“Playing golf in Asia is a very enjoyable experience. It is as if golf has been part of the culture for a long time, which in essence it hasn’t. Everything though is set up wonderfully. The standard of maintenance of the golf courses is exemplary. Bring this together with the culture, so different to ours, the cuisine, the spice, the different tastes and you are left with a head full of experiences and memories.”
