ROYAL PEKAN GOLF CLUB

Welcome to Royal Pekan golf club!!!! Another monster need to deal with.. For those has been curse by hole no 10, 196 yards par 3, you know the pain that i had going thru.

This golf club is very different compare to KRIK. Most of the hole are really need you to focus on the club selection. This golf course is also under major renovation including its club house.


above: Hole number 7, 193 yard par3. The is water in the right and deep bunker in the left on the green. Solid 3 wood three with a bit of draw will do. Any slice will end up in the water. confirm!!!

Wide fairway doesn't mean you will able to attack for birdie. This 426yard par 4 really need you to really consistent with your iron shot.

Another long Par 3 to negotiate. 196 yard which is the longest Par 3 in this golf course. Water hazards every where. Sometime , i'm using my R7 driver to attack the green. You also need to look out for 3 bunker traps beside the green.

if you notice , there is water hazard in the left of your screen. i'm still wonder how many golf ball in there?

What a beautiful day......(if you still able to play for another 9 hole)



Another signature hole, par 3 187 yard. wood 5 is the best solution unless you think you can blast you 4 iron into the 5km - 7km wind blows direct to your face!!!

Green hole number 18. Until now has yet to on in two shot. Water hazard in the right and tricky bunker trap on the left.

So far, 45 in the best score i ever had in this long golf course. You also will have to go thru 2 long par 5. The longest is 596 yard dog leg to the left. Phew!!! you are slightly better than tiger if you able to reach the green in two.
Overall, its value for the money if you only pay RM500.00 for life membership fee!!!!





KELAB REKREASI INDERA KUANTAN

I had played this wired game since 2000 and than registered as KGSS or Kelab Golf Sana Sini. Kelab rekreasi Indera Kuantan (KRIK) is the first club that i had ever joint as life membership. To be honest, i have yet to score below 40 in this golf course. The best best score i ever have was 42 in 2006. Till then, average score 45 & 46. You know why, lets tour with me for hole per hole in this f****n golf course.


Hole no 1: Short par 4 with slight dog leg to the right. If you are hard hitter ,pls dont ever try to blast your golf ball with your expensive fucking driver since surely will end up direct to the mosque beside the green. Furthermore three challenging bunker waiting for you near the hill slope green.




Hole no 3: After you finish the hole number 2 par 5 also slightly dog leg to the right, you will encounter this 176m challenging par 3.Solid wood 3 will do. unless your a slicer than your score at least double bogey since there is a made man so call lake waiting for you. If you hook the ball, the possibility you will hit some three in the left. Kalau worse sangat pun you will hit "budak sekolah" waiting for their bus.



Okay, we move forward to this so called "sharifah Aini" hole. Before that, remind you to try to score as lowest as you can get as your "bekal" for this hole. This hole will curse all the way to the pin. This monster 461M par 5 will teach you a lesson how important course management is!!. OB on the both left and right side with a few inches rough to negotiate with. For normal hard hitter, they will try to on in two but for regular golfer like me and..........

i told you that regular golfer who try on in two will the consequences. See ... Abdul Jabar has been curse. He tried very hard but end up with penalty shot. He still tried again to on in 4 but still end up with triple bogey. Huargh huargh huargh...

Okay, this is my favorite hole. Short Par 4 302m slightly dog leg to the right. See the huge fence beside the tangki air?. That will prevent the golf ball flying to the Hall next to it. But still, ball flying and breaks the utility hall windows. This is again, your course management is very important. All you need to make sure you are able to make your second shot playable. If you tried to blast with your driver, the possibility you gain triple bogey is 80%!!!

This is from your second shot view (Kalau your 1st shot tak OB la). You are able to attack birdie from here. But watch out for OB sign on the left & right of this fairway.

Hole no 6: Short par 3 130m to the pin. But still unable to make regular birdie. Bear in mind, if you hook the ball to the left, the possibility your ball hitting a car passing by is 100%.


Hole no 7: The longest par 4 ever. Even hard hitter like Kerol or Jabar never on in two. For my self is definitely on in three. no question about it. if you get double bogey considered ok already.



Hole no 8: Again, if you are a hard hitter, this hole is kacang putih. BUT, if you are a slicer, most probably your ball will ended in to "Panglima's house". Per day, i saw at least more than 10 ball went inside his house.


As mentioned, if you are able to drive at least 200m, you will easily able to attack for birdie. For me, Par is good enough since my driver only around180m. (S**t)

This is green for hole number 2 you need to negotiate afterward.



Hole number 9: Dog leg 340m par 4. At last final hole!!!!

View form the tee box number 9. See on the left? That is the green hole number 2 you need to look at. Give away for golfer to finish the put of you will hit their head with your golf ball!!!!.
This hole actually all you need to drive the ball straight to the lamp post (some golfer terus hit the lamp post) and we will see our faith later.

If you are golfer like me, then you have to negotiate with that fuckin three. See my ball at the center of picture?. Yes, my drive a lit a bit short and now i had to carry that fuckin three. Unless you are able to slice the ball to the green. (yeah, you fuckin moron!!!!) . OB on the left & right of the fairway (so many fuckin OB in this golf course!!!!). If you can carry the three , you are able to make a birdie. (jangan mimpi lah).
My fitness is only for 9 holes and i am only able to score 47 in that round........ (F**K!!!).
Kudoos to panglima and his dedicated staff in maintenance this golf course. we are really appreciate that.

Nama Saya Norsiah Pak!!!!

Golfing in Malaysia really need you to be fit & mentally prepared especially when you play your 2nd nine under the hot & shinny malaysian day. Then once you "koyak" a few hole you started to dream playing in a nice, cool weather like Augusta or Home of Golf in UK.


Last week i managed to squeeze our precious time during company meeting at Awana Genting. We managed to do some golfing thru the second nine. Fuh... just like entering British Open in UK. Picture below spoke by itself.






Picture above: Kerol with his full concentration teeing off on hole number 6, par 4. unfortunately,his ball end up slicing to the right. (terus hilang). Err... our Kok Siew Kong is actually waiting for his turn for his provisional ball... ( i cant remember how many golf ball they were using for that nine hole)

As always..... i beat them all!!!!! Huargh! Huargh! Huargh! Sorry bro... and it will be always like that. For me , you guys not also lost to me but also to my caddy. Her name is NORSIAH!!!!!

Wired And Wet!!!!

Argh... today is exactly 31 days i left my f****n blog alone. Nevertheless, my golf game still remain intact. Just focusing more on my new job.

For the last four week, i managed to go for a few round of golf in West Pahang. There was an incident i encounter that golfers are surely so call "wired" person.
After registered for 18 hole in Maran Hill Golf Resort (Resort?), we went ahead for hole number 1, (index 1) par 4. My Taylormade R7 driver was very nice to me and my ball end up in the center of fairway. But golf is not only about your long & straight fuckin' drive. The stroke will count until you manage to put into the cup. and yes, it happen to me. I had sliced my second shot and end up with triple bogey.

Nobody managed to par on that hole and we moved to second hole with new hope. This dog leg left par 5 need you to properly manage your club selection. After good tee off, we move to our downhill second shot. Then i saw quiet a wired thing in front of us.

I saw a man ( i think he is the club marshal), sitting beside a man's made lake and looks confuse. Since we are not able to make a shot, i approached him and asked him to move away . He just stood there and point his finger to the lake. Gosh!!!!! we saw golf buggy awash away but luckily nobody inside. How on earth that thing happen? The fairway quiet flat & wide. It is impossible for a slow moving golf buggy would slide like that unless the driver/golfer drove it like Lewis Hamilton.
To make thing really funny, i saw a golfer trying to make a put and he looks wet & full of mud. He manage to finish his 9 hole just like that. Well done bro!!!

At the club house, he still cursing around that during the incident, he lost a dozen Nike ball, lost new funkin' Nokia 3G hand phone and he unable to break a par!!!!


i wonder he will ever thanks god for not losing his life!!!!
