After a good night rest at our hotel, the Grand Millenium Sireh at Tanah Abang, we all woke up for breakfast and left the hotel for the Pondok Indah Golf Course for the second day of the 3-day tournament.
The second day game was originally planned to be played on the 'greensome/foursome' format. But the Koba Tin contingent who had several practice rounds at these selected courses found the format too difficult to understand decided to scrap the plan and stick to the 4-ball best ball partnership contest, as on the first day game. It was a blessing for Staroba as its attempt to get everybody to play a practice round at the Glenmarie before the trip to familiarise with the 'greensome' format only managed to get 6 players to come and they all were still unclear about the format despite the practice round.
In the bus to Pondok Indah, the Staroba Captain announced the team's pairing and their respective opponents. The two team captains had met the night before to draw out the fixture.Most of us have never played at the Pondok Indah Golf Course. Pondok Indah is one of the older golf courses in Jakarta, located in the expatriate encalve of the city. The golf course was reconstructed and much improved about two years ago and was in a great shape fit for any competition.

Pondok Indah is a buggy course. The fairways were narrow with lateral hazards and lakes to play with. So accurate and straight shots are crucial for getting good scores.

bags all on the buggies..As we waited for our tee-off time and helped ourselves to the light lunch served at the lounge, pakYuzer who came out winner on the first day took the opportunity to give his 5-cents worth of tips and advice on how to play well. Pakdokter learnt a lot from this 'champion'.....
Below are some short videos of pakYuzer's 'motivational' talk before the game...
