Golf anyone?

Hi,
I was just wondering if I should bring my clubs.  I am coming from Denver and haven't seen that there are courses easily accessible to HCMC.
Thanks!
Neil

There is a course in district 7.

I go to the driving range sometimes but haven't played a full round in years.

Unless you take it extremely seriously, I wouldn't bother bringing my own clubs.

You can just rent a set for the day at the golf course.

Thank you!

You can play alone on weekdays however you should have at least 3 players on weekends. Here's not allow to join to other group.

Hey Andrew_212, this name sounds familiar :)

Would you have the patience to take a beginner out for a round of golf?

Hi Shen, how are you doing ?
It depends, if you are completely new to golf then i would prefer take you to the driving range or a 9 holes at D7 to practice for a few months before go on the 18 holes course. just to avoid you passing out on the course because of the heat and avoid disappointment :-P lol, its normally take 4:30- 5 hours walk under the hot sun for a round of golf in VN
but if you are already familiar with swinging the golf club n then why not :-)

I've started golf at the driving range a couple months back, have been taking lessons and eager to get on the course to make a fool out of myself. Problem is, I don't know anyone else who plays golf!

Definitely 9 holes first.

Or....don't mind going to the range either.

There are quite a few courses near HCMC and a new one has just opened at the airport. Myself and my friends play at four courses fairly near HCMC and they are good and are a reasonable price. Give me a call on *** or email me at ***

Hi guys,
The golf course at the airport will be opened around Dec this year, u have to be invited to play there at the moment.

Airport golf must be a very exclusive club since only invited guests are allowed and not to the general public ?
just my opinion ..ha ha..
you sure it will be opened in this coming december 2 months away ?
thanks
