Fit for a king
Brand new Royale Jakarta is the latest rave in Asia but Spring City in Kunming remains a scenic favourite, yet one thing they have in common is that they are among the best places to play in Asia.
Nothing left to chance
From the weather to the course conditions, and the challenge, Kunming’s Spring City layout makes for an ideal golf destination, perhaps the best there is in Asia.
A forgettable year for golf
The much-touted Road to Dubai fizzled out as the economic crisis tightened its grip, and that really sums up the season.
Tiger the richest of them all
TIGER Woods has become the first athlete to surpass US$1bil in career earnings and thats according to the Forbes magazine which estimates that golf’s top-ranked player crested the plateau when he earned US$10mil for winning the FedEx Cup last month.
Affordable or not?
Many Malaysians still view golf as a game for the rich, but in actual fact, it is really quite affordable.
Big boost for Colantotte
MST Golf recently hosted its first ever Colantotte product launch and training programme in Malaysia and proved a big success. Some 60 media representatives, dealers and MST staff attended the event at Glenmarie Golf & Country Club, where three representatives from Japan were in attendance.
A real hard nut to crack
Harding Park is playing host to the President’s Cup this week, but the course has had its fair share of the downside, yet one would never say so by looking at the way things are today.
Something for everyone
For Malaysian golfers seeking a brief adventure, Batam offers the ideal getaway.
Winners must defend
A couple of high-profile Asian players have decided against defending their crowns and that in two of the biggest events on the Tour.
Chosen quartet
A quartet of four local youngsters are undergoing a programme aimed at grooming them for the future, and with the help from a few clubs.
Record turnout in Johor Bahru
A record turn out of 220 golfers showed up at Palm Resort in Johor Bahru for the Dewar’s Awesomes Foursomes Challenge, and no one was disappointed as the club and organisers used two courses on the same day to accommodate the field.
Lefty is back
By some accounts, the 2009 season was one that never really lived up to its billing. However, for Phil Mickelson, it was anything but a mundane campaign.
