Golfing Escapades in Vietnam

I had noticed this when googling Nicholas Lau and Vietnam. I knew Nick was good at his golf but ...WOW ... two time champion of the VCCI Cup !

I'll let Nick share it in his own words ...

"Won the tournament in 2006 and defended in 2007. Did not take part in 2008 as the organizing committee did not grant privilege for defending champion . Strange things do happen in Vietnam ! The gentleman with the golden trophy is the former Deputy Prime Minister of Vietnam . The portrait is obvious -the much revered Ho Chi Minh of Vietnam - a national hero and statesman of Vietnam . The portrait is made of pieces of precious gem stones - sapphire , jade , ruby etc found in Vietnam . The donor - with the microphone said is worth about USD5000 ! Some times we have to read between the lines when we are in Vietnam "



Way to go, Nick ! Any of you who need golfing tips, you know who to go to :-)
