Much of this burgeoning popularity can be attributed to the recent evolution of the sport. Equipment manufacturers have been pumping out a massive array of hi-tech, hi-performance and attractive looking gear — adding tremendous appeal and intrigue to the once traditional, low-tech sport. Colossal prize money, superstar players and round-the-clock media coverage have also driven interest in the sport.

And quietly in the background at the game's top level, the past several years has also seen the development of revolutionary new performance technologies. Ones that integrate computer analysis and intuitive training methods, with equipment optimized to each player's game.

These technologies have allowed golfers to improve their performance quickly and with stunning results, but until now, have primarily been reserved for the sport's Touring Elite. With the opening of the Wilding Golf Performance Center in Bangkok these technological advantages enjoyed by the world's top players are now available to golfers of all skill levels, seven days a week.

Founded by Shane Wilding, an internationally renowned golf coach, the Wilding Golf Performance Center provides a blend of world-class training, state-of-the-art technology and advanced equipment to help players achieve their full golf potential and get the most out of their game.

"Golf has developed at an incredible pace across Asia however, the technology and training available in the region is still very traditional. Until now, golfers living in Asia have had to travel to the US, at considerable expense, to improve their game at state-of-the-art training facilities such as our Bangkok Performance Center," said Wilding.

Having earned international status as a top golf coach, Wilding is known for his remarkably keen eye and deep understanding of golfers, their abilities, deficiencies and patterns. These attributes combined with his natural teaching ability have developed into a highly-successful instruction method that is simple to understand, showing players what and why things go wrong and how to correct and improve their performance and consistency.

His innovative coaching style and passion for knowledge has kept Wilding on the leading-edge of golf performance technology and positioned Wilding Golf as a pioneer in the region. Wilding's desire to provide golfers of all levels with access to the same technology and training methods used by the game's top players has materialized into a training system and facility on par with the best available anywhere in the world.

"Golf is not a difficult game if you've been taught correctly, and given the right information on equipment." — Shane Wilding
