After day one, 36 holes later, Birdie Golf was nowhere to be seen. There were at least two lip put birdie putts and one OB birdie. But persistence prevailed and on day two, 50 holes later, Birdie Golf arrived in Kunming on the [...]]]> http://birdiegolfblog.com/birdie-golf-arrives-in-kunming-china/feed/ 0 http://birdiegolfblog.com/review-spring-city-kunming-china-lake-course/ http://birdiegolfblog.com/review-spring-city-kunming-china-lake-course/#comments Sat, 27 Jun 2009 10:30:45 +0000 birdie http://birdiegolfblog.com/?p=54 Share|WOW!!! This is Heaven. The course layout is stunning with beautifully manicured tee boxes. This Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed course forces you to think strategy. A lot of blind shots and doglegs make your club selection vital in order to score well. The rough is also very penal, and will cost you at least [...]]]> http://birdiegolfblog.com/review-spring-city-kunming-china-lake-course/feed/ 0 http://birdiegolfblog.com/review-spring-city-kunming-china-mountain-course/ http://birdiegolfblog.com/review-spring-city-kunming-china-mountain-course/#comments Sat, 27 Jun 2009 10:00:01 +0000 birdie http://birdiegolfblog.com/?p=55 Share|We’ve always loved mountain courses and we had high expectations for this Jack Nicklaus designed course. Unfortunately, it was pouring rain on our first day. No birdies on the first day, but one finally came on our second round the next day. The greens were fast (10 on the stimpmeter) but not as fast as [...]]]> http://birdiegolfblog.com/review-spring-city-kunming-china-mountain-course/feed/ 0 http://birdiegolfblog.com/review-%e7%8f%8d%e5%91%b3%e9%a4%a8-zhen-wei-guan-kunming-china/ http://birdiegolfblog.com/review-%e7%8f%8d%e5%91%b3%e9%a4%a8-zhen-wei-guan-kunming-china/#comments Fri, 26 Jun 2009 14:00:28 +0000 birdie http://birdiegolfblog.com/?p=160 Share|You won’t believe how we found this restaurant. It was recommended by the masseuse our friend used at Spring City! Famous for their wild mushrooms, this is not to be missed. Just tell the driver the restaurant name 珍味館 (Zhen Wei Guan) and all locals know this place. A word of caution though, either print [...]]]> http://birdiegolfblog.com/review-%e7%8f%8d%e5%91%b3%e9%a4%a8-zhen-wei-guan-kunming-china/feed/ 0
