Travelling overseas requires a bit of planning. It has happened to the best of us that we have forgotten the one or other essential.
We have put together a check-list for you to print out when packing your bags for your next golf holiday in Asia.
Let us know if we forgot anything. Keys – Simple
Wallet – Crucial
Passport – Missed two flights leaving this behind
Tickets – Ok you can reprint these but ...
It’s coming to that special time of the year when you can turn on your out of office and get ready for some time away on the fairways, with a bit of luck! Booking Early – Usually golf is top priority in a golf holiday to Thailand! If you want tee times that suit your group the best way to ensure it is to book early, the ...
One (Nueng): If your caddie says “Nice putt” can usually be translated to “useless putt.”
Two (Song) : The more expensive the golf ball the more water-magnetic it is! Buy them by the bag outside of the golf course! Will you find at some courses men swimming in the lakes and rivers, poised waiting for your ball! You can sometimes buy it back for a small ...
Identifying or searching for a ball covered by loose impediments in a hazard
I recently hit my ball into one of the many bunkers lining the fairways at Springfield in Hua Hin.
I thought it might be buried but I couldn’t see it. I finally found what I thought was the ball! My playing partner told me I could sweep away some sand to check it was ...
Coming from England we have reds tees for juniors and ladies, yellows for men and general play and whites for competitions.
Not in Asia – There can be four, five or six sets if tees at each golf course! However choosing the right one can have a big impact on your golf holiday.
Look at the yardages and course map before you start or ask us what ...
I can’t think of a golf course I’ve played in Bangkok that doesn’t have some kind of water hazard running through it…. In fact there is generally some kind of hazard on every hole!
Playing at Panya Indra one scorching hot Sunday afternoon in November our group reached the 537 yard Par 5 third hole on the C Course. It was going to take two cannons ...
When I first came to Thailand 11 years ago I carried just two woods and a full set of irons including a 3 & 4 iron. Now I find it is easier to carry a five wood and two hybrids because the modern woods go the grass much easier, and here in Thailand the grass is much thicker to resist the high temperatures. My tip ...
Golf balls are quite heavy to carry in your golf bag, and with the weight restriction of the airlines, it’s a good option to buy your balls when you arrive. Leather gloves do not last very long in this heat and if you sweat a lot, a good tip is to bring two or three all weather gloves with you, as its likely you will ...
Unless you are travelling with Emirates Airlines who do not charge for golf equipment, the weight allowance can be a problem especially with some of the low cost carriers such as Air Asia.
Leave your golf balls at home as they are quite heavy, and they are very cheap and easy to buy here. I bought 30 grade A golf balls at Loch Palm last week ...
Often, we get asked the question if one should bring their own clubs or rent clubs at the golf courses here in Thailand.
Despite the fact that you actually can rent clubs at most golf courses in Thailand for about 1,000 Thai Baht for a standard set and up to 1,500 Thai Baht for a quality make such as Ping or Callaway we recommend that you ...
I am often asked by my customers when the best time to tee-off is when you play golf in Asia. Many people choose to tee-off in the morning which is their personal choice and it would be my recommendation too particularly in the low season which is generally from July to October. If you are going to get rain at this time of year its ...
Alignment is how you line up to your target. It’s important in achieving your goals, because a great swing and poor alignment does not make a happy golfer. In putting, it’s particularly important, and the better you get, the more crucial it becomes.
There are a lot of ways you can properly align yourself to your target. When you look at the target and away from ...
Posture is how you set up to the ball, very important and one of the main fundamentals of golf. Everything is built on this foundation and if you have a problem here, it’ll show up later in your swing, possibly disguised as something else. Stance:
Feet should be shoulder width, both feet slightly flared, toes pointing out about five to ten degrees.
Knee flex:
Minimal knee flex. ...
Most golfers have a great fear of being in bunker, leaving the ball in the bunker, fear of blasting it over the green, fear of looking foolish, etc. It’s not so difficult with a good technique The clubface must be open at address Opening the face effectively exposes the all-important bounce of your sand wedge, which allows it to easily slide under the golf ball.
You must ...
An average of 43 percent of the strokes you make in a game of golf will be putts. The next highest is your woods, at 25 percent, followed by 13 percent chipping, 10 percent irons, and 5 percent hazard shots.
Putting is incredibly important. Most people want to hit the ball farther and straighter. That’s important, but effective putting makes the difference between an average golfer ...
With dozens of grips, hundreds of heads and thousands of shafts making for literally millions of club combinations, more of us are turning to custom fitters to make sense of the equipment minefield.
It is a fact that 90 per cent of golfers are playing either the wrong clubs and shafts, or inappropriate specifications for their game. Out of every ten golfers, nine will probably need ...
Plenty of times I have been asked what can I do to make the ball go further and straighter, well if I had the magic potion, I would be selling it on the PGA tour by the litre.
Hitting the golf ball straighter and further comes down to 5 basic laws 1. SPEED
The velocity with which the clubhead is traveling. Speed influences the distance the ball ...
This months tip is how to get the best results from your hybrid. The caddies in Thailand will call this club “Mei Khatoey” meaning half wood half iron, or “ladyboy” as they so passionately call it.
Hybrid clubs are incredibly useful from the close cut fairways and long grass that the courses in Thailand have, as long as you know how to swing one. You’d be ...
As if putting wasn’t hard enough already, you pack your clubs to come play in Thailand and you come up against a different style of grass that you haven’t played before.
If you’re from the tropics then you are familiar putting with, against and across the grain.
The grain generally follows either the direction in which water drains off the green, or it grows towards the setting ...
Six years ago there were no international standard golf courses in Cambodia. Today there are three 18 hole championship venues, all in Siem Reap. Siem Reap is best known as the home of UNESCO World Heritage site Angkor Wat and several other ancient Khmer temples. and that continues to be the main draw for foreign visitors, however now there is reason for golfers to stick ...
Da Nang / Hoi An (China Beach)
A beautiful and unspoiled beach, the UNESCO World Heritage town of Hoi An, and 2 great golf courses designed by Colin Montgomerie (Montgomerie Links) and Greg Norman (Danang Golf Club) (maybe the 2 best in the entire country). Getting there involves connecting via a domestic flight from either Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi (several flights daily), though once ...
It is perceived by most amateur golfers that sand shot or bunker shot is often one of the most intimidating shots to execute, and can often leave a golfer discouraged.
As I have mentioned before, I believe that this game is 60% mental and 40% physical; therefore what we see and believe we will do with a golf club is most of the time what does ...
So you have arrived in Thailand and had your first game of golf here and it looks like to you forgot to pack your game! It seems like anything you try just seems to make things worse.
One area of the game that is so simple yet so confusing and overlooked for the average golfer, is the alignment and is generally the root of all evils ...
Our golfing trip of 8 people to Vietnam has just finished sadly. We started off in Ho Chi Minh City, then Danang and finally Hanoi with a two night HaLong Bay cruise to have some R & R after 7 golf games plus some sightseeing. Thank you to everyone at Golfasian from the first enquiry, finalising an itinerary and then our time in Vietnam. Everything ran so smoothly and professionally that we didn't need to stress over any of the arrangements at all. Miss Huong was so helpful with all aspects of our tour and also in organising catering for non seafood eaters wherever we went on our itinerary. The drivers during our stay were friendly and obliging from Tony in Ho Chi Minh, Lucky in Danang and Mr Simon in Hanoi was especially helpful and informative and more than happy to answer any questions plus also give suggestions which we were grateful for. We could not fault the service from Golfasian and would not hesitate to recommend them and use them again.

13 of us have just concluded our annual golf trip and this year was organised through GolfAsian Vietnam. Had the best ever experience from first enquiry to finally getting rid of us 😀. No dramas whatsoever from the known drama queens in our group 🤣 which is a good thing! I would like to especially acknowledge Ms Sophie and our guide for the trip Harry for an exceptional job. You will be getting our business again definitely!! On behalf of Good Morning Vietnam Golf Tour 2018 Good job everyone🏌️♂️
Patrick Chan
Just got back from Hua Hin and Bangkok, 10 games in 14 days. Once again, great service from Darren and Por and the team at Golfasian
Clive Helps
Perfect organization of our Vietnam trip, individual golf places with a very good support during the trip.
Kerstin Stumpf-Trautmann
My mates and I have been doing golfing trips to Asia for 10 years now. This time we used Golfasian and they were the best so far. You just want reliability with these arrangements and Golfasian provided that with very friendly, english speaking drivers. Good work Golfasian, we'll be back next year.
Jeff Pattinson
Best golf tour service in Asia! We have been using them for our golf trips in Thailand before Covid, and it's great to be back again and the service is still as good as ever! Thanks a lot for the team.
Claire Hsiao
I was in Thailand and my golf was set by Mr. Win. There were some complications from my side as I had to change dates of trip. Mr Win was very flexible with that and organize all to new dates. I visited and played at almost all golf courses near Pukhet - all of them in very good condition. Some of them are not really for higher HCP player... I would not hesitate to organize my next trip with Mr Win !
Vavro Lubomir
Great golfcourses in Bangkok. Good service from Darren and the team at Golfasian
Sandra Hoogerdijk-Joannes
I spent 2 weeks in Thailand playing 6 rounds in the Bangkok area, fantastic organisation from the guys at GA and nothing was too much hassle, definitely recommend.
Brian Gibson
Just had 17 of my members from Mt Derrimut Melb, Aust play and stay in Hua HIN through Golfasia. From pick up in Bangkok to being dropped off to head home, Ian Morgan and his staff could not have been more helpful. Courses were amazing.
