After finally securing caddies for everyone, our group proceeded to play our second golf game at Springfields. Pakdokter was slotted to play with Datuk Tajri and YA Yusof Ahmad - the two most senior golfers in the STAROBA contingent. All three of us are in our 60's - and pakdokter was given the honour to play from the white tees in the company of these senior gentlemen. Pakdokter had a funny feeling that this decision was also compounded by the fact that pakdokter played a 'horrible' game at the Vintage Golf Course on the first day!

the dry spell caused the lakes to be quite empty
In the end pakdokter played a fairly commendable game, playing to a nearly par golf to the revised handicap of 21 from an earlier 19. The second day's game also gave pakdokter a ball-sweep prize for one of the Nines. Datuk Tajri who played well initially faltered towards the end. YA Yusof Ahmad palyed a commendable steady game to match pakdokter.
The Club Restaurant fixed a 'halal' lunch spread for us after the game. As the Leisure Golf van was not available as it had been used to take the ladies for their shopping tour, pakdokter took a taxi back to the hotel which cost 500 bahts.
