A Golfer's Guide to Phuket
Golf instructors tell students to hit the ball in the sweet spot,
and that's sensible advice. For golfers of every standard, Phuket
is probably the sweetest spot of all for hitting a golf ball.
While other destinations in Thailand are also home to good courses,
only in Phuket is it possible to enjoy first-rate golf, plus sun-drenched
beaches and coral-reef diving, all close to fine cuisine and a varied
nightlife.
Many people visit Phuket to enjoy its water and sand. Golfers will
find plenty of both on the island's courses, mixing a little pain
with their pleasure. Yet win or lose, Phuket is probably Thailand's
best destination for wonderful warm-weather golf. The number of
courses on the island is growing and they are well-maintained and
constantly being upgraded. Facilities are excellent. But the people
matter even more.
Caddies, all of them women, are obligatory on the island's courses.
They add a sense of fun -- sanuk, as the Thais call it -- to every
round. Line up a birdie and your caddy will smile along with you.
Miss a putt and she will also mourn the missed opportunity. Expert
on each course and knowledgeable about the game, the hundreds of
caddies add their special sanuk to the complete island golfing experience.
Golf is good everywhere. On Phuket, it's seldom less than superb.

A short drive north of the island, Thai Muang
offers seaside golf at its best, a bit like a Scottish links course
with palm trees. A wonderful alternative for those who hate hills
but don't mind large bunkers and rolling mounds amid rural surroundings.

The most informal of the clubs on a course
that calls for strategic shot-making across lagoons and hillsides.
No place for those who fear water. The stocky palms that give the
course its name have the amazing ability to swallow golf balls at
every opportunity.
