You've seen the Olympic birds nest stadium. You've seen the Great Wall. Well now we have Mission Hills, near Hong Kong. This place has 12 courses, designed by 12 'world renowned golf legends'. they are Niklaus, Norman, Annika, Els, Vijay (1st name terms?)Faldo,Olazabal, Duval,Ozaki, Leadbetter, Pete Dye and Zhang Lianwei (need both names?)
Theres night Golf, Beach bunkers, Jungle, Mountain peaks rock walls and the worlds toughest island green. Nick Faldo's course is to be Asia's premier tournament course. The Ernie Els course looks a bit like South Africa? What is that all about? Surely when you go to China you want to see China? The other day I noticed a Dubai Course was designed with a Mediterranean theme. Surely theres enough culture, style and identity in Dubai and China to keep their courses looking like the country they are in? Are there any south China Sea courses in the Algarve?I must add that Olazabal has at least made a study of Golf Course design while out of action, confined to a wheelchair in from 1994. I wonder if you can tell the difference when you play it. Let me Know.
