I'll be cheering Thonchai on, however as a weekend golfer, I would watch more Asian and European golf if they 'always' gave the drive distance off the Tee and "Especially" the approach shot to the
hole with the club used if possible as a bonus - much lke they do in the States - makes me feel more interactive with the game.
