Springfields Golf Course (2)


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.
