The Lake Club Golf Section held its April Medal at the Melaka Ayer Keroh Golf Course on Saturday, 21st April 2011. A total of 30 golfers took part in the game. Pakdokter drove down with Martin Chan instead of taking the bus with the rest of the group as we wanted to return to KL early immediately after the game.

Pakdokter played in the flight with Martin Chan, Shaiful and Steven Soh. Martin and pakdokter played to our handicaps of 24 while the other two played to a handicap of 21. Unfortunately the weather was unkind that morning - it rained heavily after the 3rd or 4th hole and the game finally ended at almost 3 pm. Pakdokter played so badly - starting with 4 consecutive 'double-pars' in the first 4 starting holes. Although pakdokter came back in subsequent holes, the earlier scores were too bad to make any difference.

Ayer Keroh is a lovely golf course carved out of the natural hilly and foresty surroundings. Many of the old trees have been left untouched by the golf course development. It is a relatively difficult course - with very long par 5's - the longest being more than 600 yards. The greens are small and mostly sloping downhill with quite a fast speed.
