straight down the middle annual golf festival tees off hua hin, THAILAND It’s that time of year in Hua Hin when part time (or hard up) golfers grab their clubs with glee, while the regular and semi-pro players (and the course maintenance staff) weep at the slow play and course damage - yes, the Hua Hin Golf Festival is here once more! Organised by the Tourism Authority of Thailand, in co-operation with several other interested parties, it allows golfers the opportunity to play golf at any of the eight selected golf courses, throughout August and September, for only Bt800. The eight courses involved are Banyan (032 616200), Imperial Lake View (032 456233 – 40), Springfield Village (032 709222) August only, Majestic Creek (032 619168 – 70, 081 942 3619), Sawang (032 562555 – 7), Palm Hills (032 442460 – 1, 032 520801 – 9), Kaeng Krachan (032 422145) and Royal Hua Hin (032 51 2475, 032 531070). There are also invitations to compete in organised tournaments every Sunday for just Bt1,200 (includes caddy fee and dinner), with prizes for holes-in-one at designated holes on the last day of the festival, longest drive contests and an opportunity to shop for specially-discounted golf products with 10 to 30% reduction on Pro Shop prices at all courses. Hua Hin has become a mecca for golf lovers, with over a dozen high quality courses either in the area or within easy reach, and at least three golf societies in operation (see page 23 for those we currently feature results from; if you belong to a society not featured please get in touch with us on info@awolonline.net to tell us about it). The annual golf festival is a welcome opportunity for visitors and residents alike to try out the range of courses available at affordable prices.
