We were in high spirit to hit the golf course, formerly called Graha Helvetia GCC. The name change did not bring any improvement to the course. The clubhouse remains the same, small and old. It was just before noon when we teed off from the 10th Tee Box. It was super hot. This 5,884 metre Graha is a walking course designed by former golf great, Gary Player. Somehow, the mostly flat course fringed by palm trees failed to excite me.
The CourseAs we walked through the fairways, I could recall the course that played a very memorable role in my golfing life. It was a nostalgic game down memory lane. The sun was getting unbearably hot. We could not focus on our game. After the par-4 Hole 14, we decided to take a long rest at the drink hut. We spent a good one hour taking shelter from the sun. I was ready to go back to the clubhouse. The gang wanted to finish at least 9 holes.
The FairwaysSo we pressed on to the152 metre par-3 Hole 15th. My first shot steered to the right and ended in the flower bed just before the big pond. I took a mulligan and parred the hole. That was my best score for the whole nine holes. We struggled in the mid day heat until we reached the 18th Hole.
The GreensWe waited for our driver at the clubhouse. We just wanted to get out from the heat and go back to rest. For the first time, golf took a back seat for these crazy golfers.
