| Golf Two questions: What's the cheapest way for someone to play golf without a club membership? I would have to rent clubs and all. Price is way more important than quality to me. And I know of a few driving ranges. Does anyone have any favorites? Are there any standouts as to price? Thanks in advance.  |

| cheap and golf do not go well together here... In Hong Kong, you cannot touch a golf course without a certified handicap card and about $800+... not including clubs, balls, etc... In China, its a bit cheaper, but you should go with a group so as to not be confused with the courses and stuff. I personally enjoy going out to zhongshan every once in a while, and it is about $600 for a guest card if you are playing with a member... There is a great driving range in TST, right opposite to kowloon station (orange line). Without a membership, expect to pay about $150-200 for a few clubs and balls for a couple hours. There is also a few more ranges that are cheaper as you get out of the city. The driving range also has a great thai restaurant inside the facility, so if you go it would be a good idea to take a bite there... If you ever wanna go, I try to head out there at least once a week. |

| I see. I expected to pay a bit, but didn't realize you'd need a handicap card. I used to play a lot back in the day, but I have no idea where I stand now. Probably pretty bad; it's literally been about 5 years... Anyway, I guess I will have to be content with the driving range. Though as I live in TST, that will be very convenient! Give me a call sometime this week when you plan to go. I'm not free tonight, but any day from Thursday to Sunday should be fine. |

| I've been up and played in China a few times and with a ferry to Shekou, green fee, caddy, buggy and clubs I get a couple of quai change from HKD1,000. If there's a group interested when it gets cooler I'm up for it. |
