PGA Newsletter – July

With the 150th Open coming to a tense climax last week, there is nothing better that watching golf at is very best to get our very own golfing juices flowing. Every time I watch a major or especially the Ryder Cup; it makes me want to go grab my golf bag and hit the fairways myself. To either try and emulate my hero or to try and pull off that audacious flop shot over a green side bunker. Whatever gets you going why not look beyond our European summer and book your place in the South-East Asian sun with us and enjoy some of the most picturesque golf courses in all of the world.

Taman Dayu – South-East Asia’s highest golf course

One of Indonesia’s most spectacular courses designed by Jack Nicklaus. He has described his creation as a course that fits naturally into the environment, providing a good golfing test and spectacular scenery and panoramic views.

Incorporate a round it to this fabulously adventurous tour which includes trekking to mount Bromo and Ijen (Blue Fire) before heading to relax in Northern Bali’s black volcanic beaches and exploring the fascinating town of Ubud.

What is your favourite thing about playing golf in Asia?

My choice would have to be the luxury of having your very own personal caddy. It’s not only nice for someone to hand you the correct club, clean your balls and help read your puts on the green with their local course knowledge. It is also nice to have someone else to moan to on the way round when things don’t go your way.
