An Introduction to Golf Vacations in Thailand

In its most basic form golf as played on our golf vacation deals can be described as such; a game in which a ball is struck with a club from a prepared area, known as the teeing ground, across fairway and rough to a second prepared area, which has a hole in it, known as the putting green. At least that’s the kind of golf package we deal with on our golf vacations. The object of the game is to complete what is known as a hole by playing a ball from the teeing ground into the hole on the putting green in the fewest possible number of strokes. A round of golf consists of playing 18 such holes. Our quality resort golf vacation courses all consist of 18-hole ranges. There are basically two forms during a golf package play, one that is decided by holes won and lost that is match play. The total number of strokes taken to complete the round is known as stroke play.

At Golfasian there are three important principles we encourage our golfers to remember when playing on the featured resort golf vacation: play the course on your golf vacation packages as you find it. Play the Ball as it lies and not where you would like it to lie throughout the golf vacations. And if you can’t do either on the golf vacation package, do what’s fair! Doing what’s fair means knowing and abiding by the Rules of the resort golf vacations. The rules of the golf courses featured on our Thailand golf packages may differ slightly but there are general basic rules and regulations followed by a majority of the resort golf vacation in order to ensure a fair game for all.

Etiquette on Golf Vacation Deals for the Complete Golf Vacation Package

The following tips are not hard and fast rules as such but on golf vacations it shows courtesy and respect to your fellow golfers enjoying their golf package. By etiquette we refer to basic maintenance and care of the golf vacation package courses. Whilst the following points are not rules as such they are an important part of the game and ensure the enjoyment of the players and tourists availing of our discount golf vacation package. It is not encouraged to talk or stand close to a player making a stroke, this is distracting and you can expect the same consideration to be shown to you. Don’t play until the group in front is out of the way, on courses featured on our golf vacation deals this is considered rude. Always play without delay. Leave the putting green as soon as all players in your group have holed out. On our Thailand golf packages it is encouraged to invite faster groups to play through. Smooth footprints in bunkers and replace divots after play. Don’t step on the line of another player’s putt or drop clubs on the putting green. And finally for the enjoyment of all golf vacations replace the flagstick carefully.

Basic Definitions on Golf Vacation Packages

To ensure all the attendees of our golf vacation deals adhere to the set rules and guidelines without confusion, here at Golfasian, we thought it best to supply our golf vacation package customers with the definitions or glossary of what the various terms mean. The Definitions section of the Rules of Golf contains over forty entries. Listed below is a sample of the terms, ones that you need to be familiar with to have maximum enjoyment from our cheap golf vacations.

  • Through the Green – on our golf vacation packages this refers to the whole area of the golf course except the teeing ground and putting green of the hole being played and all hazards.
  • Hazards – any bunker or water hazard.
  • Out of Bounds – throughout our golf vacation deals it is the ground on which play is prohibited i.e. not part of the course. A ball is out of bounds when all of it lies out of bounds.
  • Casual Water – on a resort golf vacation it means any temporary accumulation of water on the course visible before or after the player takes his stance.

    • Niki at GolfAsian Thailand put together our golf itinerary on extremely short notice and every part of the experience was efficient and smooth. From organizing the itinerary, managing payments, being picked up at the hotel by fantastic drivers (Sombat and Rocky in Hua Hin are great!), picked up after our round in a timely manner...all of it was fantastic! I recommend you email or call Golfasian directly because my first encounter with them through their online chat was absolutely awful. But I gave them a second chance and Niki came to our rescue. We couldn't be happier and will definitely use GA again!
