ASIAN TOUR: ABOUT THE COURSE

/noticias.info/ The Taiwan Golf and Country Club's Tamsui course is located in the northern town of Tamsui. The original course was constructed in 1914 but only three holes were playable then.

The first nine holes were ready in 1919 and it was only a decade later that Japanese designer Akahoshi Shiro completed the entire 18-hole layout. The course now measures 6,950 yards and each hole presents challenges that vary according to the hilly terrain and wind direction.

Nicknamed the "Cradle of the Golfers", the Tamsui course has been the breeding ground for top Chinese Taipei players like "Mr" Lu Liang-huan, Hsieh Min-nan, Chen Ching-po and last year's Mercuries Taiwan Masters champion Lu Wei-chih.
