Today, I am off to Asia and looking forward to my Korean Air and EVA Air flights. I have back-to-back meetings from the minute I land at Incheon to the moment I return. I will also be visiting Bangkok and Taipei as part of this trip.

I am really looking forward to playing golf at Weihai Point Golf & Resort in China this weekend. Fourteen holes are positioned on the Yellow Sea, and many of these holes sit on a narrow peninsula. I am sure the wind will play a huge factor in aim and club selection. The first six holes play along the peninsula and are about 30 to 100 feet above the waves of the Yellow Sea below. The par five that measures 500 yards requires a tee shot of 220 yards to carry the sea and make the fairway. I am looking forward to seeing which member of my group makes this shot! This hole’s green sits on a cliff and is guarded by six pot bunkers.

The course was opened a year ago and it should prove exciting! Hey, how often does one get the chance to play golf in China?
