November Green

As the temperature drops back home, we continue to have some milder temperatures, in fact it got down to 29 C the other day... Well, Sunday is often golf day, so this morning I woke up at 4:45 to head to the Pak Soi, with my bike and bag to meet the other guys. We plan to get a taxi and take the 45 minute ride to the The Pine golf course today since we have a 6:20 am tee time.The taxi will cost us around 5 dollars!  We are first on the course so we won't be slowed up by anyone!

A quick ride gave us time to take a couple of puts.. actually we had to putt some because the sun was not up yet. But at 6:15 we teed off to a great round, the first 9 holes took under 2 hours. Here are a couple of shots of the course. Lots of water around so you had to play smart.. or just kill it !.. A respectable score today after starting very poorly on the first three holes... I may have been tired from fishing yesterday, but that's another story.

Here I am taking my stance at the 18th T... what water?

 Of course every golfer needs their own caddie. On this course they were yellow and of course are all female. They are covered with large hats and towels, long sleeves and pants just to protect themselves from the sun. They do not speak much English but are supposed to give you some direction around the course. Each one has a number ..since you can't understand their name anyway!

 Some very nice terrain and did I mention there was plenty of water!

 A typical scene on these courses, the caddies carry the clubs, balls, tees, water, umbrella and mark your ball etc... pretty easy golfing, especially if scoring is not your focus.

 Yeh and there is some water too.. :)

More water...
