Just returned from a 2 day/1 night golf trip to Batam with the boys. It was a guy getaway. Left on Sunday on the noon ferry from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal and arrived in time for a 1pm tee off. Was really pissed to find out that all the buggies were out because of a morning tournament and had to cool the heels in the coffee shop. Then we were assigned two rooky caddies who were clueles. To make matters worse, Jon's shoes came apart (2 years of dis-use does that to shoes!!!).
After the game, transferred to Batam View Hotel. Was better than we expected as it has been renovated. Washed up and had dinner at 'Kelong' the seafood restuarnt attached to the hotel but it was more like Thai style zi-char! Enjoyed some cheap California wine whilst catching the Singapore-Vietnam game. (Singapore lost 1-0 because of some crappy defending). Retired to the room to play 'Zhou Di Ju'.
Played another round in the morning. Much better game - better caddies, better course and better score. Had lunch and returned to Singapore after buying Kuey Lapis for wifey. It was a good bonding time with the boys!
