Hole 1 of the Laem Chabang International Country Club is a par-4, handicap-indexed 3, and is 306 yds long from the white tees. Our caddies never gave us any caution so we teed off into trouble - me into water, Jimmy into the trees on the left and Raymond OB right. Naturally, we had disaster scores. Laem Chabang has 3 nines - Mountain (A),Lake (B) and Valley (C). The A-B combination we played is 6,082 yds from white tees, and is slope-rated 122 and course-rated 68.6. Course was designed by Jack Nicklaus.
