Our group played Rancamaya Golf and Country Club on the third day, situated at western Jakarta the course was beautiful to say the least. This was also the day when a demo plane from Russia went missing and later it was determined that it crashed at Mount Salak. All day long the news was on television and the people in Indonesia proposed many theories why the plane went down but we are not going to discuss them here, after all this is a golf blog. We have a nice view of Mount Salak from the course and from most of the tee box.
The trip from Sparks Hotel at Mangga Besar, Jakarta to the golf course took more than an hour so golfers were getting restless in the bus and I kept checking our progress with Google Maps that tell you the approximate distance and time to the destination. I would propose to our organizer to stay in Bogor when playing Bogor golf courses and stay in Jakarta when playing Jakarta courses.
Our organizer YM Raja Razak (Hcp 18)
We played
in the morning at about 11 am that day. At the first tee we all could see the magnificent view on Mount
Salak, it felt so near due to the size of the mountain. After playing several holes we were pleasantly surprised and
hypnotized by the magnificent view and the extraordinary contour of the
course itself. The course itself was quite challenging but playable. We all
played from the Blue tee and sometimes you would get a blind tee shot or blind approach.
We
had spent our four hours and 18 holes of golf there, then we proceed to have dinner at the local Restaurant Padang on the way to our hotel.
I played quite well at Rancamaya Golf Club ans scored 1 under net and a small daily prize allocation, enough to pay for a 1 hour foot massage. At the end of the day I was second in the overall Order of Merit which was pretty good but then due to the slow pace of play I spent more time with the pretty caddies...
A lot of them caddies are undergraduates at local Universities and some spoke decent English, no wonder they looked tired and sleepy too! Lack of sleep perhaps for whatever reason.
This happy man got a caddy that looks like our Malaysian Singer Sheila H, people told me they held hands coming out of the bunker, no need to guess about his golf score...nevertheless he was my schoolmate at the boarding school in Ipoh.
When playing Jakarta golf course avoid playing weekends, there is a GOLF LEVY of IDR 1,000,000 for visitors...or non-members!
