Staroba Jakarta Open 2009 (VI): Dinner and prize presentations at the Le Meridien...

The final dinner and the prize presentation award was held at the pool-side of the Le Meridien hotel. As we helped ourselves to the buffet dinner, we were entertained to a group of young musicians who called their band the 'Latina Acoustics'.

Some of the golfers took the chance to show off that they were equally good at singing as they were at golfing.

The overall winner for the 3-day game was pakAlewi Ariffin, who by the way, was the defending champion of the Staroba Medan Masters 2009 held in the middle of the year. Well done Alewi, hope to see you challenging for the title again at the next tour, the Staroba Bogor Escapades 2009 in October.....

Apart from the individual competition, a Ryder's Cup format game was also held between the team of Staroba Golf Club ( whose members are true-blue alumni of STAR) against the team who called themselves 'the Rest of the World' ( whose members were made up of alumni of MCKK, Sekolah Alam Shah, RMC, MRSM and even boarding schools in UK - the Tengku Brothers..) The record so far has been that Staroba had won 11 times as against 2 for the Rest of the World. Well, for this trip, the Rest of the World took the bounty with a score of 435 against 420. Well done, the Rest of the World....
