Golf Sail - #317


This is the Dubai Creek Golf Club - a pretty recognisable landmark in Dubai. A little reminiscent of the Sydney Opera in a way. They sail effect is quite common in Dubai - is it elsewhere too?

Park Hyatt Marina - #316


The marina at the Park Hyatt and Dubai Creek Golf Club. A very nice hotel and, I'm told, one of the best golf clubs in Dubai.

Oh to have a little money... :)

Al Badia Club House - Festival City - #269


Do I live in a desert?

This is one of the latest golf course developments. I grew up where the game of golf originated and now it seems I live in the country that has become golf obsessed.

There are courses and developments here that are designed by Colin Montgomery, The Great White Shark, Ernie Els and of course, Tiger Woods happening now. It's big business...

On The Browns - #204


At Hatta we played a short round of nine hole golf. Desert style...

The Greens were called Browns and the fairways were rock strewen, thorn bush infested dusty trails. You carry around a small square of astro turf on to which you place your ball before taking the shot.

A weird variation on the classic game of golf.
