We know our own game inside and out but how do we choose which courses would be best for us? The problem increases when visiting golfing destinations in Europe where in some cases there can be up to 50 courses to choose from!

With no plans other than roaming the streets and a couple of must-see on our list, we reached Da Nang, only to be completely blown away by its beauty.

Until fairly recently, Myanmar was off limits to wanderlust Westerners.
