A fair way of finding Thailand's golf courses
Article Abstract:
Golf is the most popular sport in Thailand, as reflected by the opening of scores of golf clubs in the country. Although the sport is one Thailand's main attractions, it is also a hazard to pedestrians because of the lack of directions to the fairways where the courses are located. Veteran golfer Neil ffrench-Blake's wrote a book entitled 'Thailand Gold Guide' to provide golfers directions to the country's 180-plus golf courses. The books contains maps, photographs and short descriptions of the courses.

Windsurfer carries Hong Kong's hopes for gold
Article Abstract:
Hong Kong athlete Lee Laishan hopes to win her country's first gold ever during the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games in windsurfing. Lee had trained rigorously for the event for three years and won several honors during that time such as in 1993 when she won the world championship for the sport. With Lee's impending success, Hong Kong can add the sport to badminton, table tennis and a martial art known as 'wushu' to its list of activities where it excels in international competitions.
