Groetjes uit Langkawi en zoals beloofd hierbij een speciale aanbieding voor golfers. Wat ons betreft ok als je ook andere golfers deze link doorstuurd.
In 2015 bestaat Distant Greens Golfing Holidays alweer 20 jaar en daarom dachten we, laten we, na 7 jaar niet meer te hebben deelgenomen, weer eens proberen om met enkele teams mee te spelen in het World Amateur Inter-team Golf Championship (WAITGC) .
Zoals wellicht bekend, is dit toernooi, voor velen van jullie, de reden geweest om de eerste keer naar Maleisië te reizen en wij hebben deze reizen altijd met plezier georganiseerd.
Dit jaar vindt dit toernooi van 8 t/m/ 11 juni op Langkawi plaats en voor dit toernooi hebben wij voor 4 teams een plaats kunnen bemachtigen en hebben wij weer een reis samengesteld rondom dit toernooi voor een zeer speciale prijs. Het programma, prijs en toernooi reglement vindt je hieronder.
Wij presenteren deze reis als eerste aan een select gezelschap, waaronder natuurlijk de personen die eerder aan dit evenement hebben deelgenomen, om jou zo, als één van de eerste, de kans te geven hiervan nogmaals te genieten.
Wij zouden het geweldig vinden als we met 4 teams weer aan dit evenement zouden kunnen deelnemen en vandaar de vraag: Heb je interesse om ook aan dit toernooi deel te nemen en de reis te maken?
Het mooiste zou natuurlijk zijn als je een team van 4 personen samen kunt stellen, maar natuurlijk kun je jezelf ook als individu aanmelden en plaatsen wij je in één van de teams.
Wij hopen op een positieve reactie en denk erom, er zijn slechts 16 plaatsen beschikbaar.
Veel groeten en jumpa lagi,
Robin, Rob & Ann
