WeChat: While we usually create a WhatsApp group for event communication and banter, the app is blocked in China. So, we have created a WeChat Group for the week. Note that this MAY become the main source of communications for the week, so please download the WeChat App, and then Search For the Mission Hills Masters Chat (and use the code 7272). Alternately, you can try to scan the following QR Code (which may download WeChat and add you to the chat. We hope! Hint: have a fellow player pull up this page, and then you can scan it on your phone)
Golf Bag Tags: Players receive a bag tag at registration. Please secure this to your golf bag as soon as you receive it. If you don't have your name/tag on your golf bag, we will not be able to efficiently manage your bag throughout the week, and you also create the opportunity for the bag to be lost.
Bag Storage: Mission Hills will store and deliver your bag to the courses each day and have it waiting on your golf cart. Always remove valuables from your bag before storing it after golf. If you choose to keep your bag after golf (for practice, etc), you must deliver it to the hotel concierge by 6pm the night before your next round.
TIPPING
- Suggested Tip for the Hotel Bellhop is 10RMB per bag
- For tipping your caddy: For rounds 1-3, there will be one caddy for two players. A suggested tip would be 150RMB per player (about $30AUD). At Blackstone (Round 4), there is one caddy per player, with a suggested tip of 200RMB per player (about $42AUD).
- For the Extension courses, please plan on tipping between 150-200RMB per player.
Currency: The Resort and surrounding/adjacent shops all accept Credit Cards. You will likely only need local currency for your /bellhop/caddy tips (see above), incidentals and for any off-site shopping, etc.
Hotel Incidentals: Just a reminder to pay any incidentals at the hotel the night before we check out.
MONDAY: Round 1 Group Photo: A group photo will be taken prior to tee-off. You must wear your Tournament polo shirt and cap if you wish to join the group in the shot. The photo will be taken immediately after player briefing and before tee-off.
TUESDAY: Golf Transfers: Tuesday’s round at Lava Fields is at the South Clubhouse, and requires a 15-minute shuttle transfer. We will have a dedicated shuttle departing at 6:45am SHARP from the front of the hotel. Please plan to board the shuttle around 6:30am to ensure you don’t miss it.
THURSDAY: China and Australia Friendship Cup: For this day, we have arranged a fun side-event that will run concurrently with Round 3.
