Welcome!

Welcome to Golfing Life Thailand.  The goal of this blog is to provide a resource of information for those that are interested in golfing here in the "land of smiles".  Whether you are a long time resident or a potential visitor, golfing in Thailand can be a wonderful experience both on and off the links.  But its also very easy to be taken advantage of by unsavory tour operators, touts, or lack of knowledge.  Having reliable information at your fingertips will make it easier to locate a hard to find golf course, or finding those little things you may have forgotten to bring .  And naturally, we will try to scour the latest news and information about all things golf here in Thailand to keep you up to date.

We are not a tour operator nor are we affiliated with any tour groups, golf courses, or equipment companies. We are golfing enthusiasts, doing our best to find the best deals and getting the best possible experience from our golfing days out.  And we won't be too shy in referring you to many other websites that have more pertinent or current information as a lot of good material has already be published and we don't want to repeat or compete with those sites.  So come and visit us often here at Golfing Life Thailand.

Its an ambitious undertaking as there are many golfers with different interests and skill levels here in Thailand, and most of the other blogs and websites are commercially oriented and may also support a business so its hard to get objective information. To that end, we will give you a promise to be fair and honest, and to "call it like it is", but also in the spirit of the game, to always be polite and respectful to those involved.

We are hoping to make it a semi-open site where readers can share their experiences, posts their pictures, and make comments (moderated of course) and maybe hook up with other single golfers looking to play with someone.  I, and hopefully and growing team of volunteer contributors, look forward to serving you our reader to the best we can.  After all, what's a better way to llive the golfing life and passing  the time except to 'talk golf', especially here in Thailand.
