Hi Mulligan,

Nice photos. How was the weather?? Looks perfect for golfing!!!! Am planning a golfing vacation in September and China is one of the options.

kunming is called eternal spring, you will love the weather there anything from 10deg c in the morning to 23/25 deg in the afternoon.low humidity .can play 36 holes without breaking into a sweat. spring city, the greens are slick like putting on a marble surface,be warn. lots of 3 putts even 4 putts.listen to the caddies ,they know the greens inside out. enjoy

Mulligen is absolutely right. The greens there are quite tricky. Speaking from personal experience, if your caddy asks you to putt right even if the line looks left, do what the caddy suggests

full marks for kunming.

love it to bits.

caddies there say if you go around dec/jan, you can play at temperatures around 10 deg celsius

I go there... see my ball fly... damn happy =)

I love how the divots come out in perfect rectangular shapes as if cut out by hand. The strips are so perfect that when you replace them, they fit perfectly back into the divot holes.

Amazing!

And yes, very tricky dicky greens!

My expression after I putted some of the greens:

lol... golf balls go ice-skating.
par 3-- 1 on 5putt = double par (*diao)

you got it there birdman!

PGA-divots on well struck irons shots.

divots are like the size of a parking coupon. all same same!

as for putting, after the first 1-2 holes, if your caddy is good, you will know and then trust her for the rest of the rounds. i mean it, TRUST her.

stimpmeter reads like 12, sometimes 14. far cry from the 8 or 9 at palm villa or something.... haha.

would it be better to try to organise a trip oneself or is the hassle really not worth it? i'm trying to organise a company 4d3n trip to mission hills SZ.
