Hi Francis,
Thank you kindly for your assistance. I found everything went according to clock work.

Joyce and the Driver are very nice people and very patient with extremely good manners.

The golf course I thought, was very good and I must admit - I won the day! Thank you once again and I hope I can use your company again in the future. Regards

Hi Frank,
I must say the trip to Hanoi was well organized despite the little hitch on our side trip to Halong Bay on rainy days. The small hotel you got us was superb. Thank you so much.

Hello Francis,
The tour went well. We enjoyed the golf. Only one thing, the credit card payment procedure tends to be a bit confusing. Hope you can improve on it.

Take a Walk-through of the Process of Procuring Your Golf Package

"...and, we'll do a 'Mickelson' with a 64° to show how the price dropping!
Tell us you have a bigger group!"

...and Phil actually did it again at the Masters 2012 at the perilous Par 5 15!

Package or Itemized Pricing? A package, which includes all of your requirement (your golf green booking, hotel reservation, all local transportations, optional local tours etc.) allows us to give you the best combination of the facilities and therefore the best package price possible. Some might like to be quoted on item-to-item basis so they reserve the liberty to choose whichever item they like better. We can accommodate that, no problems at all.

But our sincere advice is that such 'supermarket-type' of selective purchase will quite inevitably result in a much higher package price on the overall. We cordially request that our expertise in tailor-making a complete golf package be put into good use so that you will always enjoy the best price possible.

Just tell us all that you require for a golf trip, we'll offer what's best for you!

Swing of The Sumatran Tigers

What did 4 men from the deep of Sumatra (Where? Sumatra of Indonesia, where long ago the last of the Sumatran Tigers was spotted alive!) do when their wives and kids went back to the Americas for their R & R?

Just things boys do!

Well, they actually golfed from Sumatra to Singapore and Batam, then on to Bangkok and Pattaya, and back to more in Singapore and Batam before going back deep in Sumatra!

And, EC summed it up: "Best golf ever! We need to start working on the next golf trip!"

From Manila with Love

J A of Singapore made good use of the no-frills airline currently flying to Manila and came on with us for a 3day 2night golf tour with a friend of his. They had reciprocal membership with some of the clubs there and we took care of their hotel accommodation and roundtrip transfers to the golf courses. We got them the type of hotel they wanted but more specifically, it was at the center of Manila's entertainment area, just where they had eagerly wanted to be.

When contacted after the trip, J A was quite mum about the details of their activities there except that everything went well; we did not even ask about how Manila was somehow painted red while they were there either!

Chiangmai Golf Package: Never Perfect but Always Good
"G'day mate, Thanks for your good work.
I concur with michael re inthanon but it was not too bad.
Caddy English wasn't flash not that I can blame them for that.
And little things like condition of paths edgings and areas behind tees etc. Highlands and royal, in regard to those finishing touches were just superb.
Driver Mit and his new van were 100% fantastic!
Truly, great trip - no worries

Kuala Lumpur Golf Holiday
"...Unfortunately Francis, you have set yourself a very high benchmark from which you will be judged. We want to go to a combined Langkawi, Penang and KL golf tour during the forthcoming Easter Holiday. I will revert...with detail!

Thanks again for a wonderful time and we look forward to our next visit knowing that we are in good hands!"

Mission Hills Golf Tour
Neng D, the very efficient and affable secretary handled the Mission Hills golf tour for her boss. We enjoyed working with her; if only she was a bit less impatient and had not hounded us (Yes, she did! Oh, b....!) so much for info so early while we were still working at it, to a point we suspect one party at least must be terribly annoyed by the other, if not mutually so by each other, mindful of the fact that she's as much part of our Dear Valued Customers! But this is what she said after:

"I'm happy to inform you that Pak E and all the members were happy and satisfied with your arrangement. We appreciate all your efforts organizing such a great golf trip for us and giving the best of service.
- Neng D, Jakarta, December 2010"

Phew...ma'af ya, neng.

Malacca Golf Tour
Yes, we really did enjoy the Malacca golf trip that you planned for us! The coach dropped us off right next to our hotel, and we were greeted by BL, the Guest Relation Manager, who told us that you had just called him to ensure that our welcome was organised. That demonstrates your great attention to detail, Francis. The hotel was just as we had hoped and all the staff were fantastic.
- Wendy & Al, London October 2010

Life: A Bed of Roses?
In September 2010, a Nepomuceno of Bulacan did a no-show on us two days before arrival for reasons we were not even aware of. The 30% deposit he sent us was forfeited; but it wasn't even enough to cover the penalty imposed by facility suppliers on us for their hotel rooms that were cancelled so late into arrival. We requested for the shortfall to be made good but to no avail. If you think, we thrive on a very thin margin only from the thousands that clients pay for their packages, what else could we resort to except in hoping for a samaritan solicitor client/visitor to our website to offer us a service for recovery?

In life, you only need one in the lowly league to tell you otherwise - shame, shame, shame, what golfer!

Brag We Do!
The plane for departure flight was still on the tarmac of Bali Airport and TK sms "Dear Francis, we enjoyed a lot, thanks for the good organization. Regards TK". One week later, AG wrote: "I believe that returning customer is the best evidence of a good service rendered by a company and since we were very pleased with your organization of our golf trip to Bali, we would like to make use of your service again." Period.

TK and AG are members of a group of Euros happily married to Southeast Asia for their expertise by their respective companies. Their next destination would be Bangkok and we were more than happy to arrange the golf package for them.

We love to brag, don't we? YES, WE DO! but only remaining ever so thankful to our Valued Customers for being so appreciative of our service; it humbles us.

And, for their golf trip to the Lost Island of Koh Samui:

"Francis, Thanks for the flawless organization. The logistics were perfectly organized, drivers were friendly, on time, helpful etc. Compliments to you and your staff! ......=> Bottomline: We all enjoyed the trip tremendously!"
- MW Singapore June 2010

And, from the ever-winning member of the group:

"Hi Francis,
On behalf of all my colleagues thank you very much for making our golf event such a pleasant and memorable one! As in the past everything turned out impeccable…. pick-up, daily transport, TOFF times as well as accommodation. GOLFnTours seems to be a reliable partner even for non-vanilla countries like Vietnam where walk-in visitors are normally not welcomed on weekends! Thanks for your help and we will be back!
Regards, PB June 2011

Kunming Golf
HjN is a professional in the building trade, a religious man, an equity holder of a famous golf club and not least, an avid golfer himself [and an 'OP' too!]. He is a lucky man as well if you think his wife and son are also regular golfers. He liked the Kuming golf package we offered and ended up pulling his friend and family to come along making it a two-family group.

While they enjoyed the trip on the overall, there were certain things that he thought could have been better. We were grateful to him for his long and constructive email he took time to write us after the trip. We'll just show the summary he'd kindly listed out for us in his email:

"...about golf in Kunming, I would rate it 10/10. Ground handling was probably 6/10, mostly because of transport. Spring City as a resort, I would rate it 6/10. Grand Park Hotel, 8/10. Kunming itself, 5/10. Halal food in Kunming, 9/10."

During their tour, as a small gesture, we sent them a fruit basket of mainly huge mangoes for those items not scoring close to "10". After reading his email, we've made up our mind if HjN comes on our tour again like he said he would for Chiangmai, we'd definitely include a big Durian in the fruit basket (Note: Durian is 'King of All Fruits' in S.E. Asia!). HjN, thanks for joining our tour and helping us improve too.

Golfing in Manila
AG is a professional; his job takes him to all over the world. Currently he is based in his company's outlet in Singapore. Recently he came on our tour to Manila with seven others and, he had some generous words for us:

Hi Francis, Thanks for the arrangements and changes. Some feedback: The S Golf Club is a fantastic course. It's a bit far but well worth the effort...Great choice !! The M Golf Club...is interesting and different and the setting gives it a unique charm...but the quality of maintenance kills all its fine attributes. The transport and the tour assistant were excellent...Overall we had a really enjoyable time and thanks to you and all involved for making it happen.

You made our day AG; couldn't be more gratified.

Zhuhai: No Receipt? No Payment!
When SS and friends wanted to pay on arrival in Zhuhai the cash balance of their package price for his golf holiday there last month, our appointed representative could not produce the official receipt because he left it in the office. SS, acting according to our earlier instruction to pay only if accompanied by an official receipt, refused to hand over the cash and stuck to his '500cc Ball Launcher' [Note maximum volumn allowed by USGA!] for two days until the receipt was finally presented to him. The representative was of course severely reprimanded for poor attentiveness in his duty while the 6 rounds of golf over 3 days for our guests got going as planned. We thanked SS for helping us maintain a high standard of quality control of our golf tour.

SS is a man in-charge of massive deliveries on a global basis for his company. For all the resources and the many people from all over the world he has to deal with on a daily basis, he appears a man of few words...read what he says.

Intensive Golfing Package in a National Park in Thailand
B Yeoh and friends of Penang form a private club of sort of their own within the golf club to which they all belong as members. Unfortunately the golf club has recently gone bust apparently for no good reasons and legal proceedings are underway for them to be compensated for the purchase price of their membership, and that means a long, long wait if not forever depending on the outcome of the proceedings, before they could hope to be back at their regular playground. Poor boys. Since then they have been out on other venues for their regular private golf outings.

They contacted us for golf packages in China but finally settled for something more refreshing like golfing in a national park. We gladly obliged and a golf trip was organized for the Khao Yai National Park, a stone's throw away from Bangkok, Thailand. For a 4-day 3-night's stay, we managed to pack in five rounds in all of 18-hole golf play (One in Bangkok though, just before boarding!), all at different golf courses, just to make the boys happy. Credit must also go to B's good flight arrangements. Did they enjoy it? Hear what B says on behalf.

Mixing Business with Pleasure in Shanghai and Beijing. Which is which?
S. C. of Hawaii was on a business trip with some friends to Shanghai and Beijing, China and wondered whether we could arrange a couple of rounds of golf for them to 'de-stress'. No probs Sir, as we have a network of local associates in all the major cities in China. A golf package and itinerary was quickly drawn up to fit seamlessly into their business schedules spanning the two cities.

Being from the USA, S. C.'s 'naturally' more accustomed to using PayPal for online payments. No questions asked, the payment was quickly processed as promised and in time too, considering the little time left before their departure for China. They enjoyed the golf (and presumably made good gains on business as well) and this is S. C.'s comment on the golf trip.

Chiang Mai Intensive Golf Package
Doc T, a medical specialist and CEO of a large medical center rang urgently from his shangri-la(ish) enclave across the vast sea, not for the operating table together with us, of course. They wanted a short but golf-intensive holiday in China but the horrible earthquake of May 2008 took place. We recommended Chiang Mai, Thailand and the group duly arrived despite difficulty in securing connecting flights. The group comprised mostly seasoned golfers who did two rounds per day at different courses for two days. Together with the other round of 18-hole play immediately on arrival, they clocked up five rounds each over three days. No mean feat for these 'mature' golfers, the youngest was 45 year-old and the oldest 58.

While the non-golfers enjoyed their fair share of shopping and sight-seeing; the golfers made full use of their time in the evening to unwind and relax their tired muscles by having massages by professional masseus. For those not too familiar, amongst many other things, professional full-body massage and foot reflexology-massage are the latest health craze the city has to offer at the moment, and at a reasonable rate too. No? Ask the Doc!

Golfing in between Branch Visits to Malaysia
S Viswanath of Mumbai, India travels regularly with his delegates to Malaysia to visit their branch office. We were happy to arrange a 'golf-only' package for them in Kuala Lumpur. But S wasn't too familiar with PayPal and got jittery over whether to sign up as a member (and therefore having to provide personal details) before making the payment to us. A direct deposit into our bank account in Malaysia for their payment had to be made and, by that we regard as a process too time-consuming and inefficient.

Nonetheless, all went well be it, S and friends enjoyed the golf we arranged for them but not without making a constructive remark on the payment method. Well, all we could say is: PayPal is efficient and safe if not too zealous in trying to push membership at the expense of revenue coming from us. We hope they read this!
