STAROBA - KOBA Tin INVITATION 2011 (Day 1) - pakdokter's match...

Pakdokter was the third flight which teed off from the 1st hole. Pakdokter (handicap 24) partnered pakDrAzaiddin ( handicap 16) to play against pakYan ( handicap 20) and pakFaskal ( handicap 24)
Pakdokter had just returned from Europe after spending 8 days in Prague last week and had not yet recovered from the jet-lag. Furthermore pakdokter hardly slept the night before due to the anxiety of having to wake up early to catch the flight to Jakarta. So, pakdokter was not expecting to contribute much to the competition. In fact pakdokter was greatly anxious as the last time pakdokter played at Cengkareng a few months ago, pakdokter developed a severe leg cramps after having walked through about 15 holes.
pakYan, pakDrAzaiddin, pakdokter and pakFaskal...

pretty vistas of the Cengkareng....

So pakdokter counted much on pakDrAzaiddin to carry pakdokter throughout the match. And pakDrAzaiddin did not disappoint! He scored 5 pars in the first 8 holes to give us 3-up lead before pakdokter contributed a par at the 9th hole to add to our tally. We maintained our game, much so pakDrAzaiddin, that we came home winning the match 4 upwith 2 to go and gave 1 point to STAROBA
Pakdokter came home with pakdokter's usual score range of 50/55.

Cengkareng played to a very fast green that day - pakdokter's estimate it was at least 11 or 12! On the par-4 hole No.2, pakdokter for the luck of it got to the green in two but 5-putted for a 7!.........In most, if not all the holes, the pins were placed at steep slopes that if one putted downhill and missed the hole.......well goodbye......
