I Played Golf In 40°C Heat. This Is What Happened To My Legs.

EVERY SHOT IN 10 MINUTES (Unico Grande Golf Club)
A round of golf at Unico Grande golf course in Bangkok, Thailand. It's a par 63 executive course that has many par 4s on the front 9. It was very hot this afternoon with it being 34°C officially. 38-40°C was what it 'feels like' resulting in some technical difficulties with my iPhone 11 overheating!
I ended up getting sunburnt on my legs this day with my legs being on fire in the evening. This caused me to purchase some lightweight golf trousers for use in the future...
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.

I like seeing your golfing journey mate thanks for sharing. Definitely get some lessons when back in Uk I think that’ll really help. Penalty shots are killing you at the minute bud

Cheers Andrew, I've not been too stressed about scoring recently and it makes for a much more enjoyable round. Thanks for watching :)

9 holes with a caddie for under a tenner, what a bargain. Great content as always James, ever so slightly envious here in soaking wet Kent 😂

@notaperfectgolfer3489 3 месяца назад

You have to pay a caddie tip too but even with that it's still good value. Thanks for watching dave :)

Hey James, thanks for sharing. Do you watch ‘golf sidekick’? He’s based in Thailand, and a really funny guy. Maybe you could get some coaching from him and post the video.

Good idea. Would be fun watchen them play.

@karnbass 3 месяца назад

Great idea. I think James would need a couple of pints before meeting Matt though.

Playing in 40c,here in sw france i play when its 45c and one thing about that heat is the ball travels far more,one can club down due to flight and distance plus the bonus of not many out so no pressure. Great round and well done.

@notaperfectgolfer3489 3 месяца назад

Yeah, the ball really does fly in the heat. I've started drinking salt water pre-round and also put electrolyte sachets in my water. Helps a lot with the heat. Despite putting suntan lotion on my legs were burnt after this round and were on fire in the night! lol

Do you ever enjoy a pint with these lovely lady caddies? Another fine video from the laid back golfer, thank you sir. I live in canada, snow everywhere, so this is as close to golf that I get right now.

@notaperfectgolfer3489 3 месяца назад

Not personally but I know a couple of Thai golfers and one said they sometimes have 'caddie parties' :)

Whats the normal caddy tip for 18 holes James ?

@notaperfectgolfer3489 3 месяца назад

Around 500 baht for 18 holes which is £11. You can tip from 300-1000 baht depending on your experience...

played there today.. 3 birdies, 2 eagle putts.. Up for a game sometime?

@RonMcK 3 месяца назад

@ReviewsForGolfers are most of the cheap courses in Bangkok this short and easy? I never see this guy play a full on par 72 course with a 125 or higher rating. I might do Thailand next winter. Thanks for any advice. Take care.

Was curious if English is common in Thailand, or if you speak Thai?

@notaperfectgolfer3489 3 месяца назад

I speak a bit of Thai, the caddies speak almost no English :)

38C and you have 2 layers on? 🤔

It's a thin layer to protect against sunburn. Many people wear them in Thailand 👍👍

I enjoyed watching this as it's my local course and I film it nearly every time I play it. This is my video from Monday March 11 (I scored my equal fifth best on the course). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dlblx5lGpiU.html

@notaperfectgolfer3489 3 месяца назад

Cheers David. I usually play the front 9 in around +6 so this was very mediocre. I’ve seen some of your vids and you seem to know Unico like the back of your hand! Very tidy approach play which helps so much with scoring. Thanks for watching 👍👍👍

@@RonMcK So many courses for all levels.... I've played 3 or 4 many are on the outskirts but not that far. Some are 5 star and tournament ready others are public grade but still fun.

@RonMcK 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the reply. I certainly don't need 5 star. I'm a 20 hcp (this is my 3rd year playing). Public courses would be great if the green fees are reasonable. I play great winter golf (Jan-April) in Spain for 40 euro or less cart included. I've been to S.E.A. many times but it was before i started golfing. I just noticed that all the courses he's playing in Wales or Thailand are really short and quite easy looking. This one is just over 2000 yards for 9 holes!! It doesn't need to be in the Bangkok region. I'll go where ever the best value courses are. I love Asia and I wouldn't mind going back there next winter. Thanks again for the great information and take care. @@jameslovering9158

@davidcarter1963 3 месяца назад

@@RonMcK There's a full par 72 next door to this one (less than half a mile away). Much more expensive and busy. Not sure the rating. It's called Krung Thep Kreeta.
