Largest Integrated Resort To Host Faldo Series

In Press Releases | on June 25, 2013 |
Thua Thien Hue Province, Vietnam, June 2013 The Vietnam Golf Association (VGA) has appointed Laguna
Lng C Golf Club as the new venue for the Faldo Series Vietnam Championship for the next three years. Golfers
and non-golfers alike are set to benefit from a programme of charitable initiatives during the annual event which
tees off on July 27-28, 2013.
The course at Laguna Lng C will provide a memorable experience for the countrys top young golfers, said Sir
Nick Faldo who designed the course with his team at Faldo Design. I applaud the efforts of the resort to give back
to the community through this event, including coaching for local children and fundraising for village schools.
We are excited to continue our excellent relationship with Sir Nick by hosting his Faldo Series, commented Tim
Haddon, General Manager of Laguna Lng C Golf Club which officially opened by Faldo in March 2013.
Laguna Lng C is committed to creating a positive impact in the local community and is currently working to
provide clean drinking water to local primary schools, all money raised will be used for this purpose.
For the past five years, the Faldo Series has been a key part of our mission to grow golf in Vietnam, added Mr
Nguyen Van Hao, Secretary General of the VGA. We look forward to continuing our efforts in partnership with
Sir Nick and the team at Laguna Lng C and once again the Vietnamese winners will benefit from spending time
with a six-time Major winner.
Vietnamese golfers aged 12 to 21 will compete over 36 holes in the sixth Faldo Series Vietnam Championship at
Laguna Lng C Golf Club. With the field divided into age groups two for boys and two for girls the four
winners will qualify to join Faldo for the eighth Asia Grand Final at Mission Hills Golf Club in China next March.
Situated about an hours drive from Danang International Airport, Laguna Lng C Golf Club is located within the
greater Laguna Lng C, a US$ 200 million fully-integrated resort development by Banyan Tree and the first in
Vietnam. The resort is framed by a three-kilometre beach in the Chan May-Lang Co area, renowned for its pristine
coastline, natural scenery and proximity to UNESCO World Heritage sites. The resort features Banyan Tree and
Angsana hotels and spas, villas and residences available for sale, maritime facilities and an activity centre for
children.
Laguna Lng C Golf Club is one of the must-go golf destinations in Vietnams central coast area and is the first
in the country to have Zoysia fairways and Tiff Eagle greens. The course is nestled between mountains and sea on
a sandy strip of dune land that is perfect for golf. Starting from an open paddy field environment beside a large
lake, the layout moves towards the edge of a mountainous forest area before swinging towards the beach at the
ninth hole. This 6,961-yard, par-71 course is the 26
th
course designed by the six-time Major winner and is arguable
his boldest and best creation yet.
Established in 1996, 40 Faldo Series tournaments now take place in 30 countries worldwide with more than 7,000
golfers participating each year. \Past winners include Major Champions Rory McIlroy and Yani Tseng.
In September 2014, Faldo will begin taking students at a full-time residential academy for education and golf
development in America. The first ever Faldo Series Academy in Casa Grande, Arizona is also home to the Faldo
Series USA and marks the next significant step in the programmes history.
The 2013/2014 Faldo Series Asia schedule features a record 19 tournaments in 15 countries, including four in
mainland China, two in India and others in The Philippines, Chinese Taipei, Cambodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong,
Malaysia, Nepal, Singapore, Brunei, Japan, Pakistan, Indonesia and Thailand.
