Director of Golf Events for Golfasian, Mark Penfold, was with the group this year and noted that it was the largest field that had been assembled in Hua Hin and the trend is growing for the Thailand Amateur Golf Week series
“Each event we are seeing an increase of around 30% on the previous events, and now with 6 events through the year, golfers are flocking to the 5 main golf destinations to play the best that Thailand has on offer” commented Mark.
“Each event, we offer a range of 3, 4 and 5 star accommodation and we seed the top four golfers for the final day of the event and this year we had an American, Singaporean, Philippino and Australian, add to this, golfers from Poland, Dubai, South Africa and Denmark, makes it quite an international field.”
