Welcome to the September 2022 issue of the Asian Golf Insider, the source for news-breaking information about golf in Asia. Also, unique golf-playing tips for South East Asia's tropical environment, announcements of golf travel promotions, and fantastic upcoming tournament information are all parts of this newsletter.
The summer months in Europe and the Americas are over; it is now back-to-school time for the kids. Trees' leaves will start to change colors, the days will become shorter, and the weather will turn cold soon. Only four months are left in 2022, and now is the time to start making this winter's golf holiday plans.
Australia should be coming out of its winter, so it's time for a long golf season ahead. Maybe now is too soon to commit to next year's trip plans, but while there are still great deals in the market, it can't hurt to check what's available. Also, Thai AirAsia X spreads its wings to Australia with the launch of two routes to Sydney and Melbourne for the very first time.
In Asia, we are amid the green season, with heavy afternoon showers being the norm. However, far from going elsewhere, they're more golfers here now than in all prior months in 2022 combined! Maybe it's because September is tournament month, or there is so much pent-up travel demand from limited opportunities in prior years.
It’s a busy month for tournaments, with the Pattaya Men’s Open this week and the Vietnam World Masters in Danang next week. A big welcome to all players signed up to enjoy these famous tournaments. You can follow the action, leaderboard, entertainment, and images from the spectacular courses hosting these events via the Golfasian Facebook page.
Club golfers from 30+ countries now enjoy our growing tournament schedule. Inspired by golfers, in 2023, we’re adding new destinations, including a Masters (over 35’s) tournament in Japan. Full event details are to be released next month. Check out the Asian golf tournament calendar.
As usual, Golfasian has been busy updating our tours for the high season and re-inspecting the area golf courses and resorts. I will be in Pattaya, Danang, and Japan playing some new courses and meeting our partnered hotels. You can expect continuous improvement and new tours and tournament launches.
