Golfing at Staffield Country Resort, Mantin

Time for me to feature something about golf since this is my favourite game. Had our weekly game at Staffield Golf & Country Resort near Mantin, Negeri Sembilan with 11 other buddies. One of the best golf course in Malaysia and it's even better now because most of their buggies (golf cart) are equipped with state-of-the-art GPS (Global Positioning System). No, it cannot find your golf ball lost as a result of strayed shots. This system informs you the exact distance to the green of each hole. Stunning system as it also can track other buggies in front of you and warns you not to play your shot if they are within range. The 12 of us had a sort of mini tournament and it's mind boggling to note that the winner shot an 8 under par (nett score after handicap deduction). Buaya? Perhaps! :)

Scary Par 3 requiring at least a 170 metre carry over the water. The dude pictured here got a par for this hole.
