July 2016 Edition

Dear Golf Travelers,

Welcome to the latest issue of theAsian Golf Nation, the source fornews breaking information aboutgolf in Asia. In addition, unique golfplaying tips for South East Asia'stropical environment,announcements of golf travelpromotions, and our latesttournament offers are all parts of thisnewsletter.

The summer is in full swing and atime for golf holidays and lazing around. This is a season of cloudy and cooler weather, perfect for golfing. But moreimportantly, this is the period in the calendar where green fees and hotel ratesare lower than usual and there are no golf tourist crowds. In my opinion, thereisn't a better time to golf in Asia than during this season.

Even in the drought stricken Hua Hin area there has been rain so that the golfcourses there are looking much better than previously reported. The centralVietnam and northern Thailand destinations like Danang and Chiang Mai areseeing overcast days with overnight showers. Further south in Malaysia andSingapore the heavy monsoon season is working through and like clockwork theskies open up every day at 3PM. Make sure to tee off early if you are golfing inthese destinations.

What better time to golf in Asia than these next 3-4 months? Not only are theworld-class golf courses at their greenest, but there also are numerouspromotional offers around the region.

Destinations such as Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia are attractive due toaffordable green fees and a wide choice of value-for-money accommodation. It isalso the green season in Cambodia and Laos. This is a time for excellent golf

weather and to explore these countries at much cheaper rates than usual.Moreover, even with the economic turmoil in Europe and the UK, the current lowvalue of the Asian currencies is an added bonus. Our tour specials can be foundhere.

What about Golfasian? At the moment we should be in the low season, but thanksto your support, we are continuing to welcome new and returning golferholidaymakers each and every day.

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!

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.

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".

Other golf stories can be found at the Thailand Golf Zone, Vietnam Golf Zone, PhuketGolf Zone and Vietnam Golf Tourism Blogs where there are over 1,600 original golfarticles & commentary dealing exclusively with golf in Asia and golf travel.
