" until I get there?
