Find an Asian PGA Tour Event to Attend

1. Keep in mind that the Asian Tour also holds events in the United States as part of its regular schedule. At least a few tournaments featuring Asian pro golfers are typically played at various U.S. golf courses, though particular schedules and venues vary from season to season.
2. Choose an event to attend by selecting a tournament from the current season's official schedule. You can check this with the Singapore headquarters at ([phone]. Allow for the time change between Singapore and the location from which you are calling.
3. Visit the official website of your tour of choice. Here you will find information on how to purchase tickets to the event. Carefully convert all foreign currencies to U.S. dollars before completing your transaction to ensure you are prepared for the true cost of the tickets.
4. Hunt down alternate sources for tickets by performing an online search for seats to the tour event you want to attend. If you get lucky, you might come across someone in cyberspace selling tickets they can't use at a discount.

5. Contact the consulate or embassy of the country you want to visit, if you require a travel visa to enter the nation.
6. Purchase only refundable airline tickets and make reservations only at hotels that allow you to cancel. Circumstances can be unpredictable when you are required to travel vast distances and you'll want to have insurance in place in case your plans change at the last minute.
7. Reserve a hotel as close to the golf course as you can get. You might want to inquire with tournament staff to find some recommendations for nearby accommodations, especially if you will need English-language concierge services.
8. Allow yourself ample time before the tournament begins to adjust to the time change. You'll want to be awake to enjoy your Asian PGA Tour event!
