    MARINA BAY GOLF COURSE, Singapore

    For those long hitters I have some very good news. Singapore's first and only par-6 isopen for play at Marina Bay Golf Course. Golfers can now tee off from the island'slongest hole. Originally a par-5, the 4th hole at Marina Bay Golf Course has undergone areconfiguration and stretching to a 716 yard par-6. The extended fairway doglegs to theright to a blind green from the location of their second shot. For long hitters, a pond andtrees come into play on the right side of a narrow fairway. Marina Bay Golf Course hasconsistently come in the top three for 'Best Course in Singapore' and 'Best Value forMoney Experience'. It was further was awarded 'Best Public Golf Course in Asia-Pacific' atthe 2015 Asian Golf Awards. In the coming months I heard Marina Bay Golf Course will betest marketing six balls-per-flight. Let's hope not as a round of golf mixed with fourballs; playing the new par-6 is slow enough!

    The October months sees the weather starting to cool down and it's a great time to visitbefore the busy season when all the hotels and golf courses increase their rates.

    Two of the Pattaya Golf courses have hosted the Thailand Open (Siam Plantation) andLPGA Honda Classic (Siam Old Course) previously, and there is talk of the SiamWaterside hosting the 2017 LPGA. I'm sure these three championship golf courses will bea stern test for all the golfers attending the Pattaya Golf Week.

    In Chiang Mai in October, we start to see a dew on the ground early morning and thegolf courses are in great shape, no more so than Alpine Country Club which hosts theAlpine Masters each year. This golf courses follows through the valleys and mountainsthat surround the course. There are streams, ponds and bunkers all in strategic positionsto add to the golfer's visual delight. Special mention must be made of the Par 3 15thhole, an island green that, at only 129 yards from the white tees, seems to turnseasoned golfers into beginners and reaching for their old golf balls.

    My name is Mohamad. A close friend of mine and 18 other golfers who went on this tripare from Malaysia. We are all members of the Royal Perak Golf Club in Ipoh, to the northof the country. The club was opened over 50 years ago and has the Patronage of theState's Ruler. I have been a golfer since the late 80s and all the group have played forover 10 years. My handicap is 15 and the rest range from 8 to 18.

    This was our first trip to Vietnam for our golf because usually we go to Indonesia 2-3times a year, particularly Jakarta and Surabaya. I booked the package with GolfasianVietnam and my comact was Mr Dang Khao who was very professional. He was quite ableto recommend the best Hotel and courses in Ho Chi Minh City.

    Though the weather is hot at an average of 36C we didn't mind as it was similar to whatwe experience in Malaysia. We were however, struck with the exceptional beauty of thegolf courses.

    The first day we played at Long Thanh Golf Club. It mesmerised us the minute weentered the property as its gorgeous fairways ran alongside the road. Everything wasnew for us and there was a buzz of excitement. When we arrived at the clubhouse all ourmembers were so impressed; the registration was fast and hassle free especially with theassistance of our guide Mr Tony.

    For the best golf in Chiang Mai, I drive outof town past rice fields, buffaloes, andmountains to the Chiang Mai HighlandsGolf Resort & Spa. As soon as I arrive atthe Chiang Mai Highlands Golf Resort &Spa their helpful staff and smiling caddiesliterally take over to start my Thai golfday.

The article gives us lots ofuseful information but if you get caughtwith a storm nearby don't allow the caddiesto influence you to continue to play whilelightning is in the area (they are remarkablysanguine). If things are bad, a drink stop orthe clubhouse offer a great view of theinevitable "fireworks".
