Expert Panel - Vietnam's Best Golf Course 2015

from Vietnam Golf Magazine
June 2015

Ahead of the poll to find Vietnam's Best Golf Course 2014-2015, Vietnam Golf Magazine speaks to jury members on their roles and the significance of the event.
Vietnam Golf Magazine
June 2015

In your opinion, why were you invited to be a panel/jury member? Have you ever been in the same position before?  What's the experience you bring to this important role?

I have been a contributor to Vietnam Golf Magazine for several years and feel that may have had an impact on my invitation to be a part of the panel.  Though I have not been in this exact role before, I have been fortunate to have played golf in about 20 countries around the world. Often the golf has been with directors of a national golf association or manager of a resort.  

The mix of golf I’ve played has ranged from lower end courses up to the high-end five star resort course. Though familiar with many courses, I’ve entered each new course without prejudgement.  It has given me the ability to see each course with fresh eyes and a clear mind.

The variety of courses I’ve played, as well as the mix of course types should provide the experience to be a valuable member of the VGM panel.

How do you rate the important and meaning of the Voting for VN's Best golf course campaign?

This is a role I value very highly.  VGM’s annual review and rating project heightens the interest of golf in Vietnam for both domestic and international golfers.  When golfers are contemplating a golf trip to Vietnam, or even to SE Asia, one of the top resources they will use is the annual course review by VGM.  I feel the search for, and review of Vietnam’s best golf course is one of the most highly watched sports projects in the country. 

Aside from the benefit to the traveling golfer, this is also a valuable campaign for the courses that finish at, or near the top.

How many golf course you have played in the world and in Vietnam?

I have played three courses in Vietnam.   Across the world, I would estimate that the figure is a bit over 200 courses in twenty countries.  Countries that I’ve played golf in the most would be first the USA (over 100), second would be Kenya, third China, fourth Indonesia, fifth Vietnam. 

What do you think about the future of Vietnam golf industry?

I am very up-beat on golf in Vietnam.   It is personally one of my favorite places to visit and tour.  As for golf specifically, I like the controlled pace at which golf was developed.   I’ve seen too many countries hurt by over-development, an issue Vietnam is able to manage.

I also like the location of the golf courses near the East Sea, others in the more mountainous regions. There is a good variety of golf in Vietnam.
