What About Vietnam -S2 - 11 - Greg Norman isn't the only one raving about Golf in Vietnam

Vietnam is well known for its magnificent natural beauty, culture, great food and tropical climate. However, it is fast becoming better known to golfers for its unrivaled golfing experiences and locations.Part of that is due to the promotional work of Greg Norman - Vietnam Tourism Ambassador. With Norman’s global presence, vast background in golf, business and experience designing and building some of the top resort golf courses in Vietnam and around the world, he was identified by the Vietnam Ministry as the ideal candidate to help the country capitalize on the influx of international tourists looking to experience first class golf resorts in one of the most unique and visually stunning destinations in the world.Now don't get too excited !We don't have Greg on the show.  Better still, we have a strong, avid player who is accustom to taking groups all over the world including the US Masters, Ireland, and Europe.Chrissy Hordern is my guest today and joins me as we recap a familiarisation tour of Vietnam we did together, in May 2019.The episode will take you on 5 rounds of golf at courses selected for their captivating scenery & depth of challenge for golfers of all abilities.  Our base for the first leg of the journey will be the ancient town of Hoi An and you are in for some insightful golfing tips on these courses, finishing up in Saigon.Chrissy is a Tour Host and Ambassador for Teed Up Golf https://teedupgolftours.com/ in  Australia and a very talented player.
