Hua Hin, Thailand, November 17, 2020 / TRAVELINDEX / The pioneering Banyan Hua Hin residential complex, which promotes a healthy and active lifestyle, has launched the “Banyan Privilege Club Golf Classic” at its award-winning golf course. The event will feature a golf tournament, an open house with wellness offerings from partner Chiva-Som, a golf lesson with renowned PGA professional John Wither, and numerous social events and entertainment activities.

The one-day event also offers a golf clinic with PGA pro John Wither, spa treatments from the world's leading wellness brand Chiva-Som, and an exquisite evening with relaxed barbecue and entertainment.

On Sunday, November 29, 2020, the first "Banyan Privilege Club Open Day and Golf Classic" will take place, offering golfers and non-golfers alike the opportunity to meet old friends and make new acquaintances. The event will be held against the breathtaking backdrop of the Banyan Golf Club, an award-winning course nestled between mountains and sea on Thailand's Gulf Coast. Designed by Thailand's leading golf course architect, Pirapon Namatra, it is one of the "Rolex World's Top 1000 Golf Courses" and was once again recognized this year as the "Best Golfing Experience in the Asia-Pacific Region."

For golfers, the eventful day begins at 10 a.m. with the tee-off at the Golf Classic. This mixed men's and women's tournament is played over 18 holes in the Stableford format, with three categories for different handicaps: Handicap 0 to 9, 10 to 18, and 19 to 28+. Prizes are awarded in each competition, and there are also separate awards for the shot that lands closest to the pin and the longest drive.

Banyan Golf Club is a spectacular par-72 course with gently undulating fairways and perfectly manicured greens. Non-golfers and beginners are also warmly invited to play for free. John Wither, a PGA professional and winner of the Asian Golf Award for "Best Professional Golf Instructor in the Asia-Pacific Region," will lead the open day followed by a golf clinic. Introductory lessons, a mini-putting competition, and the opportunity to play three holes on the main course will be offered. This event is designed for children, teenagers, and adults alike and provides the ideal opportunity to swing a club for the first time or improve your skills – you might even discover a new passion or hobby. Two sessions are offered: one in the morning (9-10 am) and one in the afternoon (4-5 pm).

The professional therapists of Chiva-Som, the international health resort in Hua Hin, are also available to prepare the players with stretching exercises or to relieve any muscle tension with a massage.

After the sporting competitions conclude, guests can look forward to an evening of culinary delights and entertainment. A barbecue dinner will be held under the open sky at the Banyan Golf Club, featuring delicious meats and seafood, salads, side dishes, and sauces, as well as a wide selection of refreshing drinks. A live band will provide the perfect atmosphere until late into the night, offering an opportunity to mingle, make new acquaintances, and reflect on a successful day.
