My golf day in Indonesia: Ria Bintan



Today we took the ferry in the morning over to Bintan to play golf at a course that is a real visual treat. Ocean views and very scenic holes. The greens were fast, so please excuse my 40 putts - even have to admit to a 4-putt :(  But, as a real highlight today, I shot par on all four par three holes and on two of the par fours holes, adding up to a 95. We started on the back nine, so the most scenic of the holes "number 9" was where we finished.

Yesterday's breakfast was then matched by a home-made dinner: very tender New York strip from the grill with potatoes and herbed oven tomatoes. Yummie. The night then ended on the roof top of Marina Sands SkyPark observation deck at the Ku De Ta to enjoy the sky line views of Singapore.
