We went up to prepare with a practice round on Friday and managed one Birdie. This happened on the Par [...]]]> http://birdiegolfblog.com/weekend-of-birdies-lotus-hill-china/feed/ 2 http://birdiegolfblog.com/roller-coaster-round-palm-island-china/ http://birdiegolfblog.com/roller-coaster-round-palm-island-china/#comments Fri, 15 Jul 2011 12:00:05 +0000 birdie http://birdiegolfblog.com/?p=3445 Share|We were playing at the annual JWNV tournament celebrating our dear friend Johnny Wong’s 60th Birthday. We were blessed with cloudy skies and managed to avert the thunderstorms and heavy rain that were in the forecast. On the Lychee and Lake courses at Palm Island, China, we started from the Lychee’s 6th hole and after [...]]]> http://birdiegolfblog.com/roller-coaster-round-palm-island-china/feed/ 0 http://birdiegolfblog.com/late-birdies-wind-valley-china/ http://birdiegolfblog.com/late-birdies-wind-valley-china/#comments Thu, 14 Jul 2011 12:00:15 +0000 birdie http://birdiegolfblog.com/?p=3440 Share|We never played well at the public course at Wind Valley in Shenzhen, China. As it was a while ago since our last game here, we were hoping to shoot better this time. Things didn’t seem too rosy from the start and on the 14th hole, we were faced with a torrential downpour. We thought [...]]]> http://birdiegolfblog.com/late-birdies-wind-valley-china/feed/ 0 http://birdiegolfblog.com/island-green-birdie-mission-hills-china/ http://birdiegolfblog.com/island-green-birdie-mission-hills-china/#comments Tue, 07 Jun 2011 12:00:03 +0000 birdie http://birdiegolfblog.com/?p=3363 Share|It was a rough day. Two back to back quadruple bogeys meant that this was not a good round. Nevertheless, on the signature hole of the Faldo Course at Mission Hills, China, the magic finally arrived. This Par 3 island green with the flag at the front showed 102 yards on the rangefinder. The caddy [...]]]> http://birdiegolfblog.com/island-green-birdie-mission-hills-china/feed/ 0 http://birdiegolfblog.com/tap-in-birdie-cts-tycoon-gc-china/ http://birdiegolfblog.com/tap-in-birdie-cts-tycoon-gc-china/#comments Fri, 29 Apr 2011 12:00:51 +0000 birdie http://birdiegolfblog.com/?p=3308 Share|We haven’t been to Tycoon Golf Club in Shenzhen, China ever since they changed management and redid all their 27 holes as well as adding 18 more. Like many clubs in China, everything is huge! Our caddie was pretty good for her age. We thought she was just 18 but “I’m already 20″ was her [...]]]> http://birdiegolfblog.com/tap-in-birdie-cts-tycoon-gc-china/feed/ 0
