Brian, a subscriber and playa, visited me while I was in Chiang Mai for a month in January. We jammed a few courses and Haripunchai in Lampang or Lamphun was one of them. I wanted to jam with only a few clubs, because I hadn’t done it in a while.

Let me tell you sum’in…this is the most stress-free golf you can play.
Your expectations are gone. You know your limits. You know you can’t do more than you have in the bag.
I fell victim to the stress though by trying to smash a couple of balls that got me into trouble. This is the irony. We get so worried about the carry or the water or whatever, so we get tense because we want to hit it harder.
Actually what we end up doing is losing distance because our muscles are not functioning properly and we do the exact thing we were worried about. We go way off target, hit it shorter and end up kicking ourselves for no good reason. Idiots!
With these sorts of rounds, you learn to set up your next shot and try get it to a position that is comofrtable for you. This is the key element. you only have a certain number of “shots” in your arsenal so you need to use them as best you can. Any in between shots and you’re behind the 8-ball.
Now of course this course wasn’t the longest but it also wasn’t entirely short. If it was longer, all I would need is to add a 4 iron and remove the PW. Then the concept is the same. Hit 4 iron off the tee, try set up shots comofrtable for me into the holes.
You also release the attachment to the result of a hole with this type of game. you are not expecting much and probably expecting the worst. You soon realize that a bogey or a double is not the worst thing in the world.
You also realize you can FIGHT for a hole to completion. You can always save a par or a bogey. Just keep going and try prove the system wrong by knuckling down and jamming with what you got!
