I realized I used a new term that may be unique to Thailand golf in yesterday's post, namely the words "Call Hole". What is a Call Hole? On some golf courses, its a tactic to avoid logjams at a specific hole, usually a par 3. The golfers on the green are asked to mark their balls, find a safe spot, and signal the following group to hit their tee shots to the green. Once the shots are made, the first group then finishes their putts while the following group is walking up to the green. I guess that because the caddies 'call' for the other group to go ahead and tee off, the term was since adopted.
Thailand golf courses do this on crowded days and believes it saves time (1 stroke per group), and it does seem to work. In California, we use the term "waving the group up to the green". Fortunately we don't have 'wave holes' in California...except maybe in surfing.
