Story - Duangdecha's Day At Thailand Open
(From Chan Song - Team SeeMore - ASIA) Udorn Duangdecha, 39 years old, has been using the Si 1 @ 33 inches since June 2010 and he has been doing well on the local circuit ( ranked 3rd ) , Asian Tour (ranked 62 ) and OneAsia Tour. He hails from the 2nd largest city in Thailand calls Chiang Mai. This is where I spent the first 10 years of my life before moving to America.
Udorn is one of the best ball strikers I have ever seen but has always been a streaky putter. I use to spend hours on the driving range in Chiang Mai watching him hit these lovely towering drives and crisp iron shots onto the range. He approached me a couple months ago after he found out I was doing the managing SeeMore Asia and quickly remembers Payne Stewart. I gave him a few putters to try and he finally found the right in the Si1. He has always been a center shaft putter and he knew our RST technology would benefit him. He love the idea that our putters can put him an edge over his competion. He said to me that golf already has way too many variables and with our putters he can find consistency and something "he can hang his hat on" under pressure.
Good Luck the next 2 rounds Udorn!
