Sky Lake Resort & Golf
Club, Hanoi, 23 February
2016- History was made
on Monday when 28 year
old KLPGA Professional
(Korean Ladies
Professional Golf
Association), Ms. Chung
Ye Na collected the winner’s trophy for the KLPGA Winter
Tour Korea Investment & Securities Championship held at the
award winning Sky Lake Resort & Golf Club. The event played
under the KLPGA tour was Vietnam’s first ladies
professionals’ event to be held in the country and will be
followed by a second event in Dalat later in March next
month.

With over 100,000 golfers
travelling into the United
Arab Emirates each year,
it is little wonder that
Alpha Destination
Management has decided
to add another club to its
bag in launching Alpha
Golf as its newest division. Alpha Golf, a division of Alpha
Destination Management, is based in the heart of the UAE
business world, ideally located to continue to offer all the
fantastic services that have made Alpha Destination
Management the success story it is today. Successfully
placing over 1.4 million room night in 2015 alone, needless to
say, putting together packages in some of the most
sumptuous properties in the Emirates will not be a difficult
task for the Alpha Golf Team.
