bogor raya in jakarta

We drive through the traffic crazy Jakarta and it takes about 2 hours to get there. There's nothing much to see.. it's mainly poor Jakarta and a little pathetic compared to the Paradise of a Golf course we're heading to. Funny..makes you think how they build such a nice place in the middle of a really crappy town.The entrance isn't anything grand but the people there are super-nice. The girl at the reception is super cute too. I'd ask her out if I was a single boy.
The Pro shop/Registration is exceptional. Fully equipped with all the new gear and again, lovely ladies (you'll hear a lot about them in this post). I must say it's one of the nicest Pro Shops I've been to, and to top it is the great hospitality extended by their staffers.

Left of this is the Pro Shop and to the right is the Clubhouse.. again it's beautiful serene surroundings.


From where I was seated in the clubhouse, looking at the Proshop. On the right is the practice green and driving range, which is out in the open... wah like the way the pro's practice..hitting off the turf.Here's a pic of the clubhouse on the right, far left is the driving range and near left the practice green...just SUPERB!

Our caddies were very good(at least mine was) and they were quite pretty too..

This is another picture from the Clubhouse after we played.
Hehe.. I shot 75 from the Championship tees! I also made 1.3 million that day! Now I know how it feels like to win a Major..haha!
I guess the 'feel good' atmosphere contributed significantly to my performance there. I want to go there again. I wouldn't mind playing bad there at all.

EAGLE!

I got my first eagle today that prompted me to start this..my golf dairy!

Been playing for ages..say 6-8 years and finally down to a low handicapper. A tour wannabe that has not realized his full potential or a tour wannabe who doesn't realize he's past his fullest potential. I'll find the answers as this blog develops.

Today I shot a 5 over 77 on a relatively easy course but fairly damp as a downpour developed after our second hole. Play resumed after 45 minutes. Pretty dull and normal until the eagle happened. I drove the 8th to 1 ft of the pin with a slight fade.

I had an eagle and a birdie,8 pars and i guess 8 bogeys. Driver and 3 wood was acceptable, and short game was exceptional*. *note to self- reverted back to ball on right toe for low chips and made more use of the 54*. This made for attacking the pin when I could and the 50m was executed with the 54 running it to the pin.

Oyah before I forget- also reminded myself to turn my back against the target to get maximum rotation for the driver.

It's like a love affair .. It hurts like a heartbreak when I hit it bad, and when I hit it good it's like levitation.
