I have found one in lam lukka who played in the asia senior tour, he was amazing. His lessons and skills were just the best i have ever seen. He also was the most expensive thai teacher i tried, but in only 1 lesson i improved my game by more than 10 shots a round.

You can find these guys training sometimes, they can give you a lesson if you pay the price. I'm not expecting a winner like tiger woods, just a pro who play good enough to play on the tour, even if he can't win any tournament.

Hi Johan,
Tour pros dont teach, they make lots more money playing! I know 2 very good fully qualified PGA pros here in Hua Hin who both teach tour pros (one has played tor golf), they are both great players. Click on the Hua Hin Golf Lessons Icon to he right hand side of the screen for one of them - Mr John Withers.

Cheers,

JW

Johan, you maybe had a good game straight after your lesson (thats common), or he gave you a chipping and putting lesson!!!!!!!! There is also no way you can judge a teacher in one lesson, a quick fix is very easy to do, but building a golf swing takes much more than one lesson.

Thanks ! It's exactly what i'm looking for. Even if they stopped to play on the tour they are qualified to teach pros and they have played on the tour, they will for sure help me with my swing as they should know everything about technic. I prefer to pay a high priced good teacher once a month than a crappy one every day for the same price.

Hua Hin golf courses are doing the double pricing for farang ? If yes which ones are doing that ? So i can avoid them.

I'm also trying to locate Mongkol driving range but i can't, any map please ?

Thanks.

I think you'll probably have to avoid them all, then - apart from Sam Roi Yod

Take the Pala U Rd ( Rd West) about 4 kms on the left .About 300 m after the top of the mountain. Has big nets and stuff around it to camouflage it from view :)

You mean they are all ripping off farangs even if we live in Hua Hin ? It's very racist... what is the interest of having more money than local people if we need to pay a lot more than them.
