  The staging of the first-ever international golf tournament in Cambodia in November/December 2007 put the sporting spotlight on a nation that’s never been associated with the great game.
The Johnnie Walker Cambodian Open – the penultimate event on the Asian Tour circuit – marked the beginning of international standard golf tourism in this burgeoning Southeast Asian nation.
And the opening of the Nick Faldo-designed Angkor Golf Resort in Siem Reap in November is a bonus for tourists visiting a quaint yet booming city famed the world over for the wonders of Angkor Wat.
An illustrated feature on golfing in Cambodia can be written on assignment from 1000 to 2000 words, depending upon editorial requirements.
A short sidebar or a dedicated cultural feature on Angkor Wat/Siem Reap and/or Phnom Penh can also be written.
