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.

We just returned from a 15 day golf and cultural tour of Thailand. the golf courses were superb and the tours interesting and informative. Golf Asian was on top of things when our flight from Chiang Mai to Bangkok was delayed and we were met by our driver with no problem. Thanks for a wonderful time.

Our small party of 4 did a 4 day golf tour, 1 day at Thai Country Club in Bangkok, then 3 days in Hua Hin covering Imperial Lakeview Resort, Banyan and Black Mountain. Golf Asian did a 1st class job of all the arrangements including golf bookings, hotels and transportation. Their service is highly recommended and at a reasonable cost. Well done to all the staff at Golf Asian tour company. We will be back.

March 2019 marked our fourth and best golf trip so far. This time we visited Hua Hin and Pattaya and Golf Asian out did themselves. Our Bus driver “Rocky” in Hua Hin looked after us perfectly as did “Moo” in Pattaya. Actually Moo has been one of our bus drivers on every trip and we love him to bits. His little giggle of a laugh when listening to our antics is hilarious 😆 We also had the absolute delight of having Bua accompany us on most trips. Bua stayed with us and made sure everything was perfect until we had all teed off. So thanks to Golf Asian, rest assured we will be seeing you all again 👍🏼

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.

We were in Bali for 4 nights and 5 days golfing trip, had a wonderful holiday. Golfasian's service is super from booking, transport, accomodation and golf games. Special thanks to our drivers, Wira and Wayan who are pleasant and helpful. Thus, we had the opportunity to taste the authentic local food. Thank you very much, Golfasian Bali !

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🏌️♂️
