Friday was the Wesak Day, a Buddhist Festival celebrated both in Malaysia and in Indonesia. Being a public holiday, the Imperial Karawaci Golf Course was quite packed that Friday. Our group was lucky to be able to get 7 slots for the 27 golfers that morning.
Pakdokter had played at the Imperial Karawaci several times in the past, mostly with the Staroba Golf Tours. But the course was still a difficult 'baby' to tame. The fairways are narrow and undulating. Being used to playing on a somewhat flat course at the RSGC, pakdokter found it hard to get used to the undulations of the fairways here. The same difficulty was shared by pakTgFarith, who happened to play that morning in pakdokter's flight together with pakRosli and pakKamal who dropped in to Jakarta the evening before. Pakdokter had in fact pulled one of the tee shots into one of the luxury bungalows lining the fairway. Luckily no window was broken!

The scores above bore testimony to the level of difficulty of this course, at least to pakdokter and to a degree to pakTgFarith, both members of the RSGC. We teed-off from the 2nd Nine and both pakdokter and pakTgFarith returned scores of 56 and 55 respectively. We both settled down a bit on the return flight with improved scores of 50 (pakdokter) and 47(pakTgFarith). PakRosli and pakKamal played relatively well to their handicaps of 15 and 14.
Between us, we played a partnership game over every 6 holes and unfortunately for the day pakdokter came out with the loosing partner in all the three rounds. And in the individual game against pakTgFarith, pakdokter lost 8 balls to him.
PakTgAzman who was cleanly beaten by all on the day before asked pakdokter for a bet based on the card and he came home slightly better than pakdokter. According to him pakdokter lost 5 balls and so the bet was duly paid.....
