I found this site: http://www.golfthink.com/golf-lessons-in-thailand.htm
and I was thinking of going along next month when I've over there but wanted to find out if they were a waste of money first. They're not cheap!

i bet they are ok but might be overpriced. having a website in english is of course targeting foreigners and thus normally means higher prices in Thaioland.
You can always go directly to any golf course and hire a trainer directly. This way you will get the normal price.

All I did some years ago was going to a driving range in Bangkok and hired a trainer there for a few hours. They film your movement etc. explain everything until you are able to make a shot.
After the few hours I went to train myself on the driving range and a month later was on a course for the first time. i think the introductory course was sth like 2000-3000 Baht. I went on the driving range on Soi Suan Plu (its right behind the immigration).

The NCPGA has two co leaders in the San Francisco area to help new golfers with growth of the game programs. I'm in the Sunnyvale area and Bruce is at Golden Gate Park. Here is a link to people who have good programs and will know of others in their area

Does anyone know the cost of checking your golf clubs on an international flight? And what is the weight limit and cost of being overweight with your baggage?

First!! Check with your airline. Baggage rules and fees have changed more in the last six months than they have in the last 20 years!!

Usually - an international itinerary allows for two checked bags not to exceed 70lbs and 62 linear inches (l+w+d). Golf clubs can be counted as one bag if it contains only golf gear. Don’t stuff it with anything other than clubs, shoes and golf essentials.

Some airlines will charge you domestic fees for additional bags (more than one) and overweight (over 50lbs) if your first leg of travel is to a port city in the US as opposed to a direct flight right out of the US.

Best to get the details from your carrier - and beware of customer service outsourcing (like calling United Airlines and getting India) you may get some confusing/conflicting advice.

Where can i get good quality golf clubs at cheap prices?

I want a good driver.

I have only just started golf so only want to spend £30-40 at the moment on a driver.

Please give me websites, shops etc.

Also if there are any bargains out there please tell me and i'll be very likely to give to best answer. Thanks.
I bought a driver off ebay for £21.00 inclusing P&P.

It was a 'Stix' something rather.

Thanks everyone.

honestly ive got good stuff on ebay. be careful and really look at what ur buying but ive got real good stuff from there. rockbottemgolf.com like the other guy said is very good most of the stuff ive got off ebay was from their ebay store and ive been very happy with them. they also have balls and pretty much anything golf u could want. but out of any shops i would say ur local pga pro shop at most golf courses or near driving ranges would have very low prices competitive to only prices.

Are they there for some unspecific reasons, or do they have a reason for being there? It doesn't matter what brand of golf ball, they all have those numbers, often in red.

The majority of these answers are wrong. The colored numbers are not there solely for the purpose of identification of the ball. That is why the number itself is there but not why some are red and some are black. A red number means that the golf ball is 90 compression. A black number means that the ball is 100 compression. The red number being a softer ball than the an a ball with a black number. This way you can easily tell the difference between a Pro V1 and a Pro V1X. Another example is the TP
Red ball from taylormade, which has red numbers and is 90 compression. On the other hand the TP Black has black numbers and his 100 compression. This can be useful, if you know which compression ball fits your swing better when you find balls on the course you can know which ones you should keep, and which ones you shouldn't bother with.

I'm looking to purchase golf balls for my brother's birthday but I don't know which brand to buy. Can someone recommend a brand?

Depends on his style of play. If he likes more control and spin, he'll want a softer ball, preferbly a 3-piece ball or even a 4 piece ball. The Callaway HX Blue series are a good example of this type of ball. They run about $35 a dozen, give or take.

For distance, a beginer would do well with a 2 piece ball with a hard cover. Generally these types of balls run $15 - $25 a dozen depending on brand and type. The Callaway HX hot is a 3 piece distance ball that runs $25 a dozen.

The cream of the crop (like the Titelist Pro V1-x or Callaway HX Tour) run about $45 - $55 a dozen. The Pro V1's is the number one golf ball among the elite golfers and professionals. The number 2 ball on the tour would be the Callaway. These ball combine the best of distance and control.

For the average user though, just use the Maxfli Noodles or Top Flite 3000. They're decent balls and don't run an arm and a leg. The best thing is if you lose one in the woods or the water, you don't get all bent out of shape over losing a $5 golf ball.

Hope this helps.
