Only got 3, but with my handicap I am allowed 4 extra shots making it 7.

Speaking with a high-pitched voice > I visited a Thai golf-course once but failed to notice the sign, something which I now dearly regret...

4 of 5 - missed the local Thailand Open.

Some say having compulsory caddies in Thailand is a bad thing. But given it is compulsory, then the wife never has a problem with it when we play there.  However, I am suspecting the reason I get the prettier one is that she knows that I get a bit  'distracted', and she knows can beat me easier  (win/win)

Are caddies only compulsory for foreigners over here?

No - Thais too.  But having said that, there are some local cheap courses that are used mainly by local Thais (not on Google etc) and they have Caddies that are optional - but no carts (walk only).  We played at one when I was coaching the wife, because it was OK for her to practice shots and putts again and again. But we always used a caddie - less than half price compared to what they cost at the 'resort/tourist' courses. Plus we always gave a tip - the local Thais rarely did.

I'm all for the caddie system  Actually, my worst ever round was in Thailand. I wonder why?

2/5

All guesswork, golf not being my favourite sport.

Any quiz about lying on the sofa watching tv and I surely will get a 5 !!

4 out of 5.

For still having a sex life, that seems to be ok. Methinks ;-)
