To What Extent Do You Practice Golf?

How diligently do you practice golf, Pro Uan (Pro Nanthawat Siriporn) called me at the hospital and asked for my assistance in writing a piece for Galaxy Golf. He asked me if I'm available this evening to go practice golf at the railway field, to help him analyze his swing and discuss work matters. After finishing my work, I hurriedly met Pro Uan and bought six trays of golf balls. We stretched and warmed up, then began practicing continuously until we were drenched in sweat. Pro Uan was incredibly kind and offered me his guidance, saying that my swing was improving. After exhausting ourselves, Pro Uan asked me to help him with some writing to provide knowledge for golfers. He even generously offered me a free golf lesson and invited me to watch another one. I gladly accepted his offer with utmost gratitude.

It appears to be a very simple game, just hitting the ball with a golf club into the hole from a distance of only 3 to 4 feet, but it can still be missed.
Some golfers can hit the ball over 300 yards. How is that possible?

Once he had his own golf bag, he practiced every day, Saturday to Sunday, from morning till night.
He underwent intense military training, running and exercising every day, which instilled discipline in his practice.
He became a pro golfer seeking excellence.

We are proud to have the first Thai player to participate in The Masters at Augusta on April 6, 2549, and the first Thai player to complete all four Major tournaments, exemplified by half-Thai golfer, Tiger Woods.

In the book "Tiger Woods: How I Play Golf," while others may be able to beat him in golf competitions, no one can surpass him in terms of intense practice.
As the world's number one golfer, fluent in English, he was asked if he still needed to practice that hard. He replied that he was the last person on the practice range yesterday and returned to the same question: "To what extent do you practice golf?"

The answer is:
