PGMS stands for Persatuan Golf Melayu Selangor and its office is at Sri Selangor Golf Club. For the month of September 2018, it organized a overseas golf trip for its members and 16 golfers took the challenge. For a fee of RM1,850 you get return airfare by Malaysian Airlines, 3 golf outings and single room accommodation for 3 nights and 2 sponsored dinners. So I managed to convince 3 of my friends to join the outing and Jakarta here we come.
We took the early morning flight to Jakarta and upon arrival proceeded to Sentul Highlands golf course for the first round of golf. Most of the golfers didn't perform well for lack of sleep and motivation but there were people who can play with or without sleep. These were different breed of golfers who have golf implanted in their brains.
After golf we returned to Jakarta and checked in at the Ibis Styles Hotel at Gajah Mada, fka All Seasons Hotel. It is a nice 3 star hotel with large lobby and outdoor swimming pool and located next door to Gajah Mada Mall. A few meters away is the Jakarta Fruit Market where you can buy delicious fruits like Salak Pasir, Harum Manis, Jeruk, Avocado etc. Opposite the hotel at night there are stalls selling street food if you can stomach them, they are much cheaper than eating at Rumah Makan.
Second day we played at Permata Sentul GC, also a very nice course which I have previously played a few times. Maybe its worth mentioning that caddies in Sentul are very friendly and beautiful too...that explained why golf courses in Bogor are more popular than courses in Jakarta.
The organizer provided us two dinners at Pondok Laguna and Cabe Ijo, food simply delicious because they were free dinner, so to speak, should try the Baracudda grilled fish and sayur pakis.
Third day we played at Damai Indah/Bumi Serpong GC near Tangerang not too far from Jakarta. Very nice course and we should play there when visiting Jakarta next time.
Tired but happy we left hotel at 10.00 am to catch the flight home at 1.30 pm.
Golf is very popular game .It is very much popular in USA .But when you go for playing this game you should need an best golf watch .Thank you for your best blog.
