The New Kuta Gof Course is the newest golf course in Bali and had hosted the Indonesian Open 3 or 4 years ago when it was newly opened. Situated on an area perched on a high cliff south of the Jimbaran district towards the Uluwatu peninsula, it is a links course with narrow fairways, thick rough and hazards and strong winds from the ocean. To make matters worse, the Koba organisers had also decided to play the game from the gold tee ( equivalent to black tee) which made the course very much longer....
There were three competitions being organised that morning - apart from the Koba-Staroba 40 golfers, there were 60 golfers playing in the Kalimantan Cup and another 40 golfers playing in the Bali-Japan competition. So it was a full-house with a short-gun start at 7.30 am.
