A turn-around trip to the District of Columbia today... delayed both ways by an all-day deluge in the northeast... kept me away from this keyboard for what seemed like forever. I'm just in, and it's after midnight. The day was long, not to mention chilly and wet and gray.
I was in the Nation's Capitol to begin work on a writing project with a distinguished financial writer, who's also an avid golfer. Our topic is one of the most interesting in golf today: the growth of the game in China.
After discussing the subject for several hours this afternoon, I know it's going to be amazing to visit some of the country's extraordinary golf venues later this year... and I look forward to talking to some of those who've been involved with golf in China since its (fairly recent) beginning.

Hey Patricia, this is a strangely ironic post considering I might have the opportunity to go play Yalong Bay Golf Club in Sanya, China in a couple weeks... I've read that it's a pretty sweet course.. and hopefully I'll get to see/play it in person!
ReplyDeleteDespite the difficult travel, it sounds like a great opportunity. Be sure to take lots of great video & photos.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Patricia. I'm sure it will be a fantastic project on many levels.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful opportunity you have, P.
ReplyDeleteWith 1.33B potential golfers, we may see complete Asian golf domination within 20-25 years. Maybe you should brush up on your Mandarin dialects and apply for Golf Czar...
The world economies are so connected these days. We better hope China can keep growing!
