YowCH golf at Ria Bintan
TYLin Management organised a golf game at Ria Bintan Golf Club (Indonesia) from 9 to 10 Nov 2013 (Saturday to Sunday). There are 2 courses, Ocean (18 holes, very pretty) and Forest (9 holes, rather normal). The players (8 total) left Singapore at 11:00am.
Once we reached the Resort, grabbed a quick lunch and started the first 18 holes on Ocean Course at 12:45pm (Indo time). The photos are of holes 8 and 9, very pretty sea view.
This faraway photo is the first flight, the better and faster players. YowCH is of course in the second flight.
The first game ended at 5:15pm, with YowCH losing 12 balls and scored nothing (5 actual +3, the rest more than +3). We then left for seafood dinner at Restaurant Kampoeng Nelayan, and the food was great. The 8 of us drank 4 bottles of wine at the restaurant and after dinner, another 2 bottles during chit chat (one colleague did not drink, being Moslem).
We slept at 11:00pm.
The next morning, we started playing at 6:45am, but it was drizzling (rather heavy at times) for the first 3 hours.
Again nice sceneries on the Ocean Course.
The first 18 holes on Ocean Course was completed at 11:45am. After a short 15 minutes lunch, we played the next 9-holes on the Forest Course, ending at 2:00pm. YowCH lost 13 balls in the first 18 holes and 6 more in the second 9 holes. But scoring wise, there were 7 actual +3 and once a +1!
After a quick shower, we departed and reached Singapore at 6:45pm (Singapore time), and YowCH reached home at 8:15pm after dropping off the overseas colleagues at their hotels (having shared a cab).
Big thanks to Grace and the children for supporting this outing. Also big thanks to Grace’s parents who helped out and sent David to the Scouts campfire, and to Quincy for fetching Esther to ballet and back, and to Hong Kian who took the boys to soccer. Not easy to get away for a game of golf! And also to Fen Leong for lending YowCH his golf set.
