This month, I took a trip to the Kohr Golf facilities to see an academy session take place and meet Mai Dechathipat. Mai is the only female instructor on staff, a previous World Long Drive Champion, and has an interesting background with spending her summers at Kohr, traveling back to Thailand, and finally getting the work visa to stay on staff with Kohr. She continues to train for the World Long Drive Competition while working with the academy kids. If you haven't had the chance to meet Mai, I highly recommend getting to know her with me.
