Golf – With Taekyung Kim at Nikanti Bangkok

Date: Sep 25, 2024

Specially requested by KC & Taekyung, I have asked Thomas Kum (My Golf Tour Agent) to arrange a game here. Nikanti Golf Club.

The locker room is so nice.

This blog is the second last game I played with my coach Taekyung Kim. Let’s start show their swings.. haha

KC played from the black tee.

Wah, Nikanti first hole, not easy. It is par 5.

Of course, both pros will get their ball on.

KC really loves to play here. He told me his Korean friends could not book here and surprise that I was able to make this game happen at Nikanti.

The par-3. Not easy too. Water on the left, and huge bunker on the right, hmmm….

When you play with coach, she wants to take a lot of your video so you can see where is your mistake. hahahaha

Aiya, I hit it to the bunker on the left, a bit short.

Just look at Coach Taekyung swing. So good tempo, slow backswing, and then slow downswing and powerful followthru. And it is on, almost side by side with KC.

I enjoyed so much on that day. Playing with two coaches, two Korean pros. Yeah…

But every shot you do, you must know where is the mistake ya. Some how my body go backwards , i.e. Reverse Pivot.

Once you learned your mistake, dont do it again. I actually hit quite ok for this following tee shots.

Coach Taekyung one even better. So straight. Tempo so good.

This par-4 about 280yards. KC tries to tee off and put it on! Just 10m from the green towards right of green.

That is where his ball landed, around 15yard away from the green. Wahahahaha

Time to advertise why we like to come here.

Every tee off is so sweet.

This is hole-6, the signature hole. Because of the palm tree obstructing your tee shots.

WOW, KC had a good shot. Hit over the tree.

Coach Taekyung also hit over the palm trees.

Aiya, too much mental. hahahahahaha I hit one to the left, then I mulligan, hit this one to the right. wahahaha

Not only the palm trees. The ending has a lot of bunkers too.

Take a look at how coach Taekyung landed her approach nicely on the green regardless of how many bunkers are there.

Just hit a nice tee shot. Ya I have not played with KC for a long time, He actually says my driver distance improved, my approach and irons shot improved, and my chipping also improved too. Of course I am happy la.

Not easy to become Coach Taekyung GF or Wife, need to help take lots of photos and videos. See KC doing a good job. Nice shot!!!

Here is the shot sequences.

Why Par-5 again??? Oh, Nikanti has 6x par-3s, 6x par-4s and 6x par-5s. A very strange course, but very nice to play.

Coach KC is going to put 2-on to the green again. Aiya, into the bunker…

This is KC teeing off for the par 3.

Coach Taekyung tee off too straight to the right, no draw… hahaha. Playing with me is actaully very fun, as I got a lot of comments.. wahahahahaha

The chipping is so precise, have to land just outside the green, and then let it roll down… Good chip…

Both coach put it on for their 2nd shots, mine just miss outside green. wahahaha

Have to tee off in between the trees.. nice tee off for coach KC.

Coach KC swing sequence…

Gotta tell’ya that by watching how she swing the club, the tempo, and how her ball fly so straight.. it is really good… and always learn a lot from Coach Taekyung…

Actually coach KC tee shot is very good and straight but unfortunately, there is a huge patch of rough over there… wahahahaha her ball went into the rough… We will see how Pro does it … how KC get himself out of trouble… you can see coach Taekyung is very happy to see that, because by now their score is neck to neck very close… if he is in trouble, means, she has a chance to win. Yes, they always compete each other.

Coach KC and see how he handled this THICK THICK rough… Coach Taekyung already get her phone camera video down this memorable moment… yeap, she is definitely smiling… Oh, just have to be slow backswing and commit the take away, the ball fly out easily…

Next, KC with another par-3. Crispy sound and on!!! Best shot of the day…

Next, coach Taekyung…

Here she took my swing video again… I am glad it is a good shot…

Coach KC tee off near the club house… wow… straight straight ya…

Coach Taekyung miss shot. First time see this today.. hwhahahahaha a bit too right…

This is a great hole… left water all the way, right a lot of bunker all the way… i decided to play more clubs here.

Wah.. coach Taekyung hit it so nice… I rememeber i pulled my shot into the bunker in this hole..

Another Par-3… yes, there are six Par-3 in Nikanti…

Good shot in between the bunker… nearly hole in one… Great shot Taekyung!!!

After seeing the near HIO from his fiance, coach KC wanted to do similar shot too.. but a bit right…

Next, my fear shot.. need to clear the huge water infront… i think 150m only … did not go into water…

Best shot of the day…

My last tee off. went to the right side. I think it is safe.

That concludes our golf game together with the two coaches Taekyung and KC.

I told them, whenever they wanted to come to Bangkok again, can always check my schedule, if can meet the schedule, then, we can always play together again.. I am going to miss both of them so much. Thanks for helping me to improve my golf swing, my game, my body, and most of all the knowledge…
