Shanghai: For a long time now, Tiger Beach has been recognized as the best links course in Asia. To uncover its mystery and aura, a reporter from Golf Digest Taiwan paid a visit to the seaside layout during its hosting of a China Tour event and interviewed club owner and designer Beta Soong.

“The artful design of Tiger Beach is the embodiment of the Scottish links style,” the article said. “The changing weather and the challenging landform provided great problems for the players. Such challenges will undoubtedly draw many famous tournaments to the course in future because of this.”

The article praised the foresight of Chairman Soong, telling of how the industrialist never stopped chasing his dreams. “Right now, 36 holes at Shanghai Silport are complete. My next two projects are to establish the Shanghai Silport David Leadbetter Golf Academy and to build another 18 holes at Tiger Beach. Inspiration comes from thinking, it never comes in a second.”

The article closed by saying how Soong will create a new world in his life with his outstanding talent and perseverance.
