This was the first time that the Koba Invitation competition was held at this golf course. Pakdokter had played at this course a few times before during trips with the Staroba Tours. As such pakdokter had some local knowledge and knew what to expect. On top of that pakdokter was also in a 'confident' mood after a decent performance on Day 2 at Cengkareng. However pakMesha was also familiar with the course and as usual the two of us were expecting a serious and severe match to determine who would come out outright winner at this outing. Our scores remained even at the end of Day 2 - pakdokter's pair lost on Day 1 and won on Day 2.
Pakdokter's Day 2 form prevailed and led pakMesha most of the time. At one stage in the 1st Nine pakdokter went 4-up and allowed pakMesha to reduce the deficit into the 2nd Nine. PakMesha was somewhat rattled by pakdokter's consistency and in the end pakdokter warapped up the game 4 and 3.
PakErik was playing at the Pantai Indah Kapuk for the first time and this affected his confidence somewhat. PakErik hit very long but tended to be wild which cost him as this course has a lot of water hazards on both sides. PakTgAzman took an early lead and looked confident of easily taking a point home but pakErik did not give up easily and came back to square the match at the 15th hole. Under pressure from pakErik, pakTgAzman's game started to falter. Fortunately pakErik also crumbled under pressure and he gave away the 16th and 17th hole to give pakTgAzman a 2 and 1 victory.
At the start of the game pakTgAzman decided to pull out of our normal 'cut-throat' bets against each other as he said he wanted to concentrate on the matchplay event. So in the end pakdokter came home quite 'rich' with winnings from both pakErik and pakMesha. We palyed the usual CBT ( cash before tee-off) format common in Indonesia - with a stake of 100k rupiahs per hole and double that for birdies.
Pakdokter came home with another net score of 68 to the revised handicap of 29 and collected a million odd more rupiahs in the individual prizes.
