What an amazing honor for you Gary. This was very eye opening for me and I am so happy for the people of Pakistan to have such a wonderful place to play golf. Great video!!!!!!

[@garymartingolf]

I’ve learnt so much about golf in Pakistan this past week, I can’t wait to share the full story, you will get to know all throughout the series. I just can’t believe how much the golf community is similar to the UK, I just wasn’t expecting it.

[@darrenarbergolf]

You are a great ambassador for golf and thee honorary membership is well deserved. You are promoting golf off the beaten track. 👏👏👏

[@Pud56]

What a fantastic video, wonderful welcome and acknowledgement of your visit with the Honorary life membership. Looks well worth a visit, i will investigate

[@garymartingolf]

Golf in Pakistan is all under £20 a round, it’s unreal value. I’m going to look more into potentially hosting a trip in the future.

[@Pud56]

@@garymartingolf great idea, also set up a Ryder cup style event, UK amateurs against a Pakistan team with you as moderator

[@davidjamesmoody922]

What a truly eye opening video in so many ways. Very thought provoking too. The politeness of the chaps over there .... with the added life time membership in itself, wowsers! What a place, course and club look fantastic and at such a cheap (compared to the UK) rate. And seemingly with no pretentious nonsense from what I could see. Opens the GAME up to ALL! Fantastic stuff 👏

[@garymartingolf]

Yeah. Honestly, Pakistan has moved on far more than I’d realised, they love golf and they’re really encourage ladies and juniors and taking pride in their clubs being the most inclusive for all.

[@amalfi460]

Great people in Pakistan, and a great facility being built too

[@garymartingolf]

Yeah, the golf community are great, can’t wait to share more 👌🏼

Hi Gary fair play to you for going outside your comfort zone. Good to have Toheed to chaperone ! I am fascinated by countries like Pakistan and I would never have dreamt that they would have courses like that. well done you came across very well with Mr Ali.

[@garymartingolf]

Thank you… I got a lot more comfortable as the week went on, this was straight from the airport 😄 Can’t wait to share the full couple of weeks and what I know now 🇵🇰

Great looking course and what an honor for Gaz.

[@OneAndOnlyJet]

A real eye-opener Gary! I was like you and never thought Pakistan even had golf courses let alone ones of this quality. So glad you brought this course onto everyones radar through your series. Congratulations on the life membership, a nice touch by the President and a real honour for you. Keep up the good work and look forward to more of the same in the future.

[@garymartingolf]

Isn’t it great that the game of golf is appreciated and played nearly everywhere in the world 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@garymartingolf]

Honestly, I can’t wait to share more of this series, we meet lots of people within golf, and the Pakistani golf community is unbelievable! They care so much about golf, they don’t just play the game, they live it, there trying to grow it through ladies and juniors. I’m sorry, I’m happy to say it, this wasn’t my perception before travelling.

[@davidforbes368]

A very interesting video Gary,it shows that golf is a great sport enjoyed by everyone.

[@stephencsaplar6382]

Love it. Great to showcase golf in Pakistan. Would never have thought golf would be played there and they have so much passion about it. Fantastic about the gift membership, very generous of them.

[@DrRockso.]

Great looking course Gary, thanks for taking us along. Cant wait for more video's during the summer at 105 plus degrees, or 40.5 Celsius.

[@alanmcvittie9413]

What an amazing experience for you, Honorary membership. Veering away from the traditional golf area's and opening doors could be a massive boost to you and the countries golf tourism. Looking forward to the rest of this series.

Very humbling to watch & listen to the man speak about his club. Well done gary & yer friends hosting you

[@ClassicGolfClubs]

Great looking facility, Pakistan's equivalent of Wentworth. I bet you wouldn't be offered life membership if you managed to get a game with the President at Wentworth though. 😉 How many weeks wages would membership be for the average Pakistani?

[@garymartingolf]

I don’t know how much this clubs membership is, I felt cheeky asking, however, most clubs out here sell a lifetime membership for £5k-£10k (life), so I guess it’s a big lump some for most, but great value once you’ve had 5 years golf.
