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.

Had the most amazing time at the Pattaya singles week. Was truly sad when it was over. The courses we're awesome second only to all the people I met from all over the world some of Wich I plan on staying in contact with. The golf Asian staff was better than they enen probably had to be from start to finish. I will be recommending this trip to everyone I know and plan on using golf Asian every year for as long as I am physically able. Thanks again can't wait to see next year's tounament line up.

Just back from great 3 week trip with Golfasian, visiting Hua Hin, Bangkok and Pattaya. Golf Asian arranged everything from arrival at Bangkok airport to departure. All we had to do was turn up, play golf and have fun. Every transfer, hotel and golf course went smoothly. Every golfer should experience golf in Thailand. Golfasian highly recommended.

Just back from a 4 night trip to Phuket for 54 holes of golf, at Blue Canyon (Lakes Course), Laguna and Loch Palm. All fantastically organised (flights excluded) by Win. We started with 7 people went down to 5 and then back up to six, and then 1 departing a day early. All the changes were handled smoothly and with out complaint by the Golfasian team. From arrival to departure everything was smooth and on time. I've already recommended their services to another group looking for a trip later in the year. This group will be back again. Thank you to all involved.
