There are some adjustments that you must remember to make
to your game. First, there is an element of elevation
to either the green or the tee box on almost every hole,
and in many cases there can be very substantial. You will
need to bring your lob wedge and should use balata balls
to make approach shots stick. Second, there is wind to
factor into almost every shot – when you combine this
with the elevation factor it can have dramatic effects
on your club selection. Third, the sand in the bunkers
is more like powdered grey clay, which is heavier that
what we’re used to in Thailand – it plays difficultly
and makes the ball perform differently. Fourth, the greens
are extremely large and have more undulations than are
normally found in Thailand, make your first putt extremely
important. Fifth, there are the par 6’s.
The two par 6’s present one of the most memorable and
singularly unique features of this course and they add
an entirely different challenge. The additional long fairway
shot that must be played demands an entirely different
dimension in concentration and course management. Both
holes really do take four good shots to get to the green,
and both greens are large, split-tiered affairs guarded
by bunkers and water.
