PLAY CONSERVATIVELY AT NILAI SPRING GOLF - NEGRI SEMBILAN, MALAYSIA.

It looks quite easy, but for the first timer, take your time before teeing off . I prefer playing conservatively at this three nines course. I thought after getting a par at par 3 6th, Mango Nine,it will be smooth sailing, but my over confidence took me to many sand traps. The rough is a bit tough. Trying to hit from the slope is another impossible task sometimes.
You could play a round of golf here before catching a flight as it is 20 minutes away from either LCCT or KLIA.
You can always walk in, green fees for weekdays is RM55 and RM110 for weekeneds, and buggies are charged at RM40. The food is lovely, the caddies are quite helpful but seek second opinion when putting.Phone +6068508888,Fax +6068503388

TEE OFF WITH THE LEGEND- SURABAYA

The fairways , the greens are breathtaking. Despite of boogies and double boogies, we loved the strolling along the almost natural streams, creating tough hazards but lovely landscape. The legend , Jack Niklaus himself designed the course, creating 18 challenging holes. Forget your score card , just enjoy the lush greenery around you. Watching Jack play and playing his designed course are two different experiences. The green fee is slightly over USD100, and you get the world class mountain resort ambience. For decades the vicinity of this Mount Welirang, near Malang has been a fosert reserve and Jack has intelligently built the course without even disturbing the natural beauty of this place.

JIMBARAN SUNSET DINNER -BALI

Be there by 6.40 and you won't miss the lovely sunset at the Jimbaran beach, near Kuta, Bali. The three piece band is trying hard to play Stevie Wonder's song amidst the pounding sound of the waves, ploughing through the hard sand. Pick your garoupa form the tank and try the fried kangkung with shrimp paste . For USD50 you get a spread of grilled sea food for two. Romance in the air, most couple spent hours on the beach, for a quite,romantic evening. Try the banana drink and pick your grilled corn sold the peddlars pushing their carts along the beach.

LET YOUR HAIR LOOSE IN BALI

Once you put your feet in Bali, your mood suddenly change. Its the atmosphere around you. Whether you are in for business meeting or presenting paper at a convention, your mind is walking away to look for either a golf course nearby or savouring the freshness of seafood overlooking the beach at Jimbaran. Ya, the meeting was on scheduled, everyone agreed what should be in the plan for 2008. The mission statement was even more ambitious, the time line was strict and we promised to achieve the goals.
Stayed in Sanur Paradise Plaza, 30 minutes away from the the airport, great ambience, lovely welcoming drink. Its quite hot in December . Drinking hole is just across the road form the hotel, for nasi padang lover, Nat Rabu restaurant is five minutes away by taxi. Shuttle service is OK, sometimes a bit slow, but thats the way how they take things in Bali. Anyway get things cool and steady. Make sure ask for a good aircond van.
