Take Your Family to Golf Recreation

Golf is a game that not only challenges physical skills but also the ability to stay calm and focused. Unfortunately, the golf game trend has declined over the last two decades.

Marketing Director of Green Golf Pte Ltd, Simon Wood, said that the declining trend of golf is due to the fact that to play the game, people must first be registered as a member of the golf club. Not to mention, the rental price offered is very expensive, making it difficult to book a field. So that makes people reluctant to play golf. Plus, the impression that says golf is only for them to do business lobbying.

“It also makes the younger generation unable to play golf. On the other hand, a number of golf club owners admit that their golf course is deserted,” said Wood in Jakarta, Thursday (23/2).

In fact, continued Wood, playing golf can also be a place of recreation with family. So, it is very suitable when inviting children to also play golf. Because of the beautiful golf course and beautiful scenery. In addition, togetherness in playing golf together can strengthen family bonds.

“In addition, the game of golf can also teach children life skills, such as honesty, practice concentration, problem solving, respect, and teach elegance. Playing golf is one of the outdoor recreational activities that requires mental toughness and perseverance,” he added.

To encourage people to play golf, Wood said, his party launched Green Golf Indonesia, the first online golf course booking application in Asia that offers more than 15,000 rounds of play every month in three countries, namely Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.

With prices starting from US$ 7, users can make a course reservation at any time, on weekdays or weekends, get direct confirmation, and can share information with other golfers in just one minute.

Meanwhile, Visa Country Manager Harianto Gunawan added that simply providing easy and fast access to ordering golf courses would not be enough without a non-cash payment feature that can simplify transactions.

Visa, he continued, was one of Green Golf’s first partners and through this collaboration, more than 891 million Visa users in Asia Pacific had the opportunity to get exclusive access provided by Green Golf.

“All of this will change the experience of golf lovers because it provides convenience to access golf courses not only in Indonesia, but also in Malaysia and Singapore,” he concluded.
