over this couple of days, i've been playing lots of golf.. in fact just finished playing at kota permai and i can say, boy this course is really a memorable one... you might just wonder why i said that since my home course is saujana, u noe la.. saujana ppl will say that they are still the best in msia.. i don't disagree.. but after laying off for quite a while, and also having played at tropicana golf and country club just 3-4 days back, i would say that kota permai is giving saujana a real fight...
to start off with, a par golf magazine poll once voted kota permai as the most memorable course.. hell yeah! i agree.. i can remember the details of the holes that i played.. i can't remember any tropicana holes to begin with.. all i remembered was the weather on that day when i took on 18 holes at tropicana was FANTASTIC.. other than that my caddie got a while in deciding what club for me to use as i am such a big hitter i overshot greens with her selection of iron choices... yeah.. tropicana uses indo caddies.. and i got a female caddie.. gosh! after about 2-3 holes, she was writing down some notes on my iron shots and then she gave advice on the slopes around the greens.. i would say service is 1st class.. but the course? errrr....... i think after playing at kota permai, i would say kota permai wins hands down..
not that tropicana isn't giving a good fight, but kota permai grass were just wonderful and marshalls were all over the course and at one time i forgot to replace the sand in the divot that i took i kana warning and went back to replace the sand... i mean.. come on la bro... it's just one heck of a divot.. but to my surprise, all the divots taken on the fairway were filled with sand.. and i realised that the drainage system of kota permai is just so good it was dry even after a downpour in the afternoon.. and the fairway is so well maintained.. darn.. today i am just happy playing at kota permai...
anyway tropicana was ok.. besides close to having a heat stroke at the beginning 4 holes, where the sun isn't blocked out by the clouds, the rest of the game were played in very shady conditions.. good relaxing game.. that's the beauty of playing during public holidays and working days.. and i'm just wanting to try a game under the floodlights when playing at night in kota permai.. i haven't played any night golf before and would like to try that out...
i haven't played at saujana too for ages.. so playing at other 4/5 star courses of course brings back remnisence of your own home club.. but much has changed in saujana apparently.. fairways lengthened, greens making faster than before (already fast la, want to make faster, think rollercoaster ar?) and also bunkers which are deep enough to swallow you in.. you see the diff is that i don't mind catching bunkers in tropicana or kota permai, which i visited alot due to inacurate iron play when approaching the greens.. but you can easily pick the bunker shots off kota permai and tropicana.. but wait till you get swallowed in bunkers in saujana.. my record of bunker escape? (a WHOPPING 7 STROKES) just to get out of that silly bunker in the palm course of saujana.. mulligan that hole! haha..
so what's up for the next couple of days plan? my car broke down. haih.. can't start.. hopefully that tmw the service centre is open.. have to service lor the car.. haih.. holiday come and breakdown.. anyway what can i do, i dont decide the car to break down wan ler.. i think this one is quite a big prob liao.. hopefully it can be repaired! haih.. sadness...
BUT BUT BUT.. today hearing the sound of my 6 iron that got onto the green approaching at 175 metres away and hearing that sweet spot sound with the lovely pure contact of iron to the ball leaves my heart melting away.. it's like ecstasy.. man.. i wanna go back and tackle another round of kota permai! haha.. it's just good la.. like seriously no joke good..=)
ok la.. that's all about golf.. i need to sleep early for tmw servicing car.. it's been a long day today... but a rather enjoyable one.. waiting for the next game to begin...=P which i don't noe when thou...
