We were booked to play at the Royal Sumatera on Saturday morning. It was surprisingly empty for a weekend. Apparently most of the local golfers were at the Bukit Barisan where the Bank Mandiri Championship was taking place. 140 golfers took part in this local event. We were quite happy to have the Royal Sumatera to ourselves
pakAmin, pakdokter, pakRais and pakDatoJai..
The Royal Sumatera clubhouse has been completed and opened for use just a few months ago. Early last year when pakdokter played here the clubhouse was in a makeshift building with very few lockers and a handful of shower stalls. Since being taken over by a Korean company, it is now the best course in Medan, comparable to many good course in Jakarta and Surabaya.
The golf course was also in good shape and the green played to a fast green speed of 10!
Both pakAmin and pakRais were confident enough to give both pakdokter and pakDatoJai more strokes, having seen what we could do the previous day.
Pakdokter again started off with a promise and had a par at the first hole. But that was only a splash in the pan. We all kept losing to pakAmin who was in his element throught the game. Even the usually good golfer in pakRais could not match pakAmin's consistent game. PakAmin came out very rich from this outing.
pakRais with his 'unusual' but effective drive...
oops.....sorry Dato....
masuk kebun keledek pak....
from the sound of it you can deduce that
it was a great shot......pakAmin in action..
walau pun kalah, pakRais tetap 'happy'...
It was quite a hot and humid day, so after lunch, we all went for a two hour spa treatment at one of the local spa outlets in Medan. We all spent the night at the " Soccer" Sports Bar of the hotel till the wee hours of the morning and took it easy on Sunday morning before returning home on the afternoon flight.
