Central CoastThe Central Coast area is famous for it’s endless stretches of beaches and warm climate throughout the year. But beware of the prevailing winds coming from the sea, as they usually can destroy a well setup shot in a moment and get you into lots of trouble!

Tips for playing golf in a hot climate Sunglasses will help with visibility and sunglare Decent shorts and polo-shirts are accepted on courses through-

out the region (Note: some courses will only allow a 3 button polo type shirt)

Bring a small towel to dry off sweat. Moisten a handkerchief is also a good way to cool down the face, hands and arms.

Bring 2 or 3 golf gloves and change every 3 or 4 holes Drink plenty of water before and during the game Avoid alcohol as it dehydrates the body Take short rests during the game without delaying other groups Don’t eat heavy meals on the course - eat fruits instead

Playing in hot weather creates special stresses to the body that you must watch for like dehydration and fatigue and in some more severe cases, heat exhaustion.So to perform at your best in the heat and avoid health risks while play-ing sports you need to take a few necessary precautions like the follow-ing tips and pointers: Book a Tee-time early in the morning Wear a cap or hat Apply sun block particularly on the ears, nape of neck, nose and other

exposed areas Wear light colored clothes made of a breathable fabric

Stay in the shade as much as possible when not hitting and carry an umbrella

Hit less balls when warming up Get plenty of sleep the night before playing 18 holes

Meandering creeks cross several of the holes almost making for blind water hazards and severe greenside bunkering which de-mands accurate shot making into the greens.

MyanmarMyanmar maintains unique golf courses most of them being built by the British during early 1900s but in good and playable condi-tion. Today there are 70 golf courses scattered all over the country from Myitkyina in far north Myanmar to the southernmost town of Kawthaung (formerly Victoria Point). The best golf courses are lo-cated around the capital city Yangon and some major tourist sites such as Bagan and Mandalay. Myanmar is ideal for those who primarily want to enjoy a vacation in a exotic surrounding, marvel upon some of the most impressive historical monuments, indulge in the hospitality of the local people and play some exciting rounds of golf in between.

Touted as the ‘Best Golf Course in Myanmar’ and ‘The Pride of Myan-mar’, this Gary Player-designed Par-72 7,102-yard course is the latest addition to the golf scene in the country. Opened since 2000, it’s just 15-minute drive from the Yangon Airport and is carved out of the beautiful surrounding in between the Hlaing and Pun Rivers, and hence the name. Not only does it offer a nice view of downtown Yangon, this golf course boasts of facilities of a very high standard. With well mani-cured greens and menacing bunkers, fairways snuggling the me-andering waters off the two rivers, it also has the vantage point of viewing a beautiful sunset, if all else about the game must fail.

Sprawled over 130 hectares and just 25-minute drive to the north of the capital city, YCDC (Read: Yangon City Development Committee) Golf Club boasts of 2 18-hole courses with quite completely different characters.The Ngwe Taw Thar or Silvery Course is spread across a lower and flat plain with wide fairways and large greens. Not surprisingly, it’s also the friendlier of the two and it is the course for all levels. The Myakantha Course or Pondy Course, is more undulating with tight fairways and certainly more demanding for accurate play. Both nines will test the player’s stroke play ability equally. It staged the Asian PGA events twice, in 1998 and 1999.

Yangon Golf Club The Yangon Golf Club is a mature, second oldest (Some say it’s the oldest) club in Myanmar. It was established in 1909 by the British at the present site, and has been continually re-newed over time. It is a museum piece to be played all year round. No one remembers who designed and/or built this richly tree-lined and undulating course, that regularly stages Asian PGA Tours these days.

With the military handing over power to a democratic elected gov-ernment also the few military golf courses are now accessible to the public. Yemon Island Golf Resort is one of them and is a true gem about 1 hrs drive outside Yangon on the route to Bago. The greens and fairways are well maintained and about 70% of the holes are lined with water hazards. The sourounding covered with lush green-ery and the laid back charm of a country side golf course sure calms down the soul from Yangon’s city life.

Sure there isn’t much roll one gets even from a perfect stroke! But if your likings are to be playing an all natural course the scenery and ambiance make up with the rough conditions.
