Bangkok, Thailand — 11 February 2012
4-year-old Wilding Golf Student Sets New Thailand Record as the Youngest Player to Make a ‘Hole-in-One’ at the Singha – ISF Juniors Golf Par 3 Open 2012

Ratchanon Chantananuwat (T.K.), 4 years and 10 months old and a student of Wilding Golf Performance Centers in Bangkok, Thailand set a new International Sport Federation (ISF) record for the youngest golfer in Thailand to make a hole-in-one at the Singha – ISF Junior Par 3 Open Tournament.

T.K. shot the hole-in-one from a tee shot at the 84th yard, 6th hole, Par 3 at the Bangplee Golf Course in Thailand. His perfect drive created an exciting moment for the other golfers and tournament audience.

T.K. began playing when he was only 3 years old and is supported by his dad, Khun Tara Chantananuwat. T.K. shows great improvement since taking serious lessons with Wilding Golf Head Instructor Matthew Wiltshire. Khun Tara said that T.K. “showed obvious development and improvement after only 5 or 6 golf lessons with Wilding Golf Instructor Matthew.”

As long as T.K. enjoys playing golf, Khun Tara will keep supporting him as far as he can go. Wilding Golf wishes T.K. continued success in the future! Congratulations T.K.! We are very proud of you!
