For the shakers and movers in your industry, the chief executives and their fellow directors who have the power to influence and make important decisions there is no better way of getting them out of their ivory towers than the prospect of rubbing shoulders with a PGA golf professional.
Someone whom they will respect and who has achieved success in their field of operation, where your prospect or client may be reluctant to give up valuable time for a business lunch the opportunity of playing a round of golf with a PGA professional is much more appealing, especially if they are golfers.
A Pro-am tournament creates the opportunity to get to know your prospects or clients in a totally social environment, it creates a situation where you can build relationships through golf that will lead to a better business relationship in the future.
For those really important clients that you want to reward and impress why not let Golfasian run your corporate Pro-am Golf Tournament, the ideal number of guests to have at a tournament of this kind is 15-24 with a PGA golf professional joining each group of 3 to form a four-ball.
Golfasian will take care of everything, find the golf professionals and take care of all the tournament administration and organization. The example tournament below illustrates how a typical Pro-am corporate golf tournament would operate and the associated budget costs.

Chris recommended I change my hotel accommodations and allow Golfasian to arrange my Bangkok trip and golf tee times. I'm so glad I did because the hotel, the transportation, and the four golf courses they arranged were excellent. I was in the Soi 11 area, so everything was within walking distance. I had a great time for my first visit to Thailand, and I will certainly use Golfasian again for my golf trip to Pattaya next year.

I have just returned from a trip to Cambodia where Golfasian organised 3 rounds around Siem Reap this was very well run with all the drivers and people behind the scenes being very professional and making this so easy to just turn up and play with no worries at all

Golfasian dealt with our entire trip to Bangkok, we were given an agent who dealt with all our questions and many changes to cater for a group of 8. All our transfers and golf was spot on and absolutely no hick ups. We would highly recommend Golfasian and will definitely be booking through them again nxt time we’re visiting Asia! Big thanks to Jaja (our agent) for all her hard work!
