Golfing In Tawau, Sabah by Yuzer Yusoff (SGC AJK)

To my STAROBA golfing pals.

I had a golfing trip in Tawau recently. I am sure most of you would've heard of Shan Shui GC (unless u r 24h/c buaya). It was challenging, scenic and beautiful. True to the reviews. It wasn't easy to play but very inviting. I thought that was the best Tawau could offer. I was wrong.

The Hot Spring GC was beyond expectation. It was so so so much better. It was just awesome. The whole course was more challenging, memorable and lots of unique character on each hole + hornbills hovering above you while approaching to a short par4 hole! A must golfing destination. Better than most in Indonesia and Thailand.

I strongly urge the committee to consider this local destination seriously. Accommodation is reasonable especially in apartment.

Check-out the pix.

Lupa satu lagi (yes, they do have lady caddies)

Surabaya.....anybody?

The SIGC pro-tem committee has decided to do a tour of Surabaya this coming 19th Feb to 22nd Feb 2009. Airasia is currently having a promotion with a very good airfare to Surabaya. We plan to play at Ciputra, Finna and Taman Dayu and an optional game at Bukit Darmo.

This trip will also enable us to look at some of the villas and cottages being developed at Finna. ( read my earlier blog about the vision and mission of the Staroba International Golf Club).
