I made this topic as i got some questions in regards to golf in Cambodia in my introduction topic.

Golf in Cambodia is quite expensive with green fees of $90 to $100 in the weekend at the better courses and on weekdays its about $70 to $80 as it is in this region.
Caddie is compulsory and adds another $15 on top of that.

I would guess that there are about 500 locals playing golf and maybe about 800 expats spread out over 2 different cities (7 courses). The increasing number of golf tourists are the ones really boosting the industry here.

In total there are 3 golf destinations with the locals and expats playing in the capital Phnom Penh and Siem Reap known for Angkor Wat. The third one is a new development by the Chinese who are building a seaside resort with several courses of which the first 2 are recently finished but attract few people yet.

I like to take photos so to give you some impressions of the courses and some additional info i will split it up, starting with Siem Reap and its 3 courses; 
 

1. Cambodia`s leading golf course designed by Nick Faldo: Angkor Golf Resort.

Played a new course on the coast... Hill View Course at Dara Sakor in Koh Kong, Cambodia.

Tricky course for people who struggle with their driver like me. Nice hotel and beach area with hardly anyone around.

Sitting here at the airport on Lanai thinking 2 things; 1) wow there are a lifetime of experiences out there and 2) where can I find a practice range with mirrors closer than Cambodia? 

Mahalo for sharing!

    • Day 16: range night! Worked on long game for about 40 minutes, with a good solid 20 minute focus on my priority piece. Things improving there. Bookended that with some wedge and driver work. Finished up with about 30 minutes of short game. Working on distance control and all types of shots and lies. Short game is probably as good as it has ever been. 
    • You should be able to install it yourself, honestly. You could easily blow it on and use some one-sided duct tape or something so it stays in place. That's what I've done with one of my grips.
    • Day 22 (12 July 26) - worked on putting tempo today using metronome for accurate tempo. 
    • Hi all, My Edel putter seems to have developed a rattle.  I don't think it's a big deal, as I mostly hear it when I'm tapping down ball marks on greens.  However, I am debating getting it fixed, especially as I intend to play a lot of golf in August and September, and to continue playing regularly after that of course too.  My issue is I think fixing it would entail the fixer (golf shop repair station?) removing the grip and, presumably, applying a new one.  My problem is two-fold.   First, I like the grip on it, although after eleven years, maybe it's worth replacing.   The bigger (second) issue is getting the grip.  I don't like the flat-fronted putter grips anymore.  I have the round one on my putter, and I suppose I could buy one from Edel's website, but would a golf shop install a grip I bought elsewhere and brought in?  Or could they order one if Edel is not a supplier of theirs?  I don't recall ever seeing any Edel products in a Roger Dunn or PGA Superstore, although the era when I would go to a store and browse has long since ended (for better or worse).  I'd also wonder what the timetable is, as I'm leaving for a seven week trip in under three weeks. Any suggestions on what to do would be very welcome, whether about the rattle or the grip, together or independently.  Thank you!
    • I'm glad to know that picking up grass and letting it go doesn't help.  It felt like it shouldn't, but I'm glad to hear there's a good reason why.  It makes sense that wind is different higher up than it is near the surface. For a while, I was in the habit of checking the prevailing wind direction before playing.  That helped if I wasn't sure.  However, I still am not really sure whether something is a 5% wind or a 10% wind (and, of course, I know that a "helping" wind helps about half as much as the same wind hurting).   One of these days, I'll learn how to figure out what to do differently if the prevailing wind is 10mph vs 20 mph.
