9 May 2012 - celebrating my 58th birthday in Jakarta, Indonesia and thanking all friends well wishers on FB and SMS who remembered and thanking wife and sons for the wishes and office-mates in MTC Kuala Lumpur. The group played Pondok Indah Golf Course, a beautiful course located at the Pondok Indah residency. The location of  course is within distance from any  part of Jakarta. It is around 30 minutes from the Jakarta Business District , located in the center of Premium Residence and Commercial Area as part of the premium complexes of business and residences' Located at the South of Jakarta, Pondok Indah Golf Course is about 45 minutes from Jakarta International Airport, Soekarno-Hatta and 1o km from the local business district. Also, it is within walking distance from the well known Pondok Indah Mall 1 & 2 and 5 minutes drive from Pondok Indah Hospital. But then, nobody went to the mall and the hospital. You may be tempted to buy a property here!!

With Bpk Johny, Azmi, Norazam and Ali

The second day pairing was decided by the organizing committee and I played with Bpk. Azmi who was having a very bad cough and nasal infection. Bpk Azmi was sick ever since we reached Jakarta but he decided to play anyway. I played with Ghazali and Norazam to complete the foursome.

The Ikan Game - Introduced to me by Ghazali while playing at the KLGCC, this game required each player to deposit RM 50 to the pool manager. We played for RM (maximum damage) some people play for more! So the pool was RM 200 or IDR 588,000. For every hole there must be one outright winner to collect one Ikan which means the first Ikan was worth RM 200, the second was worth RM 100 and fourth Ikan would be worth RM 50 (RM 200/4 Ikan). Myself and Ghazali ended up with 1 Ikan worth RM18 so we lost RM32. Azmi got 2 Ikan worth RM36 and Norazam got the most, 7 Ikan worth RM 126.


Where is my caddy?
The most difficult hole on the golf course was the Par 3 8th hole measuring 220 yards from the Blue Tee Box. All my flight mates got bogie but my room-mates Bpk. Fazdli told me that he got 9 on this hole! His golf ball went into the bunkers twice and he managed to put the ball 6th on and then three putted!

Nice wide fairways..
Today I scored 94...can't really concentrate on golf!!
