If you’re taking a golf lesson in Hong Kong and want to know how to play Kau Sai Chau’s East Course, read on…
The 3rd hole on Kau Sai Chau’s Public Golf Course East Course is a little bugger of a Par 3. It usually plays around 140 from the whites and 160-170 from the blues. The tee shit is intimidating, anything right and you’ll end up in the jungle, a bunker fronts the right front of the green. There’s a little bail out area on the left, followed by a steep embankment with long grass. If your Hong Kong golf coach has taught you well, you’ll aim at the left side of the green and hit a little fade, regardless of where the pin is placed. If you miss it left, you’ll be faced with a particularly difficult shot to a green sloping away from you and steep cliff on the other side of the green. Anything right is dead and the drop zone is about 60 yards back.
The green is a double-tiered green making distance control even more important and adding to the difficulty of the shot. It’s just a good, difficult, but not too difficult hole but as long as you make the right miss (which is left) you should take a big number out of play.
