HIllview in Golf Magazine

I was waiting in one of those tiny patient rooms for a doctor today. I have to do that way too much with my health issues. At least they had one old ragged issue of Golf magazine in the rack!

I flipped it open to one of the first pages and there before me was a double spread picture that seemed vaguely familiar. It was a golf course and scene I recognized! Reading the caption block, it said it was golfers at the Dongguan Hillview Golf Club, teed up at night, and in the rain! By golly, I've done that there!! Its the Hillview!!!

How had I not heard about this mention, ............ in Golf magazine no less. (For those looking to find it, it was the September 2008 issue, and close to the front in the Teeing Off section.)

But the caption went on to mention that "Rumor has it they have great General Tso's chicken at the halfway house." ........Huh? First off, General Tso's chicken is one of those Americanized dishes called Chinese. I don't think you can get chicken that sweet anywhere in China. And as for food at a halfway house, good luck with that too. All I ever saw were bananas, apples, and chocolate bars. You could get some good dishes in the clubhouse, but not at any halfway house at Hillview. Not when I played there! Great golf, but not great on food. But watch out if you want to try the night golf - it's impossible to read greens, and mosquitos are worse than ever then!
