Welcome to our June edition of the newsletter. This is our most exciting month on our Events Calendar, as we prepare to welcome nearly 600 golfers across our two signature events – the Centara World Masters and Avani Pattaya 2 Ball! These events standout as the premier Golf Tournaments for amateurs in Asia, and are major events on the Thailand sports and tourism calendar. If you are not coming this year, please reach out about joining us in 2024.
A reminder that we still have other events scheduled in 2023, with the DoubleTree Phuket Golf Invitational in July. We then have three tournaments in September with the Pattaya Men's, Vietnam World Masters and Danang 4 Ball Golf Championship. Follow our updates by bookmarking this page for our ongoing Asian golf tournament calendar. Each golf tournament allows amateur golfers to participate in professionally organized golf events that challenge one's golf skills in a fun setting and provide excellent networking and new friendship-building opportunities with golfers from all over the world.
Recently, we were pleasantly surprised to see a post by Youtuber Golf with Shan, who reviewed her recent Golfasian experience on her channel, view here. A wonderfully honest recap of her experience, highlighting what an amazing place Thailand is for golf and why all golfers should play here at least once in their life. We also appreciated the plug for the Golfasian team and service. Thank you, Shan!
Our Destination of the Month in this edition is Phuket! I can certainly vouch for Phuket, as it’s been a second home for me over the past few years. The beaches are beautiful, there are plenty of restaurant options, and opportunities to enjoy all aspects of Thai culture. Most importantly, there are some great golf courses, with Blue Canyon being one of my favourites, and world-class resorts, such as the DoubleTree by Hilton Phuket Banthai Resort. See below for more reasons why you should plan your next golf trip in Phuket 😊
On a different note, while we are most well-known for delivering top notch golf leisure travel experiences, we are seeing a trend for more “Corporate Golf” packages, with companies offering the chance to learn and play golf as part of their team building and incentive programs for employees. Whether its for employees to use golf as a business networking tool or just a fun reward, more and more companies are seeing the benefit of having ‘golfers’ in their teams. Please contact us if you would like to know more about our “Corporate Golf” packages: Email us
Don't forget, the Golfasian team is once again receiving recognition with multiple nominations for the 10th World Golf Awards. We are very proud to announce nominations in the following categories:
Finally, I mentioned in our last edition, we are moving into low season for golf in Asia and now is the perfect time to get great deals on our packages. Our specialty is complete full-service itineraries created for your specific travel preferences, expectations, group size, and budgetary requirements. Please get in touch with us anytime for a competitive quote.
