Several countries have recently relaxed their visa policies, and this means Chinese golfers can more easily swing around the world to enjoy international courses during the sport's peak season. Yang Feiyue and Erik Nilsson report.

It seems par for the course that easier entry to several countries is handing a long-range driver to China's globetrotting golfers.

The Republic of Korea's visa exemption for Chinese visitors to Jeju Island and Thailand's visa-on-arrival policy, as well as their proximity, will likely help them attract more Chinese visitors, particularly as China's central government cracks down on illegal courses and restricts certain officials' memberships to clubs to curb corruption.
