I might be going to Muscat, Oman this fall or winter on business. Then over to Mumbi, India. Has anyone played in either and can provide me with any info?

Recommended Golf Courses in South-East-Asia?
chipper2 replied to eagergolfer's topic in Destinations and Travel
I have made 2 golf trips to Thailand. Meet my partner from the U.K. both times in Bangkok. The last one we played 10 courses in Thailand and 3 in Vietnam. Love the Tai courses and the people, food and beaches. It gets my vote. Plan to do it again. -
How Many Courses Have You Played?
chipper2 replied to gortyl's topic in Golf Courses and Architecture
Update. I now have logo balls from 1108 courses I have played in all 50 states, and 26 countries. The last one was in June when I played in Iceland. Absolutely beautiful. I would like to go back and play other courses. -
Played Brautarholt about 45 minutes north of Reykjavik. Fantastic, beautiful, fun course. I am ready to go back and play more courses. For an 80-year-old man it was a job to walk up the course. I cannot remember walking down much, ha! ha!

In mid-January I am headed to Fort Walton Beach, FL for a month. Any suggestions on reasonably priced courses? -
I enjoy looking at the balls from courses I played and they brings back happy memories. The people I played with and the places I traveled to. Life is really about memories.

I have 11 cases which hold 100 balls each. My wife insists they have glass doors so she does not have to dust them. The balls are in the order I played the course for the first time. Shown are cases #9, 10 & 11. -

Best Places to Stay and Play Golf for 1-3 Months
chipper2 replied to Birdie McBogey's topic in Destinations and Travel
The first thing needed to answer the question is which 3 months of the year. After that where in the world you are interested in going to for 3 months. If Asia is on the list then Thailand is the place. Hotels or rentals are very reasonable several hundred courses to choice from with good rates, great food and lots of things to do other than golf. USA in Summer look at Michigan, Wisconsin or Minnesota. Lots of reasonable priced course and some great golf.
