Bangkok, September 18, 2013 – The first of the new season’s Golfasian Amateur Week tournaments in South East Asia kicks off in Thailand next month.
Seven amateur events will be held in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam between October and August 2014, with the first in Pattaya, two hours’ drive from Bangkok, to be held from October 19-26.
The Golfasian amateur series is Asia’s first and only amateur golf tournament series that provides men and women of all ages with any handicap the opportunity to compete on a level field.
“Our goal is to provide the highest standard of professionalism, offering amateur golfers the opportunity to play Asia’s finest golf courses and experience the excitement, camaraderie and friendly competition of tournament golf,” explains Golfasian principal, Mark Siegel.
Participants play in four-round tournaments under the stableford scoring system. The winner of each tournament is the player with the highest total. There are also prizes for each day’s winner and runner-up, as well as nearest the pin on par-3 holes and the best front and back nine scores.
Handicaps are adjusted each day. Players can choose their playing partners on the first day. There is a random draw of players on the second and third days and on the last day the top eight players are drawn together, while others choose their playing partners.
Male and female players in the amateur week events come from all around the world, are aged from 25 to 80 and have handicaps from scratch to 45. The schedule for the 2013/14 Golfasian Amateur weeks is:
Pattaya, Thailand Oct 19-26; Chiangmai, Thailand Oct 26-Nov 2; Hua Hin, Thailand Mar 1-8; Pattaya, Thailand Mar 8-15; Phuket, Thailand June 8-14; Siem Reap, Cambodia July 27-Aug 4; Danang, Vietnam Aug 4-10.
Packages for each tournament include accommodation (various grades available), two group dinners, four rounds of golf with caddie fees included, golf carts at each course, welcome pack with shirt, cap and towel and all taxes. An English-speaking guide accompanies each group.

- This was our second trip organised by GolfAsian and hopefully not the last. Our contact, Jim, has been very helpful and patient with various changes in our plans. All 8 of us were very happy with the golf courses and hotel accommodation. The pickups were flawless and the drivers always very competent. Highly reccomend this company.
Sue Armstrong - First golfing trip to Thailand, and Golfasian were amazing! From the initial emails queries right through to meeting me for a round of golf in Bangkok, Golfasian were invested in making my trip memorable and they completely excelled my expectations. The team took the time to fully understand my interests and structured a tour across Thailand that was incredible. The drivers, the caddies, tte ournament staff, and the support staff all do an awesome job to make things as seamless as possible for you. They really know their stuff, they know the courses, the caddies, and the accomodation which ensures you gain the eperience you are truly looking for. Thanks to AJ, Richard, Brian and the extended team in Chiang Mai (two ball tournament) for a magical Thai golfing experience, I'm absolutely hooked and I'm already preparing my next adventure with Golfasian after being home for two days! If you are looking for the ultimate golfing experience in Thailand (or anywhere in SE Asia for that matter), be sure to book it through Golfasian.
Cam Daniell - Played 5 courses in Bali over our 10 day stay. Golf and transfers all organised by Golfasian and had no problems. Very well organised. Would highly recommend.
Russell Mathews - After numerous tournaments with Golfasian, we are very satisfied with their service, efficiency & wonderful staff..We are still planning more in the future..even now with these unknown health conditions, as we know the company will not put any of their clients/friends in a dangerous situation. See you again soon hopefully...stay safe!
