Thailand's top-ranked Golfer Kiradech Aphibarnrat is on a massive weight-reduction spree. And his endeavour to get lean and fit will inspire you to shed that extra flab.

The 28-year-old golfer has already shed close to 20 kilograms and given away dozens of shirts and trousers as he continues on a massive weight-reduction campaign that has seen measurable benefits to his form.

                                    Kiradech currently weighs 108 kilograms with a goal of getting down to 105 kilograms

The European Tour website once listed Kiradech's weight as 120 kilograms but that was some four months ago before the Bangkok-born golfer decided to lose weight.

The 28-year-old currently weighs 108 kilograms with a goal of getting down to 105 kilograms.

This decision has been prompted by a move at the start of the season to work with renowned England-born coach Peter Cowen.

"I just thought now that I am working with Peter that it would be an ideal time to lose some weight and get myself stronger," he said. "I feel that when I can get my swing to the position Peter and I are working towards then I can keep trying to lose more weight.

"All I am doing to watching closely what I do eat and try to eat more heathier foods while I have started working out and that is something I have never undertaken before.

"I have been on the Asian Tour and European Tour for 11 years without walking into any sort of gym whatever and wouldn't know what a treadmill is. "So, I have started going to the gym back home with my good friends who I grew up with and I do feel everything is going the right way."

Kiradech's weight-loss program has certainly kept his clothing attire and sponsors busy given the large number of shirts he says he has sought only to find a fortnight later the shirts are far too big for him.

"Losing so much weight has meant I have dozens of new shirts and trousers that no longer fit me but then my father is happy as he is the same weight I was before I started losing weight," he said smiling.

Kiradech will this week tee-up in European Tour's Nedbank Golf Challenge at Sun City in South Africa.

It will be his 10th event in a marathon run of 11 weeks and a journey that has taken Kiradech to the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Holland, Portugal, Britain, Italy, China, Turkey and now South Africa.
