A Golfer's Delight

I was on a visit to the Trivandrum Golf Club and played a round of 18 holes on sunday and 9 holes on Monday.

The weather was wonderful with cloudy sky,light drizzle and the course at its best green with the trees grown taller.The view of the Ponmudi hills in the backdrop was wonderful too.

The only structure of its kind in India and maybe whole of the world this Golf club building -a pagoda like structure is unique.

I was happy to see that the club has also received the best Tourist friendly golf club award in Asia and Pacific.

In fact when I was playing there I had given a suggestion to have special packages for tourists to enjoy the only one of its kind heritage golf club in the world.

I had a good round on sunday making at least 7 or 8 pars.

There was a small mishap with one of the golf carts for hole 14 when the golfer driving it tried to drive with one hand while sipping the hot tea with the other and the golf car went in to the left side drainage ditch as he tried to pass the tea cup to the caddy behind.Escaped with very mild cuts & bruises and some pain.

All wished the next tournament would come soon.
