Thailand

Programme 6

The last programme in the series sees Peter in Thailand searching for that idyllic blend of the oriental with some great golf.

His first stop is at the Blue Canyon Course near Phuket where he meets up with Christopher Lee – the arch villain of the screen and Scaramouche in the Bond Film “The Man with the Golden Gun”. Christopher Lee is back to visit James Bond island for the first time in 23 years since filming there in 1974.

Next Peter travels up to see the River Kwai Bridge and ponder over the 30,000 lives lost on the railway. Whilst there he stops off at the Nichigo Course, which is close by and has a miniature replica bridge on one of its holes. the attraction there was the opportunity to join Miss Thailand’s visist to the course where they discuss putting tactics.

Finally he travels south again to Royal Hua Hin, where the Thai Royal family once played and where a royal railway coach is sited beside the course for their convenience. Here Peter meets up with Australian, David Campese one of the most famous names in world rugby. The world’s leading try scorer, David was an under 18 golf champion in Australia and is an extremely useful 10 handicap player – who given the time should easily make close to scratch.
