If you guys head down to Singapore, give me a buzz. We are only 3 hours from Hong Kong.

As KOC said, there are a few private courses that allow weekday play by non members, but all of these are rather expensive. Even the public course is not cheap; by the time we rent clubs, shoes, and a cart or caddie, we'll be over $1000 HK (approx $130 US). The public club takes up the better part of an island and was the first thing I noticed when we were descending into the city. I'm really looking forward to playing; check out these views:

Compda,
I always travel 3 hrs for playing golf in China...but Singapore....yes..3 hours by air...
Anyway, I will go to find you next year as a trip is planned. Possible not to charge me for golf lesson fee?

KOC's clubhead speed 118mph vs. comdpa's 127 mph....
Here is a big question for LBG Pro...of course not asking comdpa...any tips to for me to outdrive comdpa?

Here's the non-LBG Pro answer. He never said you guys had to tee off from the same spot.
And its gotta be straight...I can't do 120-127 anymore. That was when I was swinging out of my socks. Now my stock is about 115 so I guess you will be ahead of me.
