Dear GG Guru, My wife wants to learn to play the game. Is this a good idea? And should I teach her? I’ve heard from some of my friends that this could be a big mistake! MB Boston, MA, USA

On last golf play improvement posts we covered the importance of having golf lessons and choosing the right equipment – but its simply not enough. The bad news is that you really must practice if you are serious about improving your game. Have you noticed how the better players seem to practice more than they play? This really is the only sure way to improve and become a good golfer. But most of us hate to practice, or just don’t have the time. When you are free for golf, you want to play.

Editor: In this third and final part Of Aiming for Green, Paul sums up his perspective on the “new ” thinking about golf course development in Asia
“Golf courses – like many things – are not simply good or evil,” Bruce Tolentino, a director at The Asia Foundation, points out. Some are wasteful or environmentally destructive, while others are as environmentally friendly as current technology allows. “As we learn more about the environmental impact of what we do,” Tolentino says, “we see courses adjusting in response.”
I still needed to see for myself. So I went to Cambodia to see how to handle the challenge of buildings a course in a seasonally dry region. In designing the new Phokeethra course in the historic city… …
