My Golf Journey

Binod (Ben) Thapa is an avid golfer and world traveler who has worked for over twenty-five years in systems engineering. A native of Kathmandu, Nepal, he has always enjoyed traveling, an interest that continued after he moved to the U.S. in 1989. A few years later, Ben discovered a love of golf when he played for the first time while on a family vacation. These two passions led Ben to pursue a lifelong quest to visit the world while playing the sport. Since then, he has golfed in the capital of every U.S. state, in forty-six countries out of sixty he's visited, and on all seven continents. Today, Ben lives with his wife, Nora, in the Washington, D.C., area where he continues to play golf and spend time with his three adult children.
