We played The Lakes, Sydney, in the morning but no Birdie luck there. So we played our back 18 at Eastlake Golf Club next door. Then on the 14th hole, a short [...]]]> http://birdiegolfblog.com/dragon-birdie-eastlake-gc-sydney/feed/ 0 http://birdiegolfblog.com/birdie-on-180-yard-par-3-discovery-bay-hong-kong/ http://birdiegolfblog.com/birdie-on-180-yard-par-3-discovery-bay-hong-kong/#comments Sun, 08 Jan 2012 12:00:30 +0000 birdie http://birdiegolfblog.com/?p=3854 Share|The hole was cut on the left on the Par 3 Diamond 8 today. Playing 180 yards, we took the 24° hybrid and aimed right at the flag. We were dead on target and I just missed the flag by less than a foot, stopping six feet past the hole.

We were not disappointed. On Jade 4, our fourth hole, our tee shot was not that exciting. In fact, we were lucky to carry the water!

On the 151 yard Par 3, even with the wind helping, we took a 6-iron to go for the back pin.

Missing the fairway to the left, we hit a 4-hybrid against a strong wind. Again missing the fairway to the left, we were left with 100 yards to the hole in the rough.
