All I can tell you is that it is on Hainan Island, China.

It's a Hurdzan/Fry course on the outskirts of Haikou, not far from the airport.

That's not an S, it's a Chinese Dragon.

Thanks Tom,

Is it anywhere near the Mission Hills project mentioned on the other thread?

That's a European dragon. Not to be found on Hainan Island.

Not too far anymore -- you could get a golf cart across the Chunnel in no time!

Melvyn doesn't believe in golf carts.  Dragons maybe; golf carts never.

A US copy of Cruden Bay after some LSD perhaps or is this how Garland normally see a golf course from the air- a big No. 2.

Melvyn, while living in Scotland I loved putting SCOTLAND on the immigration form when landing at Heathrow and every time the officier would put a line through it and write UK.   I'd always thought Scotland was a country.

Scotland is a Kingdom and county in its own right, the problem is the world we live in. Where PC has gone mad with many no longer speaking through the Chairman but the Chair. Of the rights of the criminals overshadowing those of their victims.

We have MPs that think they are doing us a favour by spending our money freely on themselves and sending our troops to war with hardly any proper equipment to do the job or worst still protect them while trying to the job.

But then all you have to do is look at the likes of Tiger Woods to see the type of heroes worship we have today  - perhaps we just deserve what we get. But then I suppose if The R&A are not interested in protecting the game of golf why should the UK Government care about its components parts.

Its all about betrayal, just have to work through the BS to find it. And I do take your point
