What 14.8 Handicap Golf ACTUALLY looks like…
EVERY SHOT IN 10 MINUTES (Royal Thai Army Golf Course)
A round of golf at Royal Thai Army golf course in Bangkok, Thailand. It's an affordable place near central Bangkok with 2 18-hole courses to play. You can show up and play (like I did) or book a tee time ahead if preferred.
On this day the new course was closed so I ended up playing the back 9 of the old course for the first time.
Parts of this video include:
0:00 Back 9
10:16 Score
11:18 Green fees
11:28 Lockers
I'm James, a golfer with a dodgy swing now playing off a 14.8 handicap.
I am in Thailand for the winter & spring and will be back to posting UK golf content this summer.

Royal Thai Army Golf Club - Old Course & New Course Description:
(good municipal course that's fun for all)
As the name suggests, Royal Thai Army Sports Center Ramindra Golf Club is owned and operated by the Thai Army, located just outside Bangkok's main downtown section. The facility boasts two complete 18-hole courses, Old Course and New Course.
Royal Thai Army is one of the better value courses in Bangkok. While in many countries, military golf courses are off-limits to civilians; the courses welcome visitors here in Thailand at any time. The course is one of several courses in Bangkok that offer fully floodlight night golf, staying open until 11 pm every night.
The site itself consists of two 18 hole, par 72 parkland-style & tree-lined courses side by side, which are both equally challenging. The relatively flat terrain provides a fun round of golf for higher and mid-handicapped players.
The New Course and Old Course share the same clubhouse, though the teeing areas are opposite sides of the Royal Thai Army Golf Club. The New Course layout is similar to the Old Course, but the hole lengths average 20-30 yards shorter. Both courses are acceptable for low and high handicap golfers.
Due to its reasonable price and central location, the Royal Thai Army Golf Club Sports Center gets busy, especially on weekends and on Wednesday afternoons when most soldiers get allocated time to pursue sporting activities. Calling ahead to reserve a tee time is recommended.
The Royal Thai Army Sports Center facilities include several pro shops, chipping and putting areas, more than ten restaurants. Every hole has a kiosk serving a unique Thai snack and drinks. The locker rooms are well maintained, though there is a slight change for towel service. Other facilities include an Olympic-sized swimming pool and a public accessible double-decker driving range.
Caddies are well trained and know their profession. They assist golfers and help with the speed of play despite the course allowing 6-balls to play in one group. Overall, the Royal Thai Army offers a lovely day out golfing in Bangkok at a fair price.

Things are, indeed, going in the right direction. I really do enjoy your BKK golf vlogs. Keep them coming! But do hope to see more beautiful Welsh golf during the summer.
Can always rely on you to bring sartorial elegance to the golf course James! Game trending nicely, keep it up.
Great video James!
Nice round. You looked a little more relaxed on the course today. Keep up the good golf.
Well played, James!
Well played!
I enjoy your videos - great play
Well played and great video,0laying well, great drive over 270 yards
Good golf, great video. HAPPY DAYS !
Good effort, driver was working well, looks like you have picked up a few extra yards with it , well done
Great pitch shot on 16
Lovely work. Looks like you know your clubs very well. Good tee shorts and no 3-putt make it easy. Only observation is that course looks easier than rated 74.6/132. Maybe because you make it looks easy.
Very nice video and well played. Do you ever play courses in the countryside?
Well played James!

I'd love to play and film that course but unfortunately I've been told it's strictly no photography. Very strict there :(
Great video! Are you still playing those DCI irons? I recall you were playing so well with them.
@4:33 - that made me laugh! :) Also a good round that shows GIRs aren't that important. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I swear that shot was a GIR but we all ran through the back of the rock hard green. Golf's a funny old game! :)
Phoenix golf club near Pattaya is definitely worth a look. Most impressive clubhouse I've ever seen too.
That is a great score for 3,300 yards. Good job!
James, that’s the longest driving I’ve seen on the channel, well done.
Keep going
I start getting anxious when the music starts mid hole!
It would be good if you did a general Thailand "life" vlog. Needn't be too personal but an overview. I'm hoping they bring in 90 day visas for Brits so I can spend a few months there in the winter. Congrats on getting your golf game into good shape 👍

£24-36 inc. transport. This is for 9 holes of play. On this day it cost £36 all in 👍👍
To able able to play with such a lovey caddy 🙂 happy days...
Not sure whether you've moved to Thailand or not? I've been here for 14 years. Army courses in Thailand are very variable. Why don't you play some decent courses like Rancho Charnvee in Khaoyai or Singha Parrk in Khon Kaen?
when we all think about it . . . golf is a CRAZY game !!!!😊😊😊😊😊
Crushing the drives. Doing anything different with your swing?

Yes, I don't normally implement KZread video tips but I saw one (which I can't remember where) and it worked for me from day 1. Basically, instead of addressing the driver to the ball straight I address the ball with my arms much closer to my chest. The driver sits very high on the toe side at address. It's the exact opposite of Bryson Dechambeau but it seems to help me with straighter & longer drives. Thanks for watching :)
Thanks for posting James. I noticed that on your chip shots on 14, 15 and 17 you were really lined up way left of the target and that’s where your ball went.

there are alot of nicer courses around Bangkok within a 60 km drive you should try. If you are an expat living in Bangkok join a society like Londoners Club or the Bangkok Wanderers.

Around £60 all in is average in the Bangkok area. This 9 hole round cost me 1300 baht (£28.26) all in including the caddy tip. There's lots of good courses where every blade of grass is perfect but I don't play those as unfortunately I don't have the wallet for them. Maybe in the future...
Sounds like he hits a lot ‘fat’ , still pretty good!
