The final stop on our trip to Vietnam was Hoi An, which is next to Danang – the cutoff point between North and South Vietnam. Hoi An is famous for its lantern festival, which happens every night but is even bigger once a month, when we have a full moon. Bruce timed our visit for […]
2026 Quy Nhon
After a couple of days in Nha Trang we continued up the coast to Quy Nhon. We couldn’t come here earlier since they had no availabilty on the golf course but it was nice to see the two different beach locations. Quy Nhon was a bit cleaner and quieter with a more diverse tourist base. […]
2026 Nha Trang
We had a late change to our plans since we couldn’t get on the golf courses in Quy Nhon on the weekend due to a big competition, so we cut across to the Beach for a two night stay in Nha Trang. This was a place we had considered but dropped since it would have […]
2026 Dalat
We left Phan Thiet for a leasurely 150km drive to Dalat, unfortunately the toll road was washed out so we had to take the rural route, meaning the trip took 5 hours, doing an average speed of 40 – 50 kms an hour max. As we drove through the mountains, we had some great views […]
2026 Phan Thiet – Vietnam
We left Saigon and Toa (our driver) took us on a leisurely drive to Phan Thiet, a beach resort town 3 hours North. The town itself was quite large, but Bruce didn’t really see it since he rested on the day off. Our hotel was the Radison and was a few kilometres out of town, […]
2026 Saigon stay
We left Melaka and flew to Vietnam where we met up with Debbie and Neil in Ho Chi Min City to start the South Vietnam Golfing Excursion. Our first game of golf was at Tan Son Nhat Golf course. As you can see, we all wore the team golf shirt, sponsored by Margaret House. This […]
2026 Melaka
In March of this year, we started our golf holiday in Melaka, Malaysia. We arrived at KLIA around 10pm, and then caught a taxi for 2 hours to Melaka. The entry into the city was very beautiful, if you like coloured lighting and bright light decorations. The street that our hotel was on was all […]
Golf in Chiang Mai – November 2025
We are going to play several games in Chiang Mai, with courses we have played before and others that we are trying for the first time. Bruce booked the first game directly but then found the direct prices were higher than going through an agent. We booked the second game with Golfsavers, and their price […]
Stop Overs in Malaysia
Since Malaysian Airlines had such a good offer, we decided to fly them and do a stopover in Malaysia. The flight was ok, though the plane was so small that it didn’t have an entertainment system built into the seat. We connected up to their WiFi and eventually worked out that we could watch movies, […]
Bangpoo Golf and Sporting Club
Last time the Skillen’s and the Darby’s went on a golf tour, we got to the last game and the girls decided to go shopping, which left the boys to go play golf by themselves. We played Bangpoo that time and loved it. This time we were looking forward to seeing if the course was […]
