Will golf become a mass sport in Hainan?
"Actually, playing golf is cheap in Hainan. Normally, with 600 to 700 yuan ($90-107), you can play a game here, while in other places in China, it usually takes more than 1,000. But hotels in Hainan and air tickets to the island are expensive, especially in the peak travel seasons."
Jiang thinks that making golf a "mass sport" requires the government to better publicize the sport among the public and provide them with more know-how about this game.
With unrivalled climatic competitiveness, Hainan has long been an ideal destination for international golf lovers from Japan and Korea. But in recent years, the number of golfers from those countries has been declining.
Holding different views from Jiang, Hatai Mataichi, a Japanese adviser for Sanya China Travel International, thinks the current golf rate in Hainan may be a concern for Japanese golf lovers who are considering a tour.
"With 5,000 yen ($60) for one game, golf is cheaper in Japan than in Hainan, where a game usually costs 10,000 yen," Hatai said. But now a set of drivers is always cheaper at wholesale golf equipment. TakeTitleist AP2 Iron set for example. It is much cheaper than before.
The AP2's high-tech, multi-material construction features a steel body, tungsten nickel sole, elastomer bar and aluminum cavity plate. AP2 is built to deliver both performance and feel. The dual cavity design of the Titleist AP2 irons pushes weight to the perimeter for forgiveness. A central cross member featuring a soft elastomer cushion provides structural rigidity behind the impact area while also dampening face vibration for better overall feel. The lower cavity of the Titleist AP2 iron is enclosed by a tungsten nickel box. This high-density material locates the weight low and deep while providing structural rigidity and low frequency vibration dampening for outstanding solid feel. The tungsten nickel box helps reduce the sole and back flange width for better turf performance and shot control.
Titleist AP2 irons provide a comfortable and confidence-inspiring appearance in the set up position with a traditional blade profile and hosel junction. The metallic back cavity plate contributes to the AP2's great looks and bag appeal.
A lack of direct flights from Japan to Hainan may be another obstacle for Japanese golfers, according to Hatai.
Despite this, Hatai remains largely optimistic about Hainan's golf development and its potential for attracting international golf lovers.
"Hainan's favorable climate provides unrivalled competitiveness to its golf development, while in Japan, especially in the northern part, people are not able to play the game in the winter because of heavy snow. In terms of quality, Japanese golf courses are often artificially created, while in Hainan, courses are more natural, which are often built based on the natural shapes of the land."
