There will be a series of "Invitational Events" throughout the year.

This year we have done Danang, Hua Hin, Pattaya and The Philippines. These are no frill events, no dinners, no shirts, caps, cocktail parties, just golfing some great courses with some like minded people.

These events arent posted on Social Media or sent out to our general data base, its for people that have traveled with us before.

If your interested in our events, email me [email protected] and we will add you to our list of invitees.

Our second event for 2025 will be in Pattaya, Thailand. With over 40 golf courses within 1 hours drive of the centre of town, Pattaya is the golf mecca of Thailand.

Throw in some great weather, sensational restaurants & nightlife, ITS A WEEK NOT TO BE MISSED !!

We have started our 2025 events with Hua Hin starting 2 March

Hua Hin has always been a popular golf destination since the first golf course was built in 1924. Since then, the town has grown into 11 golf courses in the surrounding area.

We will play the top 4 courses during the week and have selected a variety of accommodation types to suit all budgets, all centrally located in town, near markets and restaurants.

never gets boring here

Hainan Golf Week July 24-30.
Our local staff in Haikou has found us a better deal for the week. We will now be staying 5 minutes from the golf courses and will be near markets, restaurants, shopping centres and bar areas, giving us a greater range of activities after golf, rather than be at the resort.

The other great news is that it reduces the price !!

Contact us on [email protected] for the updated info and pricing.

its been great seeing you again my friend Danang, looking forward to coming back to see you again in August

18/04/2024

a must visit while in Danang!!

17/04/2024

Maybe twice a year I get to play a new golf course (for me) in Asia. Well today I played the Nicklaus course at BRG Danang. I have played the Nicklaus courses in Hanoi and in Pattaya before, but this one is a cracking course !! Plenty of water and bunkers to act as a magnet for your ball, but if you listen to your caddy's advise you can plot your way around. Greens are big with plenty of tiers, so 60-70 feet putts are there if you dont club correctly !!

We will be playing this course on our next trip to Danang in August
Full details on trip here

16/04/2024

short video with John Paris about the upcoming round at Hoiana Shores

16/04/2024

Our last golfing day in Danang and we played Hoiana Shores. this is my favourite course here and is a must play while you are in Danang.

Pattaya Golf Week day 4 Siam Rolling Hills
Last day of the event and the we played the best course til last. Rolling Hills wasnt the Rolling Hills that i remember, the greens were patchy and quite slow, not sure if the green keeper has gone on holidays early, but certainly someone isnt paying attention.

Mark Cullen has 37 points and takes top spot, Graham Smith with 32 points comes second and Simon Hopwood has 31 for third place
Best 1st Nine was John Butler with 17 and Hemant on the back nine with 17 points as well

NTP were John Paris, Mark Davis & Simon

Pattaya Golf Week Day 3 Siam Plantation.
Its no secret that I am a big fanboy of Siam Plantation, so much so I bought a house within 5 minutes drive of the golf course. The course was in splendid condition today, lush fairways and smooth putting surfaces. Simon Hopwood has 37 points and wins by 2 from playing partner Bob Spicer and Mark Cullen with 34 points takes 3rd place.
Best front nine was Harvey Millington with 19 and best back 9 was Cliff Almond with 16 points

NTP went to Richard, Simon & Mark Cullen

After 3 rounds Simon Hopwood leads with 102 points, Harvey Millington 98 and Bob Spicer 93 points, should be an interesting tussle on the back 9 at Siam Rolling Hills tomorrow

26/03/2024

Pattaya Golf Week Day 2 at Chee Chan
Chee Chan is one of the newest golf courses in Pattaya and is in excellent condition at the moment. With the new GPS and live scoring facilty in each course, its easy to see what your playing buddies are doing.

Everyone should have been looking at John Paris card as he has 37 points to take top money. Simon Hopwood had 33 points for second place and Bob Spicer with 32 points round out the top 3 places
Mark Cullen and Dan Fitzpatrick win the best 9 hole scores
NTP go to John Paris, Mark Davis, Mike Mertz and Roger Spicer

After 2 rounds Simon Hopwood and John Paris are leading with 66 points with Harvey Millington on 64 and Cliff Almond on 63

Wednesday is the rest day and then back to Siam Plantation on Thursday.

25/03/2024

Round 1 at Pattaya Golf week at Laem Chabang. With the recent rain, the golf course is in excellent condition and the players battled the A- C combination (my favourite!)

While there was light rain for 3 holes during the round, players finished there game under sunny skys.

Perennial winner Cliff Almond has 34 points and takes top money. Harvey Millington stake second and third was Simon Hopwood.

Best 1st nine was John Paris with 18 points and best back nine was Mark Cullen with 16 points

NTP went to Simon, Harvey and Mike
