The virus didn’t really kick in until the back nine, so we got off to a good start with a Birdie on the Par 3 [...]]]> http://birdiegolfblog.com/match-play-birdie-hk-golf-club-hong-kong/feed/ 0 http://birdiegolfblog.com/lone-birdie-deep-water-bay-hong-kong/ http://birdiegolfblog.com/lone-birdie-deep-water-bay-hong-kong/#comments Fri, 07 Oct 2011 12:00:06 +0000 birdie http://birdiegolfblog.com/?p=3686 Share|On this 9-hole executive course, we managed only one Birdie. It happened on the Par 3 10th hole (actually the 1st played the second time around). At 89 yards, our 56° wedge got below the hole for an easy 6 footer. The greens are small and several Par 3s are over 180 yards, one even [...]]]> http://birdiegolfblog.com/lone-birdie-deep-water-bay-hong-kong/feed/ 0 http://birdiegolfblog.com/two-birdies-in-six-holes-hong-kong-golf-club/ http://birdiegolfblog.com/two-birdies-in-six-holes-hong-kong-golf-club/#comments Fri, 29 Jul 2011 12:00:59 +0000 birdie http://birdiegolfblog.com/?p=3513 Share|Typhoon signal #3 was hoisted in Hong Kong but the skies looked calm enough to get us out to Hong Kong Golf Club’s Eden Course for a round of golf. Unfortunately, we only lasted six holes before being totally wiped out on the 7th tee. Nevertheless, we managed two Birdies. On the Par 3 2nd, [...]]]> http://birdiegolfblog.com/two-birdies-in-six-holes-hong-kong-golf-club/feed/ 0 http://birdiegolfblog.com/managed-to-wake-up-and-make-two-birdies-hk-golf-club-hong-kong/ http://birdiegolfblog.com/managed-to-wake-up-and-make-two-birdies-hk-golf-club-hong-kong/#comments Fri, 10 Jun 2011 12:00:19 +0000 birdie http://birdiegolfblog.com/managed-to-wake-up-and-make-two-birdies-hk-golf-club-hong-kong/ Share|Playing at the Eden Course at the Hong Kong Golf Club, it took us until the fifth hole to wake up. On the downhill Par 3 5th, the strong wind called for switching our 8-iron to a 7. And rightfully so. I landed 10 feet past the hole leaving a tricky downhill putt.
