Abstract/Contents: | Overviews Thailand golf courses. Discusses how the crash of Thailand's economy in the 1990s made it impossible for the developers and owners of the golf courses to pay back their loans. Explains how this caused the bank to sell the courses undervalue which meant the new owners didn't have to charge high prices, resulting in affordable golf. Notes that the Thai government contributes to the affordability of their golf industry. Highlights the hospitality the Thai people show at golf courses, and describes the role caddies play at Thai golf courses. Profiles the Suwan Golf & Country Club, its design qualities, and renovations that are planned for the course. |
