This month CNN’s show Living Golf travels to Vietnam. the show airs on 8, 15, 22 and 29 March at 7 pm.

The show's host Becky Anderson explores the golf culture in this country. In 1922, Vietnam's last Emperor Bao Dai built a summer retreat and a nine-hole golf course in Dalat, a city located in the central highlands of Vietnam. However, this first ever course in Vietnam was closed following the end of his rule in 1945. That was until Doctor Dao Hach arrived and slogged for 50 years to bring the course back to life. Unfortunately the Vietnam War in the 1960's ruined it yet again. Nowadays, the course stands as his legacy of keeping the game alive in Vietnam.

Vietnam veteran golfer Ngo Van Xuan talks about his career was lost to the above mentioned war. Xuan won Vietnam’s last Open championship in 1968 before he, alongside other top players in the country at the time, were drafted into the southern Vietnamese army. Now, these elders spend their time teaching the game and hoping of a revival in the modern era.

The half-hour programme also visits an eccentric monk, living in the foothills of Dalat, who paints and speaks 11 languages. His monastery is a labyrinth of thousands of paintings he has done over 50 years.
Additionally, CNN correspondent Martin Savage takes viewers to venture into the world’s most dangerous golf course. This sits in the demilitarised zone between North and South Korea.
