SKYCITY NINE EAGLES GOLF

I was curious when I recently heard that someone had built a nine hole golf course next to the Hong Kong International Airport. Finally got the chance to play it yesterday when our golf society, WAGS, organised and event there.

The course in called the Skycity Nine Eagles golf club. Perhaps nine bogies might have been a better name? For such a new course it looked lush and green and was nicely laid out. I thought it was going to be easy but it turned out to be quite a challenge. Mostly par threes with a couple of par fours down the middle.

We had arranged to play one round in the afternoon, have dinner at the Thai restaurant in the clubhouse and then play a second round under lights after dinner. After a great dinner and a few beers, and playing under lights, I seemed to play a lot better - perhaps something to do with being more relaxed and not being able to see so well? Can't really be sure but I did enjoy the day out and look forward to playing there again in the future.
