Well, it seems that the courses in Da Nang had the exact same thought
and have actually created the new "Golf Coast Viet Nam"
destination-marketing group, which will seek to attract golf tourists
from regional Asian markets and further afield, especially Australia,
New Zealand and western Europe.

It seems with every week, Tiger is upping the ante on his propaganda
campaign. My own personal feeling has long been that Tiger caught the
entire PGA Tour flatfooted on his arrival and then simply capitalized on
it. Once you get people to believe you can beat them, half the battle
is over.

For me, Tet has always been a love – hate relationship, but don't get
me wrong. It has nothing to do with the holiday itself, but rather one
particular food item which ambushed me 20 years ago and still gives me
nightmares…

Last week, I played in the Tournament of Flowers at Dalat Palace GC and
it was my first trip to see the old girl in many years. The practice
round on Friday was enjoyable with almost clear skies, which means, take
off the sweater. When clouds came over, it was sweater on.

Playing golf in Da Lat is different than anywhere
else in Southeast Asia because of the terrific year-round weather, but
more importantly, because the clubs can use "bent grass" on the greens
which, as true golfers know, is the best putting surface in the world,
bar none.

It's funny how, despite having very few "Christians"
in Vietnam (yes, they are still a minority compared to Buddhists, etc),
the entire country seems to celebrate the holiday.

The Viet Nam Match Play Championship is set to kick off at the
Montgomerie Links golf course in Quang Nam Province on December 22.

Well, the world is touting the return of Tiger Woods
after his win at the Chevron tournament. Yes, the golf writers of the
world are popping the champagne corks and celebrating the thought that
their life will be easy again. All they have to do is mention the word
“Tiger” in their stories and the world will read it. Life is good again.

One local golfer casually mentioned that she sprays her entire body with SPF100 sunscreen before getting dressed for every round of golf. While amusing, I must be fair and agree she has the most blemish-free face I have ever seen. Her face is magazine cover quality.
