| Post subject: Shexpat Golf Society |
Who is interested in creating a golf society here?
Anyone that has time on their hands Looking to play regular and meet once or maybe twice a month preferably on a weekend day.
We can play a different course every time, create competitions with prizes.
Heres a list of to do's
1. Need a regular minibus driver to take us to the courses and back at a reasonable rate.
2. We need someone to negotiate with the local clubs, green fees including breakfast or lunch etc...
3. Anyone that works in the industry here would love to hear from you as most of us will probaly be playing as visitors.
4. I need clubs and equipment, best places to shop and buy?
I know Walrus and Mat are up for it, anyone else? |

Northeast corner of nanjing lu and zhongqing lu. Two blocks west of the Marriott on Nanjing Lu. "Sunshine Fashion and Accesories Mall"...aka new Zhenyang Market on Puxi side. Science and Technology MRT stop on the Pudong side. Full set (Putter, Irons, Woods) of US brand name(Taylormade, Ping, Callaway...) plus golf bag of "A" grade clubs should be about $150USD. Tell them less than you have to spend...they will guide you to B grade...not that much of a difference really, they will rust slower!....bargain hard and you should be all set. |

come on...this is China!!! The only place i've seen a net is in JinAn (forget the Engname of that plaza above the metro). It's 久光in Chinese. There is a golf shop up on the 6th/7th floor that has a net. Pretty cool setup but the clubs cost a $$$$$ |

LuJaiZui Looks to be favourite by taxi, I have read the range charges by the hour approx RMB 80 which is fine by me. |

The LuiJiazui one is the shite for sure. Not a problem to lug clubs on the metro. In fact, maybe buy one of those little travel bags that fits about 4 or 5 clubs in. that is all you need.
I will see what i can do to get this thing off the ground. Maybe the lads at www.justbeer.cn can do something??? |
