World Classic

Got my first peek at her today.... Rain delayed twice means I only got too play 6 holes... but wow!

There is mixed reaction from people that have played, but I can tell you from my point of view it is one awesome course...

Still adding finishing touches, more sand to be added, but some of the holes really are spectacular, as they should be after being modelled on some of the Worlds best...

It will take a few games to really get used to it, from the tees it is reall hard to see a landing area, and the greens are undulated, but all that aside, I have to say I was plesantly surprised and impressed....

Is this the new one @ Laguna????

I can tell you that 2 full time touring Pro's and I mean good ones...... shot 78 and 84 respectivley from the tips....

But as I say if you played it a few times, or had a good yardage book that showed you landing areas etc.. it would not be that bad...

Always hard playing when you can see nothing but trouble, even when the landing areas are generous... the mark of a good designer I guess...

Just as an aside, all the distances on the Masters course have been changed on the sprinkler heads........ from metres to yards... now explain that to me............

heard the price's also 'awesome' @ $480. is that true?

Not sure, at the moment is only open to members no guests allowed, I was lucky enough to do some caddy training there.

I am not sure if the guest fee has been set yet.

just received a club circular, more upgrades coming...Masters' course, clubhouse, carpark, tennis court, toilers, restaurants, check-in area, function room, etc.

maybe will play after CNY when i get back from mountain training. anyone (member) wants to play? but for now its strictly members only (just called to enquire)

DGman

Can I join you?

Benny....if you join today, i am sure you can start playing when i get back on the 5th Feb.

for now, no guest allowed.

SS? i am looking forward to a century score to bring back the old memories.

DGman

My century scores are still a weekly affair; so not considered reliving old memories but a normal affair.

But actually I've played there a couple of times; you need to know where to place the ball to score.... Pay some school fees and you'll learn very quickly... Hahaha

SS only your score cards submission are century scores....
